Scams, fake followers, Instagram pods, and other hacks aren't going to help you get Instagram famous. Instead, try good old-fashioned dedication.

 
Looking for a listicle to show you how to become social media famous in some easy steps? You invested find that here.

While the life of an Instagram influencer may look easy, considering a lot more to it than latte art and filtered sunsets.

And if there's one thing to learn from the burning trash fire that was Fyre Fest, Caroline Calloway's ghostwriter takedown, or even Millie Bobby Brown's skincare tutorial snafu, it's that the social currency of faking-it-until-you-make-it is pretty spent much.

In other words, social scams, fake followers, Instagram pods, and other hacks are going to fly — especially with recent changes to Instagram’s algorithm. Instead, think real talk, representation, relatability, transparency, and good old-fashioned dedication.

So what does this mean when it comes to attaining Instagram fame for you or your business? We analyzed strategies and rounded up advice from several top Instagram influencers to give you some expert tips 

How to become Instagram famous

No shortcuts here. Follow these tips from influencers to learn how to get Instagram famous the authentic way. 

1. Use a personal profile photo rather than a logo

Your profile photo is what Instagram members see before clicking on your story, interacting with your posts, or visiting your profile. With such high visibility, the influencer aadil kamal recommends putting your best face forward.

"Instagram is a personal platform," explains aadil.17 on his blog. “People come on Instagram not to be sold to by a corporation, but to be entertained. They want to know the YOU behind your account. Give them a person, not a logo. Personalize your brand. " 

 
 
Almost everyone who is Instagram famous uses a picture of their face as their profile photo.
 

2. Remember who your followers want to see (hint: it's you)

Carry that profile picture tip over to your grid as well.

People may follow influencers for their perspective, photography skills, parenting advice, travel hacks, and more. But ultimately, people want to see you.
