Create a Business Account
This is different from your regular account, and here you get more privileges than you would get from your normal Instagram account.
When you choose to make a business account, you get access to analytics of how your posts are performing. Here, you can check which posts are getting viewed by which kind of audience, and you can also get insights on your audience in general.

Do not limit yourself to posting rarely. Keep posting on your Instagram business page regularly and keep your audience engaged. The best way to reach out to a wider audience is by using different hashtags.

There are various tags that people keep searching for, time to time. Getting to see your contest on one such tag would work in your favor always. Forex promotion would work best when you have used a sufficiently good quality of hashtags in each of your post.

If you are confused on which hashtags to use, you can also check the search bar on Instagram to find out the relevant hashtags along with the number of posts related to each. This number govern how popular that particular hashtag is. Check out the suggestions and use the hashtags that suit best with your post.
Keep your content engaging and interesting. That is the primary key to attract people!
