I created a new profile, I post photos and make stories, but I have almost no followers. I understand that the competition is huge now, and organic growth is very slow. Advertising in the app works, but it is too expensive, and I see almost no results. Many friends have thousands of followers, and they say that without a starting base of people it is difficult to move forward. I wonder - is it really possible to quickly gain followers without spending a lot of money? Are there any proven ways to speed up the promotion process?
