I have a small account at about 800 followers. I’m getting a solid amount of views and likes, usually 5,000 views and I average 700 likes. However I noticed I’m barely getting any new followers.I have a call to action in my caption to follow the account but that’s about it. I’m sort of stumped, my posts are doing great with way more likes,views,comments then expected but they just aren’t converting to followers. It’s also worth mentioning that the account is a feature account basically re-posting other content.
It would help if you had more social proof (at least 1000 followers and not following too many accounts)
Are you doing any other actions with the account? other than posting, like following/unfollowing other users or liking their posts, viewing their stories…etc?
Hey, I’m posting three times a day, replying to comments, and occasionally I’ll follow someone if they like more than a few of my posts and I notice it. I actually recently made a change that helped me hugely and i’m not really having this problem anymore. By moving my call to action to follow the account to the second line of the caption I have seen great growth. I gained 45 followers in one day and my average follows a day jumped to 20 after fixing my captions.
Do you mean that you write some text in the fist line and next line you add the account to follow?
If this the case…you really need more data and testing to be sure that the change was caused by that, most of the accounts do that, also do call to action more than one time, 3 is the best, psycologists recommend it
well that’s interesting, can you please try different stuff like @IGsocialize said and make sure that that change of growth is caused by moving call to action to the second line.
Also, i think that you should go a little more deeper to the Follow/unfollow method.
Thanks for the advice, I will try to mix up my caption strategies and see how they work. And by fixing the captions I meant adding “Follow @myaccount for the best surfing content” in the 2nd line under my initial text in the caption. After that on the third line I have “Tag a Friend that needs to see this” but I will try repeating the “Follow @myaccount for the best surfing content” three times.
