The growth of the account
15th April
After creating and uploading the first initial pictures we started posting a lot more. Including hashtags and linking locations. This helped the page to grow a lot as people were interacting by likings and following. On my personal account I updated my story asking my followers to go check out and follow Selfies of Leicester, as you can see below. Charlotte also did the same and asked people to check out our page. This helped us gain a lot more followers and brought more attention to the page.
Using hashtags such Leicester and Leicester city brought us some likes and followers from people who were searching the location which was another great way of bring people to the page.
We even got one of our followers to join in with the selfie taking as he sent us in of the Lewis tower. This really made us feel that the page was connect with people and that it was actually engaging and interesting. Of course we went an found an old image of the same location he took it in and we posted it to our page.
As well as this we received some lovely comment such as this.
