Why 500 followers? As soon as you gain 500 followers on your Instagram profile, you would be able to properly use a great feature that could help you grow your profile – hashtags in Instagram stories.
What happens after 10k followers on Instagram?
Once you have 10k followers, Instagram will make it easier for you to get people to your website via Stories with the swipe up to link feature. Swipe up is the only way to get a direct link from your Instagram to your other web properties. And, it’s available in STORIES, if you have 10k followers.
