It works great if you make real followers by encouraging them to follow you for any topic, news, information or what you can provide them like HD wallpapers, landscape imagery or public places pics.

As you have to make authority, try to ask your followers for testimonials of your profile.

Such as:

• Ask them to create an video with your bio and kindness
