December 12, 2018

For some people simply reading about their favorite celebrities and enjoying their photos or interviews is just not enough. And it’s totally understandable. Everyone would like to be friends with their favorite famous person. But some people actually set this goal and try to achieve it. So we’ve been wondering how you can possibly make friends with a celebrity online, and it turns out that the best way is to draw their attention via social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. In this article, we’re taking you through the process of setting up a contact with your favorite celebrity.

How to get a celebrity to notice you on Instagram

1. Be original

Celebrities get thousands of comments on their social media. And mostly, they don’t have time to read even 5% of them. Some celebrities don’t bother reading comments at all. But if there’s a slight chance your favorite famous person reads your comment, be sure it is worth their attention. Don’t you agree that some casual compliments and straightforward friendship requests can truly interest them? So how to get a celebrity to like you – write creative comments.

2. Use direct messages

Of course, the situation with direct messages on Instagram is the same as with the comments. Celebrities get thousands of them each day, so the chances they will read yours are pretty low. However, they are greater than zero. Therefore, you need to know how to properly DM your favorite celebrity on Instagram or Twitter.

In case the celebrity isn’t following you, the messages you send will be received as a “request message.” For instance, if you DM Selena Gomez, she will receive a notification that reads “ *your name* wants to send you a message.” Some celebrities might actually read the message, but if they don’t hit the accept button, you will never know.

3. Make them follow you back

Believe it or not some celebrities actually follow back their most favorite fans: Nicki Minaj, Chrissy Teigen, and many others. Be persistent, witty, and use humor to draw your favorite celebrity’s attention. Getting the elusive follow back is definitely not easy, but surely is possible. Here are some key tips:

asking directly to follow you back is a huge no-no;
ask something they will want to answer;
be polite and respectful;
make sure you’re trying in the right time;
tag the celebrity on your posts;
make sure your account looks presentable;
use some funny tweets for your favorite celebrity;
do not spam.

These tips also apply in case you want to get the celebrity to notice you at or after the concert. Support them by buying their brand clothes or make something yourself. Celebrities are also people, and often desperately need to be treated pretty much ordinary. The rules of drawing a celebrity’s attention are basically the same as those of trying to attract an ordinary person you like.
