We are all on a journey to grow on Instagram, and let's be honest, there are so many tips and tricks out there!
At the end of the day, the aim is to build a following of people that are your ideal followers, that will advocate for your business and turn into clients.
Let's get into the 5 things you can do TODAY to crank up your Instagram:
1️⃣ Create a reels idea bank
We have heard and seen how reels are helping accounts reach a bigger audience. Instagram has made it clear that it favours reels and that it is here to stay!
You must integrate reels into your social media strategies if you want to grow.
What has helped me crank up the output of reels is creating a reels idea bank. I use my notes on my phone where I write down any reels ideas I might have, what song I want to use (always save the audio), how I want to use the sound to educate or entertain my audience, and what I want to be doing in this reel (pointing, lip singing, dancing, transformation).
2️⃣ Let your stories expire
The story hack that I love using is to let my stories expire. By doing this, I can ensure that the first story I post for the new day has an interactive feature (Question box | a Quiz | a Poll). This will help tell the algorithm that people are engaging with your post and that it should be shown to more people. This will then allow the following stories to get higher views as well.
3️⃣ Get serious about Instagram search
Instagram is gearing up to improve the search option on the platform. This will help people find new content related to a specific keyword or for you to reach a new audience.
This is when I would recommend you do keyword research and find words relevant to your niche, your content, and your audience.
Use these keywords in your caption and your bio.
4️⃣ Show your face!
It is time for you to show the face behind the brand. I know so many of you might be like "HELL NO".
I am not saying you have to do lives (unless you love it), but show your face in your stories and on your feed. Use a photo of you on your stories with a list of what you achieved for the day or what you have on your to-do list.
If you are comfortable, pre-record some stories sharing a quick tip.
The moment you start sharing your face on your social media platforms your audience will build a stronger connection with your brand.
5️⃣ Build true connections with your advocates
We all have a group of followers that will always like your post, comment on your post, watch your stories, love leaving comments, and send you DMs.
These followers are your advocates, they are essential to your growth on Instagram. They will be talking about your content with others, sharing your content with their followers and this will help drive new followers to your account.
You just need to ensure you keep building these relationships with them.
I would love to know which of these tips are new to you.
