Instagram usually shows a new post to about 20% of your followers first. If that first 20% engage quickly, IG shows the post to more people. If they don’t, it quietly dies. So your job is to get fast engagement from the right people. Signals the algorithm likes: - Comments on your post - People share it with others - People save your post - Reels watched all the way through - People visit your profile after seeing the post 3-step action plan to get more reach: 1️⃣ Post something that actually helps your audience. Make it useful. Solve one small problem parents care about (separation anxiety, making friends, easy practice at home). 2️⃣ Use a clear CTA that invites action. 3️⃣ Be active for 10–15 minutes after you post. Reply to every comment, ask follow-up questions, and like replies. Early replies = early engagement = more reach. Caption starters you can copy - “Worried your child will struggle with separation on the first day? Here are 3 small things to try before class.” - “Parents: want a simple warm-up your child can do at home? Save this and try it tonight.” - “Tag a friend if you’d bring your little one to a free trial - they’ll thank you later.” Want more engagement ideas? Comment ME, and I'll send it to you 👇

I'm working on an exciting project that will help dance studio owners fill their preschool classes consistently. Anyone excited? 🤩

Drum roll please... 🥁 All the images in my post from yesterday were created by AI, and the current winner is the cartoon image (by a lot). You can check that post out here: >> An AI Guessing Game << My next problem (the best problem to have) is that all the classes for 2-5 year olds are full with 25 people on waitlists... and there are only 10 spots left in the classes for 5-7 year olds. With 4 weeks still to go before classes start for 2026, it's time to re-jig the campaign to target kids 8+ years of age AND to hit the 'new year, new me' for adult classes 🤩

Below are 6 images from an ad campaign that I am running for a dance school in Australia at the moment... which ones do you think are images generated by AI? Which one do you think is performing the best?
