5 THINGS I DIDNT DO TO GROW MY FOLLOWING ONLINE

5 THINGS I DIDNT DO TO GROW MY FOLLOWING ON INSTAGRAM

But first… Comment 'IG’ and I'll send you my free Instagram growth guide packed with my tips and tricks for growing organically 💗

Only post Reels- Reels are a great way to grow and get seen by new followers, but they are not very good when it comes to keeping your audience engaged and retaining followers. Carousel posts and regular pictures are better for that.

Only posting whenever I feel like it- larger accounts can get away with us, but when you’re trying to grow on Instagram, posting consistently is your best friend. Do you want to make sure that you’re constantly getting seen and that your audience remembers why they followed you.

DM asking for follows- this is the same as follow for follow or any of those strategies. It’s a terrible way to grow and it doesn’t work and I can go on and on about why I don’t recommend you do this.

Joining engagement/ “support” groups- this may sound like a great idea on paper because you basically have guaranteed engagement, but it is terrible for long-term growth. I literally have a whole 10 minute video explaining why this is a bad idea.

Focus only on trends/ trending audio- trends are a great way to keep your content fresh and attract new eyes, but if you’re content doesn’t provide any value besides trends… People are going to Unfollow just as quickly as they followed you because you aren’t providing them with any real value.

... Read moreGrowing your following on Instagram is crucial for expanding your brand's reach and engagement. Many aspiring influencers and businesses make common mistakes that can hinder their growth. Here are some essential tips to consider: 1. **Diverse Content Types**: While Reels are gaining popularity, it's essential to blend them with high-quality images and carousel posts to maintain follower interest. Regular picture posts can create a more engaging feed and provide different ways to connect with your audience. 2. **Consistency is Key**: Create a posting schedule to boost visibility and engagement. Regular updates help keep your audience engaged and enhance recall. Consistent posting instills trust and shows dedication. 3. **Avoid Gimmicky Follow Strategies**: Strategies like DM'ing users to ask for follows or joining follow-for-follow schemes are ineffective. They lead to temporary gains and could damage your reputation, leading to higher unfollows. 4. **Steer Clear of Engagement Groups**: These groups often promise guaranteed likes and comments but can lead to a false sense of engagement. Instead, focus on fostering genuine interactions with your followers, which can lead to organic growth. 5. **Substance over Trends**: Following trends is great for visibility but make sure your content delivers real value. Posts that educate, inspire, or entertain will encourage followers to stick around long-term, rather than just jumping on fleeting trends. Remember, building a loyal audience takes time and effort. Prioritize authentic connections and diverse, meaningful content to see real growth. For more tips on Instagram growth strategies, check out our free resources!
