We all are chit-chatting about his on the same boat when we see this question or read it on any forum. As per my instinct and experience about this topic. This is what we can do to tackle it :

• Try to post regularly, one post per day to keep the momentum and flow on your Instagram profile.
• Try posting Stories related to your profile, which adds a curiosity among your followers to check your new story every time you post it. You can post as many stories you can, but make sure you don’t overdo it. Keep it tight and simple.
• Keep a specific time of the day for the post. So your followers are aware and waiting for the post. Create that time slot for you. Dedicated time slot which will be only yours. In that time window, the follower likes and hashtags driven likes will trend your photo.
• Add some story related to your post, so that followers are engaged in your post and engagement time on the post is healthy.
• Create 16 seconds video about your profile and post it on IGTV. This will self promote your profile for good. Soothing background music with handpicked images from your profile will do the trick.
