for reels just follow the trends, i've had a few of mine blow up bc i did stuff trending! reels is the way to go by a long shot, main posts hashtags don't get as much reach as they used to like how they did in 2020!
Thanks for this! How do you keep up with trends on Instagram?
i flip through instagram reels sometimes if im wanting to make a video, look at the audio tht was used, i save a lot of the audios just so i can remember to do the trends at a later time but i do most of the trends to my dog! which animals tend to do well
Interesting
But does vitality help with the overall growth and engagement of your account?
for me it hasn't tbh, if the quality is good the quantity doesn't matter as much, quality > quantity!
That's my overall goal tbh. Have consistent growth if I can
posting more will definitely help you grow more for sure, 1 reel a day would b the best but sometimes u don't have the time to post tht much or make tht many videos which is totally okay, just make sure the quantity isn't tainting the quality and you'll b good!
I heard photos are back on Instagram. Ever since I went back to posting photos my reach and engagement have been high. Reels have not been the same like it used to been. Since it's more competitive my views have tanked so bad...if I get 1k views in a day or 2 I'm lucky...they do gain more traction within a few days and weeks but slowly.
I'VE NOTICED THIS TOO DAM
Yup...ever since the end of July and beginning of August 2022 I noticed my views have drastically dropped out of nowhere
Within 3 hours, I remember I got 3-5k views easily then it eventually went past 10k. Now not even close to those numbers.
I've done a lot of research...we can do everything right and IG still won't push our content out enough.
@miniflow_ just got to ride the wave and hope they improve their algo. Least photos are back!
Chad mentality!!!
@miniflow_ Haha thank you! Even with high engagement IG still doesn't push our content out enough and it's killing bigger creators too. I have a Fitness page and have been running it for 3 years.
Dam 💪
@miniflow_ Worked too hard on my IG page and don't want to quit. Already blessed and thankful for the opportunities I've gotten with brands. So with this tough time I decided to give Tiktok another try and I'm actually seeing growth and results.
@asc14 Yeah man tiktok is really helping people fr
@miniflow_ Totally...way more exposure than what IG is doing
I'm definitely seeing big growth on tiktok than ANY other platform. Also gave youtube shorts a try. I thought that shit would get 2 views it's doing 100+
Like almost anyone or everyone can see your Tiktok. Just got to find what works and double down. For the past 2 months of consistently posting I've seen way more views, likes and followers than I did the past year. 😂😂😂
Rly? I've been contemplating on trying YouTube Shorts..is it worth a try?
What's there to loose
mine do pretty good but they may also depend on follower count
@racheydachey Yes! IG also makes changes even when we don't even know it and it affects on how well our posts does
Hi ! Do you think there is an hour to post on instagram? Because everytime I post, I lose big amount of followers.
It's a common issue with instagram tbh don't worry!
Yesss omg!
Timing is important when posting. Want to make sure to post when most of your followers are active so they can engage with it right away and so IG pushed out your content more.
But at this point IG is still not giving everyone the push and reach they deserve. We can do everything right and it won't be enough.
Okay thank you 😊
Noticed too yeah
you need to do what you love
what would you like to do
I've noticed now that my content is doing a lot better post photos in the morning!!
Thanks
What’s your Instagram and timezone. I want to follow
It's on my profile!
Done!
Is this a coincidence cuz my reels blow up in morning
And posts too
Yeah!
Something weird with Instagram algorithm
My post did good with arranged tags, Post credit and no location.
While the other one didn't bcs of no location , not arranged tags and no credits.
Instagram is weird
Instead if zuck fixing instagram for creators, he's buying into banning it
Bro what the heck happened
My one reel had 1 hour 38 mins watch time with only 539 views and duration is just 49 secs
Oooof that's roughhh
And now it's my most viewed reel . Instagram just weird
Lmaooooo
I own @rx7community and the most important thing for growth on Instagram has to be consistency and the quality of your content. If your posting is consistent and your quality is high you are almost guaranteed to see results if you don't you have to think about wheter or not your content is really that high of a quality
Another big thing is community building hence the name rx7community. Ive managed to build up a community of people who love this car. You can achieve this by interacting a lot with your audience so you build some loyal fans. You will be surprised how people react once you react on your dms if you have a large following. One guy I replied to send a message one year after that reply saying I still can't believe you replied. So can you see why just interacting with your coommunity is one of the most powerfull tools you have.
Yeah algorithm is giving avg good views when I am posting consistently
Earlier avg views on reel was 50-70 now it's 200 to 400
