Here’s an overview of the key aspects of creating awareness:

Following and Unfollowing relevant accounts. This is a more old-school method, though it still works.
Ask your followers to tag a friend based on the content you share.
Giveaways: try the ‘Tag to Win’ method. Ask your friends to ‘Tag a Friend’ on the post in order to win.
