Social media platforms YouTube is the prime account as I like the video style and share lifestyle stuff, funny things I do and occasionally content Instagram -  I don’t have a fixed thing I do so its varied content. I often use it to advertise the YouTube channel. How have you increased followers on YouTube this month? By being more active and making better videos. I have also been promoting more awareness of my YouTube channel and have now reached 100 subscribers. How have you increased your Instagram following? Following other people means there is a likely hood they will follow you back, so I have followed more people, and this has been a successful strategy to increase my followers.
