 Hey guys, how's it going? My name is Jonathan. Today I'm going to be sharing you a few tips on how to grow your Instagram organically despite its algorithm change back in May. All right guys, so I just have a few points here that I've written down on basically how you can optimize your Instagram page for growth. So even if you're not a photographer, it's fine. These are certain things that you can just implement into your Instagram account so that you don't get banned, you don't do any bots, you don't do anything shady and you just be a normal Instagram account that is just growing organically. Number one would be in your descriptions, always ask questions. And the reason for that is when you're asking your audience's questions, there is room for your following and the people who actually see your post to engage with your post, right? They actually comment on it. So if people are commenting on it, it's a numbers game to algorithm. So if Instagram sees your post getting a lot of comments in the first like five minutes or so, it will basically bump that up and make that post come onto the explore page and basically increase the reach of that post. Okay, you can supplement that with emojis as well because apparently Facebook and Instagram is all about the emoji culture. So having colors in your description would really, really aid your audiences in reading and being engaged with your description. Number two would be writing long captions, right? Just be a normal human being. It's your, it's your account, long captions, every, there's the dot, dot, dot. So if people are clicking on them, right, that's another algorithm signal to Instagram that people are clicking through. So the actual rates will be higher. The third thing would be you want to be recycling your hashtags. So if you're really like being aggressive to grow your account, right, not just for some personal use. So you want to have a good set of around seven to eight hashtags of worth 20 to 25 hashtags each. So 140 hashtags ready to go. So you can recycle them. Every time you post, right, you just recycle a few of them so that you are not using the same hashtag over and over again. That is because Instagram has penalized people for reusing the same hashtags over and over again, because they kind of see it as spam and a lot of bosses use the same hashtags all the time. So in a sense they're punishing people because there are people in the system who are abusing the system and that's not your fault. It's just something that you, you want to really have like in your notepad, you just have a few like a few hundred hashtags a day. You're ready to go and every single time you post, you just post a set, set, set. Next thing would be it's very important to comment and like back on your post, right? So if people are liking a page, people are especially commenting, right? You should try to reply back to their post because it shows Instagram that you're engaged, right? Because bosses, even if people engage with your post, right, they don't generally engage back. They don't comment back. So by you engaging back with your comments, right, or having a conversation basically in your chat, it's signaling to Instagram that there is something going on. It's something worthwhile of your account, right? The last thing and the last tip would be every time Instagram introduces a new feature, just try to use it, right? Don't, don't force yourself to use it. Of course, Instagram is honestly just to have fun, right? So use your stories, use your IGTV to your advantage to really grow your Instagram account because Instagram favors people who are using their new platforms because whenever their new features are coming out, it signals to them that it's that they're doing something right and they like that their new features are being used all the time. All right. So these are just a few tips that you can use to grow your Instagram organically. And it's really, really hard work unless you're running paid ads, right? But even if you're running paid ads, you want to supplement it with this to really optimize and increase your following over time, even if it's for a business page, like you're selling e-com or something or it's just your personal branding stuff. With all of this, I'm assuming you already have engaging content in a sense that it could be funny. It could be anything personal. It could be like your professional photos or whatever. And all these things have to really come together and to show Instagram that your account is something like worth clicking and worth putting on the explore page so that you're really getting the reach that a lot of other people are getting based on the engagement they're getting.
