3 min read Updated October 28, 2026

Short answer

Create a link with your download, add Follow user with your Instagram profile, and put the link in your bio or a story.

Why it works

Instagram followers are the ones who see your stories and reels next. Asking at the moment someone wants your freebie turns a one-time visitor into a follower.
