The CEO of IG recently did a reel sharing how to grow on Instagram TODAY. I've been testing his advice since March 23 and it actually worked! I grew 1500 followers. Here's the gist for ORGANIC growth:
Post - 3 times minimum a week to keep your account "active" but you most like will lose followers
Post - 1x a day and you'll gain followers but will lose as well so slow growth to break even.
Post - 10x a week and you'll see steady growth compound over time
I did 10-14 posts a week for almost a month and I grew net 1500 followers. I lost about 400 so I gained (technically) almost $2k. This is on my hollydays_chicago account. I have 40K followers so the growth is a little more obviously, but as a small creator page, this could translate to 100 or so then continue to gain.
I found this graphic from an account I love @Kristina.Social and I think it's a great framework to challenge yourself!
Who's trying this and let me know how it goes. Commit for 30-60 days before you give up and watch what happens!
