We all crave a sense of belonging. Constantly scrolling through endless feeds, makes it easy to yearn for deeper connections with the creators you admire. But as a content creator yourself, how do you bridge that gap? You want your followers to feel like friends, part of a supportive community, without losing all aspects of your privacy. With Instagram's Close Friends feature you can curate a special list of followers who receive exclusive content that creates a sense of VIP treatment and loyalty to your audience.

How to use this feature:

The beauty of Close Friends lies in its exclusivity. You can build your exclusive community by inviting them directly from your existing list. Imagine their delight when they receive a personalized invitation to join your Close Friends list!

In curating this list, you want to choose followers who consistently interact with your content, participate in discussions, and demonstrate genuine interest in your creative journey. By selecting these engaged followers, you're fostering a sense of community and rewarding their dedication. It’s important to have Quality Over Quantity. A tight-knit group that truly values your content is better than having a massive list with no interaction.
