Kicksta for Freelancers

Kicksta helps freelancers turn Instagram into a steady source of clients. It reaches people and businesses who already follow accounts in your field, so your work gets in front of potential clients.

Written by Managers

What freelancers get

  • More clients from your niche: reach people who already hire or follow work like yours.

  • A stronger portfolio presence: a relevant following that adds credibility when clients check your profile.

  • Hours saved every week: Kicksta handles the daily growth work instead of manual outreach.

How to set up Kicksta as a freelancer

1. Add similar accounts
On the Targeting page, add accounts your potential clients follow. That could be other freelancers in your field, studios, agencies or industry pages. Add at least 3.

2. Add hashtags
Add hashtags your clients use or follow, such as #weddingphotographer or #brandingdesign.

3. Set your audience filters
Choose interests that match your work, such as Photography, Art & design or Business. If your clients are mostly companies, leave Skip business accounts turned off.

4. Train your ideal follower
On the AI training page, swipe yes on profiles that look like your clients and no on the rest.
​

Example setup

A wedding photographer might use:

  • Similar accounts: wedding venues, planners and other wedding photographers

  • Hashtags: #weddingphotographer, #weddingvenue

  • Interests: Photography, Art & design

Tips for freelancers

  • Show your best work first. Visitors decide quickly, so keep your strongest projects at the top of your profile.

  • Make it easy to hire you. Add your services and a contact link to your bio.

  • Check Analytics weekly. See which sources bring the most followers and add more like them.
