Think of a product first, create it and then start your Instagram
I'm afraid I started the wrong way. Because it took almost one year for my product to be ready, back then, my plan was to start IG to gain all these followers for my specific niche, and then in future, insert my products occasionally into my feed. But then again, when I eventually launch officially, I won't be changing the content much, so maybe it won't have a big impact on me. The idea is "build an audience first, then market the product to them".
mentioning bigger accounts
Does this have any effect? Tbh, from my heavy usage of IG this one year, I can honestly say most of these bigger accounts (100k and above) don't give a rat's a$$, unless you're their personal friend in real life or something.
Timing
is of course very important- I read that if you don't post at a time, when your followers are awake and free to react, then your post won't get a high traction and won't be featured on the feed page of most of your followers, because Instagram "thinks" you may be a bot and the more followers you have and less reaction on your posts, the worse the algorithm is to your account.
Don't quite understand this paragraph. Do you mean we should post consistently at the same time each time?
Soon you can start using bigger accounts for shout outs (paid)
Have you tried this before? If so, mind sharing how much their rates are? e.g: account with 20K followers charge US$50 for 1 shoutout?
Would you memorise it by reading the captions
"Just the cactuses in my room- a memory from my ex girlfriend."
or...
"A live pic of me and my girlfriends chilling, periods synced and not shaving for a week."
or a caption like
"Aren't they beautiful"?
Do you think people still read captions, or just skip over after looking at the image? I always have this idea people nowadays don't have the time to read anymore, in this fast-pace society.
Btw, that 4th line above is funny and epic AF lol
I always admire everyone who can come up with such witty comments. It's like a natural to them.
Thanks for your valuable insight!
