profile followers into a spreadsheet<\/h2>\n<p>While the answers to a lot of algorithm-based questions may remain puzzling (like <i>how<\/i> does Instagram show its following list?), getting access to helpful metrics from one of the most prominent social media networks in the world has been made painless.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s all you need to do:<\/p>\n<p>1:<b> Create<\/b> a free <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/signup\">PhantomBuster account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>2:<b> Add <\/b>the <a

using PhantomBuster\u2019s browser extension.<\/p>\n<p>4:<b> Drop in<\/b> the Instagram profile URL of the profile that you would like to scrape. Note: the profile you are scraping can\u2019t be private.<\/p>\n<p>5: <b>Run it.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Instagram Follower Collector\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4Y0ULNVFDik?si=TS1FrE3Pk30QgfOT\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Take Note:<\/p>\n<p>Instagram limitations will allow you to extract <b>5000-9000 followers every 15 minutes<\/b>.<br \/>\nFor some profiles, a maximum of 50 followers will be displayed. In these cases, this is all the user data this Phantom will be able to access.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes there&#8217;s a discrepancy between the follower count on Instagram and the output of the Phantom. Instagram&#8217;s follower counts are not always correct since certain profiles that are banned, deleted, or otherwise unavailable may still be counted in the follower count, but will not be scraped by the Phantom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>What are the benefits of extracting Instagram followers?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re so glad you asked.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few reasons why people love this Phantom.<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s essentially a ready-made list of people potentially interested in your content<\/h3>\n<p>A list of Instagram followers is perhaps one of the most useful bits of information if you\u2019re looking to expand your network because it provides a list of people who are already following people in your industry.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you do with this list?<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have your Instagram follower list you can perform automated actions on them like follow, like, comment and watch their stories. The notifications should spark interest in your targeted audience, potentially rewarding you with new followers and likes.<\/p>\n<h3>It saves you an incredible amount of time spent scrolling<\/h3>\n<p>PhantomBuster allows you to extract a maximum of 5000-9000 Instagram followers every 15 minutes, manually which equates to <i>hundreds<\/i> of working hours per week!<\/p>\n<p>This Phantom extracts the maximum number of followers and picks up where it left off in the launches that follow.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep track of your competitors like never before<\/h3>\n<p>By using this Phantom\u2019s \u201c<b>Watcher Mode<\/b>\u201d you can keep a steady eye on your or your competitor\u2019s growth evolution.<\/p>\n<p>This feature exports new followers as they appear, leaving no guessing as to what is working and what isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Make the most of your exported followers list with these pro tips.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s next: 3 tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Tip 1: Get to know your audience<\/h3>\n<p>Knowing your audience is always an asset and with the ability to scrape any Instagram profile\u2019s followers, it just got a lot easier.<\/p>\n<p>With Instagram Business, you have access to Instagram Insights, a built-in native analytics tool you can use to get additional stats on your list of followers. The native feature offers many valuable insights, like what time of day your followers use Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>If these followers happen to follow one of your key competitors, then you\u2019ve landed yourself crucial marketing data.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 2:<b> <\/b>Engage, engage, engage!<\/h3>\n<p>So you\u2019ve done your research, know your audience, and are ready to start growing your following- what\u2019s next?<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that commenting on an Instagram post signals to the algorithm that the content is high quality?<\/p>\n<p>Once you have your list of followers, you can use PhantomBuster&#8217;s other Phantoms, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/automations\/instagram\/14303\/instagram-auto-commenter\">Instagram Auto Commenter <\/a>Phantom.<\/p>\n<p>This will allow you to write multiple comments that will be published randomly on each post.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 3: Humanize your brand<\/h3>\n<p>Use your Instagram following list viewer to be more human. Sure, automation is your friend, but people seek out authenticity. By gaining insight into Instagram users&#8217; followers, you can engage with a tailored response.<\/p>\n<p>User-generated comments and reviews are more valuable than ever, that\u2019s why brands are veering away from speaking about their product and choosing to share the real experiences of users. Using this newfound knowledge, you can drive relevant traffic directly to your product or service.<\/p>\n<p>A well-optimized link in your bio or post driven by relevant traffic can work wonders. Analyze the trends in your Instagram following list (ie. what other pages are they following, what they are saying about competitor products) to help your business find its appropriate voice.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram following lists can often be the missing key to transforming your Instagram profile into a powerful traffic driver for your business. This essential tool can potentially increase engagement, and sales and even help define your brand\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re to expand your business and save an immense amount of time, <a href=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/signup\">sign up<\/a> in seconds to get started.<\/p>\n<div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"4617e558091c6\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instagram does not offer a native feature for extracting followers, but you can use automation tools for this.
