[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Everyone needs social media growth, but few are able to crack it and grow out of it. Here’s how to get more followers and better engagement.
FOCUS ON QUALITY ENGAGEMENT
With the launch of Instagram’s new algorithm, it has become crucial for accounts to focus on their engagement. Under the new algorithm, content with poor engagement is shown less frequently. If your content is not engaging, it is not doing its job and you need to change something.
LISTEN FOR FEEDBACK
As you start testing content ideas, listen to your audience and pay attention to the comments on each post. Making personal touches, especially in the beginning, can help you gain solid growth traction.
Taking time to like and reply to comments shows people that their engagement matters to you. Now, next time you post content, they are more likely to engage with your account again. Take the time to build a strong relationship with your followers because their engagement will cause more people to be exposed to it, and this can lead to a snowball effect in terms of growth.
STAY SPECIFIC TO YOUR BRAND
One should know what content styles and Instagram posts his company’s audience wants to see, and which ones will get the best engagement. Unless you truly know your audience, you will never find success in any aspect of your business.
IDENTIFY PRIME POSTING TIMES
Statistically, there are peak times when more Instagram users are online than others. Posting during these times leads to better engagement, since more people will immediately see your post. Savvy people recognize these engagement prime times by testing relentlessly; helping their posts hit the mark every time.
Begin experimenting with different posting times until you start to see a pattern emerge, identifying your content prime times.
ALWAYS THINK OF YOUR FOLLOWERS
Brands should never post content that their audience might not like. Doing so will push away followers and waste all the time and money it took to attract them in the first place.
BE CONSISTENT
At the end of the day, Instagram growth requires content to be posted on a regular schedule and at optimal times for engagement. The competition on Instagram is at an all-time high, and there is no sign of it slowing down. If you aren’t consistent with your posting, don’t expect much growth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
