Instagram Lessons from the Top 3 Liked Images of 2015
The number one liked image on Instagram is Kendall Jenner’s heart hair with 3.3 million hits. Besides having the built-in following of being a part of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, Kendall has become a celebrity in her own right with her Victoria’s Secret and Estee Lauder modeling. What makes this image so well-liked is it’s a fun take on the everyday selfie. Arranging her hair in the shape of hearts shows Instagram posts don’t have be the same old, duck-lipped selfie. Take images of your employees working and doing something fun/unusual to show a goofy side online..
Taylor Swift and Kanye West have an odd history together and this time she took to Instagram to deal with it. After presenting an award to Kanye West in September, he sent T.Swift flowers to bury the “Moon Man” hatchet once and for all. What makes this picture worthy of the 2.6 million likes is the legendary rift between the “Shake it Off” singer and Mr. Kim Kardashian. While we don’t recommend starting fights with people in your industry, you could easily gain a supportive following by putting a spotlight on other businesses; share the love to get love.
