Additionally, Instagram serves as a platform for businesses, influencers, and creators to promote their products, services, and personal brand to a global audience. Overall, Instagram is a versatile platform that enables users to connect, share, and discover content related to their interests and passions.

THERE ARE CERTAIN POINTS A BEGINNER MUST KEEP IN MIND IN ORDER TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL FOOD INFLUENCER AND THEY HAVE BEEN BROKEN DOWN IN EASY POINTS BELOW:-

      0.  STRATEGISE AND PLAN YOUR CONTENT:  To begin as a food influencer one must know what kind of content will they post for example if they are going to show cooking recipes they must show what kind of recipes will they share and if they are going to review a restaurant they must choose what kind depending on factors like the price and the likes of the audience.

1. CREATE UNIQUENESS: In a rough calculation there are about 65 million food influencers on Instagram which is about 3.25% of Instagram's total users, so in order to stand out one must be unique, to be unique one must choose a unique profile name and picture along with a bio which can highlight your main motive as a food influencer, this  can also build brand value.

        2.PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY CONTENT: After looking at multiple reels and food reviews of different food influencers it is so obvious that the ones with higher quality content get more popular faster and get more reviews because it is so obvious that an audience would prefer more high resolution and clear videos and photos rather than lower quality ones, so in order to grow as a food influencer one must invest in a good camera and a mic to capture proper asmr audios.

        3. ENGAGE WITH YOUR  AUDIENCE: As a beginner it may be difficult to build an audience but once you do so start engaging with them , reply to their comments , start a Q&A poll on your story and take their suggestions on your next content type, this will help build a strong relationship with the audience and thus increase the followers count.

4.USE RELEVANT HASHTAGS (#):  If an influencer has to grow on Instagram hashtags usually play an important role, because hashtags helps the content to reach the fyp ( for you page) of an individual who may like that content. Famous hashtags like:

• #foodie
• #foodporn
• #instafood
• #foodgasm
• #foodphotography
• #foodstagram
• #yum
• #delicious
• #foodblogger
• #homemade
• #foodlover
• #eeeeeats
• #foodpics
• #foodgram
• #foodblog
• #foodforthought
• #foodiegram
• #foodcoma
• #fooddiary

#foodinspiration    these hashtags are the most common ones used in most of the food influencers posts and videos I have seen and they help content get viral, also do not leave space between the hashtags.

    

           5. BE CONSISTENT:  The key to growing is consistency , an influencer who regular posts content has more chances of becoming viral soon, an influencer can post two posts a day , photos in  the afternoon and videos in the evening , this will make the algorithm promote the content.

          6. BE HONEST: The more genuine you are the more your followers will increase their trust in you, this is by far the most important point  because when you are an influencer you are motivating other to do what you are doing so please be honest.

These were some of the most important point that we noticed a  new food influencer on Instagram may require to get them started off with.
