• Africa is an enormous continent with more than a billion people, countless resources, an incredible amount of diversity from top to bottom and an unlimited potential that is still waiting to be unlocked. While progress is being made bit by bit, there is still more that can be done. One way that this can be achieved is by embracing the online world and using it to spread messages of Africa's potential to the wider world. There is so much in this great continent that is still waiting to have the most made out of it. With this being the case, attention needs to be brought to it. By using the Internet to promote the positive side of Africa, it is more likely that people's attention will be drawn this way and real work can begin on this project.

    How can Instagram be of use for this purpose?

    Engaging with the online world is the perfect way to spread messages about any project you are working on, whether it be a creative one or a business one. There are many places that this can be done in but the one which is sure to gain you the most attention at this moment in time is Instagram. Instagram is a worldwide network that gives its users the chance to share their ideas and opinions as well as their creations with more than a billion people spread all around the world. Instagram focuses on the power of images to get this message across. In a place as photogenic as Africa, this is power that can be utilised to its fullest extent to draw attention to what is going on in the continent. If you have a look at the results for the #africa hashtag on Instagram, you can see that there are more than twenty million uses of it. These results show plenty of enchanting shots which are sure to capture the eye of many. Unfortunately, due to the technological restraints in many parts of the continent, only 0.74% of African citizens are Instagram users. If this can change, there is a very clear path for greater attention for the people of Africa, something which is needed if the continent is to advance.

    How can you make a difference?

    If you are one of the people in Africa looking to help the continent develop, there are many ways that you can use Instagram to draw attention to your particular cause. Whether you are hoping to address issues that plague your country or you want to share artistic creations from your area or you have a business that wants to share its products and services with the wider world, then by using Instagram, you can do just that. There are more than a billion people who use the service and the vast majority of these are based outside Africa. This offers users unprecedented potential for spreading messages further afield. Once you get this attention, you will be able to get more support for your project. Getting attention in the first place is important and you need to have a popular account to get the most out of it.

    Making the most of Instagram comments

    If you are looking for ways to attract more attention for your profile, it is possible to get comments on Instagram from other Instagram users. These comments can be used to develop conversations and, through these, give your followers, or anyone else who is paying attention, a better idea of what your profile is about and what you offer to your followers and Instagram as a whole. Comments are a good way for Instagrammers to provide more information to curious users who are looking for it. You can also use it to develop a friendly and accomodating communication style and this will surely win you more fans as people appreciate that their queries and comments are being addressed promptly and in a friendly way by people who take them seriously.

    Paying for comments is just one part of this growing your profile. It is also possible to pay for other Instagram features such as likes, vies and followers. There are many websites which you can look through to find the offer for Instagram features that works best for you. The one thing you want to be sure about is that you are using a website that you can trust; one that will give you the exact service you are looking for. You need to keep your eyes open regarding this point as while many websites will offer you these features by using real Instagram users, not all of them actually provide you with that. You may see that some of the Instagram users that you have paid for having profiles that don't have many updates of their own or don't have pictures of themselves. They may also have a very high number of accounts that they are following while the number of followers they have of their own is extremely low. In addition, the comments you receive may be noticeably awkward. All of these things, when combined, can be indicative of the Instagram accounts being bot accounts. These accounts are automated ones which attempt to replicate the online behaviour of real Instagram users but don't always do so accurately. If you are going to pay for these features, you are better off paying for ones that you know come from real Instagrammers.
