First, choose an interesting picture that will make your friends want to like it or find it interesting. Second, edit your picture using Instagram's filters if needed, though many people prefer little or no editing. Third, add a brief caption and location to your photo. Fourth, post your picture and then check how many likes it gets in the first fifteen minutes while also looking at other photos.

2. FIRST, CHOOSE A PICTURE
You want your picture to stand out
You do not want it to be just another picture that you would put on
Facebook
You want your friends to like your picture, or think it is interesting

3. SECOND, EDIT YOUR PICTURE
Your picture must be square, so this could possibly mess things up
unless you have an app that could put borders on your picture.
Instagram offers a wide variety of filters and effects, such as
changing the contrast, or the sharpness.
I have found out that people like pictures that are not edited much, or
even not at all.

4. THIRD, ADD A CAPTION/LOCATION
You can add a caption to the bottom of every photo.
Make the caption quick and easy, as people really do not want to sit
and read your caption on Instagram all day, trust me.
You can add your location to the top of your post, and this could be
anything from the actual location to “Grandma’s House.”

5. FOURTH, POST YOUR PICTURE
Click the post button and it is shared with the entire world.
Now while you are waiting to see how many people like your picture
in the first fifteen minutes you can go look at other peoples pictures!
