How to Grow Your Instagram Account

In this video, the speaker shares 15 Evergreen principles that will help you grow your account faster on Instagram and build an audience.

Videos vs Images

Videos outperform images, but a good image can still do well.

Educational accounts can perform well with images because of the strong hook of information provided.

E-commerce brands or comedians may find it harder to perform well with images.

Try both videos and images to see what works best for your personality, skill set, and niche.

Content Consumption Habits

85% of Instagram users consume content without sound.

Use subtitles in your videos to capture attention while scrolling through the reels tab or home feed.

Content should fit into one of four buckets: entertainment, education, inspiration, or thought-provoking.

Open every piece of content with a strong and powerful hook.

Consistency is Key

Consistency is key when it comes to posting on Instagram.

Post at least once per day if possible.

Use insights to determine the best time to post for your audience.

Engagement Strategies

Engage with other accounts in your niche by liking and commenting on their posts.

Use hashtags strategically by researching popular hashtags in your niche and using them in your posts.

Create shareable content that encourages others to tag their friends or repost your content.

Building Relationships

Building relationships with your followers is important for growth.

Respond to comments and DMs in a timely manner.

Use Instagram stories to give your audience a behind-the-scenes look at your life or business.

Collaborations

Collaborate with other accounts in your niche to reach new audiences.

Host giveaways or contests with other accounts to increase engagement and reach.

Call-to-Action

Include a call-to-action in every post, such as asking followers to like, comment, or share.

Use Instagram's features, such as polls and questions, to encourage engagement.

Analytics

Use Instagram's analytics tools to track the performance of your posts and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Pay attention to metrics such as reach, impressions, and engagement rate.

Instagram Growth Tips

Hashtags and Posting Frequency

Do hashtag research once a month and find 5 to 15 relevant hashtags to include in your caption.

Post a minimum of four times a week for optimum growth.

Creating Systems and Posting Time

Post 30 to 60 minutes before your audience is most active on Instagram. Find this time by checking your insights.

Broadcast Channel and Community Building

Use the broadcast channel to share thoughts, opinions, funny stuff, things you learn, etc., and build up more of a community.

Tips for Growing and Monetizing Your Instagram Audience

In this section, the speaker provides tips on how to grow and monetize your audience on Instagram.

Appeal to New Audiences

To grow your audience, you need to appeal to people who don't yet know who you are.

Imagine that every piece of content is the first time someone will see your profile.

Check for Shadow Banning

Shadow banning happens when you break community or recommendation guidelines.

Avoid violent, graphic, or explicit content at all costs.

Check if you've been shadow banned by going into your settings and clicking on "account status."

Use Notes as Short Form Broadcasts

Notes are a new feature similar to tweets but only shown to people who follow you back.

Throw out random notes that engage your friends and lead to more conversations.

Invest in Improving Your Content Before Paid Ads

In this section, the speaker emphasizes investing in improving content before considering paid ads as a way of growing an audience.

Improve Your Content Quality

Investing in courses can help improve skills like graphic design or video editing.

Consider investing in better equipment like cameras, lighting, and microphones.

Hiring a studio can also help create high-quality content.

Better Organic Reach Leads to Better Ad Results

Improving content quality leads to better organic reach.

Paid ads will get much better results if they're run on improved content rather than original content.

Optimize for Search with Keywords

In this section, the speaker discusses optimizing Instagram profiles for search using keywords.

Choose Relevant Keywords

Come up with 5 or 6 keywords that describe your niche and what people might be searching for.

Use these keywords in your name, bio, and captions to increase the chances of being recommended by Instagram.

Passive Growth with Evergreen Keywords

Having relevant keywords in your profile can lead to passive growth as people search for those terms every day.

Engage on Other People's Content

DM new followers and reach out to creators in your niche who post interesting content.

Engage with other people's content by commenting and liking their posts.
