How did you kick start it with first followers? Simply by commenting somewhere else?

Instagram is very interesting about this. I was reposting photos other people had taken and posted. I was sure I'd get some complaints. Not a single complaint. In fact the opposite. People thanking me for "featuring" them. Very interesting. People want exposure and recognition and are happy for you to use their content if it helps get them that.
One nice feature the iconosquare widget has is you can download the HD version of any instagram photo. Very helpful ;)
First followers is always tricky. I loaded up the account with 5 to 10 pictures to start and then started using the tactic I described above. Surprisingly they started rolling in. The more niche the market the better and quicker the growth. I've tried this in both leggings market but also in the travel market. The travel market was far more responsive and quicker to grow.
