Growing on Instagram is tough. Algorithms keep changing, trends come and go — and even if your content is great, your reach might still be low.
I found one simple strategy that actually worked: spend 10 minutes engaging with others before and after you post. Like, comment, reply to stories, or follow niche pages.
This tells Instagram that you’re active and connected in your niche. In return, your content gets more visibility. It’s a small effort, but if you’re posting every day or even a few times a week, it can really add up.
Also, don’t forget: good visuals and strong captions still matter. But engagement — the genuine kind — creates a two-way street. People notice when you show up.
So next time you post something, don’t just drop and ghost. Be active. Be social. Instagram is still social media, after all.
