We were able to get an interview with the team at Linkapp, an LA-based startup that promises to offer exciting new ways for Instagram users to create content and grow their accounts. If you’re active on Instagram, or interested in seeing how they can help you, read on and find out how they plan to change the Instagram game!
We’re excited to see how this new app will help grow our Instagram accounts, and hope you’re excited as well!
What is Linkapp?
is being billed as a platform where creators can come together and build connections in their industry. Link helps users find influencers and creators who live in the same city or area as them. This offers users the chance to connect and team up for collaborations. Link collaborations are typically paired with a professional photographer who can help the average user drastically up their Instagram profile! These collabs are a great chance to get your name out to a wider audience and expand your following.
Through Linkapp’s platform selected users will be able to host collaborations with other influencers in their area and connect through real-life experiences. These experiences serve a dual purpose of growing accounts through and serve as a networking platform for people looking to expand their social circle.
Why do we need Linkapp?
The simple answer is that it provides a way to grow your Instagram account without spending money. Yes, Link is a free-to-use app that makes money from businesses that join their influencer program. For basic , the app is free (and a great resource to take advantage of), while large accounts can even make money through collaborations!
This is great news as currently every way to grow on Instagram is either time (liking and commenting on photos), expensive (paying for influencer shoutouts), or outright dangerous (using automation services can lead to account bans). Active Instagram users recently surpassed the 1 billion users per month mark which means there are plenty of accounts to reach.
With this in mind, makes a lot of sense. We’re always happy to hear of new ways to grow on social media and Link checks every box on our list!
When will we see Linkapp?
The app is currently in its beta test phase with only a limited number of accounts being accepted during each phase of testing. Applications are being accepted for early access and you can find sign up info on their website. The full launch of the Link service is expected during Q1 2019 although, if selected, users may get access earlier than this. As of the time of this writing, a number of high-profile collaborations are being conducted with a small group of influencers. Expect a review of the service when our Instagram accounts get accepted to the platform!
Who can join?
The good news is that anyone with an Instagram account is able to apply to join Linkapp. The company has carved out spaces where both high-level influencers and normal Instagram users can operate and participate in collaborations. This should be good news for micro-influencers who are typically barred from using other services due to high follower requirements. Link believes that every user should be allowed to participate in account growing activities.
We at ViralHare might not have influencer status yet, but Link bills itself as a great way to grow Instagram accounts.
