Professional Instagram, ask me anything

Unfortunately that’s not helping me man.

I’m not sure if you read the part when I said hashtags and location stickers aren’t helping account at this time because those 2 things are for organic reach outside of your own following. Those accounts are NOT who I’m trying to reach.

I am trying to reach people who are ALREADY following me. Again, I have 28.1k followers and rising each day but yet only 100-200 views per story per day.

Just by looking at these numbers you can see that something isnt adding up. One could suggest that maybe my followers have decided to mute my stories. But I dont believe that to be the case as I still get new followers each and everyday and I find it hard to believe that they all mute my stories shortly after following me.

no brother i read that part, but i should have cleared up something…
after some algorithm changes in instagram in the past year, your posts and stories will show up to small amount of your followers first, if your followers interacted with your content with some % that IG algorithm count, your other followers will start to see it since it will rank up in your followers news feed, hashtag feed, explore feed… that’s why i said to keep up with the hashtags and locations because ( a lot of your followers followed you through ## and location that you used and they also follow, right?? using them will make it upper in there feed too) and using hashtag will support that %% so more of your followers can see your content. you can look this info up if you questioning it but it is true…
.
everything i have told you to do is ways to grow your views and likes organically, to reach out to more people, in your followers and out.

Understood, but my story views literally have not gone over 200 per story all year. It doesnt matter how many people interact with my polls or slider stickers. The results remain the same.

I put out a story with a poll 2 days ago and I had 70 people interact with it, yet my views still stayed within the 120 range before the 24hr time limit.

I’ve used a specific hashtag in my stories before and I honestly never get reach through any of them. Its literally just a pointless sticker plastered on which ever story post I choose to put it on. This screenshot is from my story posts from yesterday. It’s almost like Instagram put a cap on how many story views my account can reach per day or something. It’s super unfair smh

well yes, they did put a cap, because there is a lot of fake accounts and bots out there… if you looked it up you will see that people started to notice that, but let me tell you something, i understand its frustrating to get low views but if you get 1k view and only 70 who interacted with your content would you like that? i think the power in how many active people you got.
but anyway, i need you to be patient, nothing changes overnight…
please do this 3 days in a row ( add 1 hashtag sticker and 3 other text hashtags on 2-3 stories and just sticker on the others + location) and send me the statistics.
hashtags must be from 50k-1mil
i will see check them out for you

can you tell me more, please?
do you use bots? engagement groups? too many likes? too many comments? too many hashtags?? over-posting? logged from more than a device? let me know any changes you make before you get that action block.

Correct me if I’m wrong… But instagram really started cutting down and began removing mass viewers and fake accounts giving out fake engagement from the platform in spring of 2019. The mass story black hat trick came from folks trying to get around Instagram’s stricter rules on automation bots and the new improved algorithm.

My account was banned in November of 2018 This is months before all of those events of bocking mass viewers happened with the platform.

So the placement of events does not match with your current theory that my account was of the many accounts targeted with mass story viewers.

Also…I honestly do not believe the hashtags will help me reach the accounts that are already following me.

What they will do (most likely) is help me reach accounts that arent following me already. (And that’s depending on if they even work on the specific story I post it on)

I wish we could share my username on here…but then again all you have to do is use the username I chose for this website. Yiu should be able to easily find my largest account.

newbie question, what exactly is EB and AC (related to blocks)?

1- instagram started that in late Feb 2019 ( i remember that because i got some troubles back then with some clients and accounts)
2- instagram started cutting down fake accounts, suspicious accounts, anything looks not very human wise action, or at least its not human to the algorithm, and kept growing it more and more up until now, the past 2-3 months they start with story cutting and blocks, etc…
3- i didn’t say any theory, this is worldwide on all accounts!! you can see famous people on IG getting the same results, some people dropped from 1mil view to 300k-400k view and some are around what they used to get,
4- I do believe in that and will make you reach more, but it’s totally up to you, you can look and search for yourself and tell me if you got something i didn’t mention, i would be more than happy to learn if there were other ways.
5- ok will try to check it out

Hey Arun, I really can’t help you with that bro, this is more of a personal thing, you have to be in a niche you familiar with, something you know, you love, you passionate about, and i can’t tell you to do this or that…
but i can give you this the most 3 niches that are popular and a lot of people follow ( Health or fitness - business or LuxuryLifestyle - Travel) i might add animals but am not that sure i worked with this 3 and they are great worldwide…
hope that can help you or give you a hint for something good.

ok if this an old account, there might be something with the security of the account, try to change the password, if it didn’t work Log out, delete the password and delete the app and cache from your phone ( you can google this). if you did all of this and still not working, your IP must be casing this!! yea i know silly but it is true!!
if this is a new account you have to wait for some time without logging in and try to warm up your account with a post and some like max 10-20 action per day and grow it each day

2 month old account about 9k followers .
I changed the password,im actually resting the account and not doing any actions and see if it works

one this is a great move to rest your account
that kind of growth is good but for IG is not totally normal, that might be the reason i hope not tho.
did you use any bots like Jarvee, or paid ads?

No nothing organic growth and manually.After resting for 3 days im gonna try and post today btw growth has not stopped even after the block

hi, do some hashtag research and use more of them, your bio is not attractive, don’t use engagement groups for comments cuz it looks like you do, try to make a theme for your page it looks random. and maybe post more!! about 4 years account and have 50 posts!! i won’t expect to have much of engagement on a page that has 50 posts in 4 years.

Hey man! I wanted to ask a question about post reach. I have 86k IG followers - I’m a fashion content creator. Also, I create my own content.

I used F/UF for 2 years and i stop this 8 months ago and I’ve been growing 50-200 followers daily organically through hashtags.

Looking through my content in the last 3 months. Almost 60-80% of people who saw the posts were not following me - these stats are almost repetitive in all of my posts. Example of insight that did well:

Content posted 24 November:

Likes: 7,200
Shares: 127
Saves: 1,418
88% werent following you

Reach: 124,839
Hashtags: 57,312
From Home: 18,097
From Explore: 5,581
From Other 61,171

Basically I’m surviving because of hashtags. What is “Reach from Other”? Why more reach through hashtags and not Explore? Why only 18k reach through Home? Is my account badly affected due to F/UF? Should I make a new account and start all over again?

Thank you for your time!

Wow! I’ve doing the same niche! I think my biggest mistake was to use like exchange. My organic engagement has dropped by 70-80% now.

Now, I’m doing hashtag research and I don’t seem to be able to find good ones to get same engagement as you do.
