Instagram Growth Marketing

If you want to grow, you can't post abstract, unrelated things on one page. It confuses your followers & ruins the algorithm ranking.

Follow these steps:

• Find what you like most.
• Identify customers' problems and needs.
• Research your competition.
• Define your account's purpose.
• Test your product or service.

Once your profile is optimized, you need to engage with creators related to your niche using this formula:

• Pick 10 accounts in your niche that already have the audience you want.
• Go to their profiles, turn on notifications, and track their behavior.
• $0.02 cents technique: Leave a valuable comment, a like, a share, a save, a story share, or a comment reply.
• Repeat this 3-4 times per day. The secret is to provide real value and support over the long term.
• Apply the same strategy for relevant hashtags.

Result: Over 3,000 connections by the end of the month.

The key to growth is learning to create high-value carousels. Steal this 10-slide template:

• Slide 1 Catchy Headline
  E.g., "How to...", "Don't...", "Steal my...", use numbers.
• Slide 2 Intro to your story
  E.g., "Want to achieve X result" or "Are you struggling with..."
• Slide 3-7 Share details
  Share actionable steps and unique formulas.
• Slide 8-9 Share a recap
  Sum up all details or share bonus tips.
• Slide 10 Call to Action
  E.g., "Follow for more", "Save for later".

Posting when your audience is asleep kills organic reach. Find your golden hour:

1. Go to Insights > Followers on your professional dashboard.
2. Scroll to the end to find the Most Active Times chart.
3. Post 1 hour before the peak active hour to catch the rising wave of users.

• Use tools like hashtagstack.com to research.
• Create 4-5 distinct sets of hashtags and A/B test them every week.
• Ensure every hashtag is highly relevant to the specific post.
• Pro Tip: Pick hashtags where the "Top Posts" have roughly the same number of likes as your posts (or fewer) so you can actually rank.
• Analyze analytics after a few weeks to stick with what works.

Engage 1 Hour per day:

• 15 min: Engage with big creators in the comments.
• 15 min: Reply to your own comments & DMs.
• 15 min: Engage with small creators in your niche.
