When Instagram was launched it wasn’t even available for Android users but they worked hard, improved their tool, gathered tractions, and ultimately grew a lot of fans over the years. Nowadays Instagram is of course also available for Android and even Facebook thought that this photo-community would be worthy of their portfolio.
Starting through on Instagram is easy but what to post and how to gather followers? That’s a wholly different challenge. There are many strategies but I want to point you towards these core philosophies – engage with others, be authentic, be kind, don’t fake or troll, and keep on posting. As a little inspiration on how you could take snapshots for Instagram, here is the current list of the most-liked posts ever shared on Instagram. Enjoy!

So what is the summary of these examples that hit the top? We got the top users here being Kylie Jenner, with six posts, and Selena Gomez with four. What we can see is a variety of great theme examples on what to post. We see family shots, romance, fun moments, important events in someone’s life for us to have a glimpse into another world.
It’s not about faking a life that you’re not living. It’s about being you and being merry with others. Sharing milestones just as much as sharing a good laugh or maybe even awkward moments. A little foodporn here and there is okay as well – no questions asked. You’re a crafty person or a creative? Share your art with others. Working towards goals? Share the journey! There will be people who care and who want to join you in your endeavors.
