I was hoping to get some thoughts on this topic. I have often thought to myself, that maybe if I started a new account with no followers etc. and utilised the knowledge I have now, would this be of any benefit.
I have an account which I have grown to 5k followers (small compared to you pros) but I have a ton of inactive followers from my dodgy follow/unfollow tactics I used at the start (bad sources etc).
I am also very dubious about whether or not I have some sort of restriction on my account, for example I posted today and although my insights said I got hashtag impressions, I was not present in the top section at all (99% of the time I am).
Would there be a benefit from starting from scratch, or would it be better for me to say, grow up to 10k then cull all the inactive followers?
Am i just being paranoid?
Please share your thoughts and experiences as I know a lot of other have these same thoughts.
Do you have time to operate more than 1 Instagram account at a time? If you do, why not just start 1 or 2 new Instagram accounts and grow them using the knowledge you now have, while keeping your current account up and running?
Yeah this is a good point. I guess the part of me that feels i should start over splits into two. 1 part thinking start over and don’t use any of the growth methods and the other part thinks start over but use the growth methods with the knowledge I now have. Ultimately the end goal would be to have more engaging followers, but could my existing account be better utilised to have better engagement?? We culling the inactive members and better sourcing for follow/unfollow be better than starting over. SO MANY QUESTIONS! My BPD brain cannot cope haha.
This instagram larke is a conundrum, wish I knew someone that worked there that could tell me all the secrets haha.
I think what I will do for now is run a test for creating a new account for my modelling and see how i get on utilising growth techniques. In that case i could document my journey and post it here for new comers…
Hi @Alexnvo . Please explain what you mean by: “Low engagement on a new account multiplies later when bigger”. Are you referring to my current account or if i was to create a new one?
