Building a new instagram account.

If you’re aiming for organic growth on a fresh IG account, especially in the A&R space, focus on short-form video , reels still offer the best reach without paid ads.
Post consistently, use trending audio (even low-key ones), and tie your content to artist discovery or behind-the-scenes stuff.
It hits well with both fans and industry types.
Don’t neglect collabs either ,even micro-creators in your niche can boost early visibility way more than hashtags or SEO tweaks.

If you hit hard with new account there may be chances of shadow ban so either warm up the account slowly or get an old instagram account to get started. But with a new Instagram its difficult to hit hard these days
 
You can try hosting a weekly giveaway, ask followers to tag two friends and follow your account for a chance to win an exclusive track or merch. It boosts reach and brings real music fans to your page.

Nice! Can you point me in a direction to where I can get insights+resources on making faceless content?
 
High image quality, good content, and you need to interact with many other users.

Absolutely, faceless content works really well right now, especially on platforms like IG Reels and TikTok. A lot of creators in the AI, finance, and storytelling niches are growing fast without ever showing their face.

Here’s what tends to work best:
– Watch what theme pages in your niche are doing, voiceovers over B-roll, commentary clips, or text-based stories
– Use tools like CapCut (tons of templates), Pictory for auto-editing, and ElevenLabs or similar for clean voiceovers
– Reddit’s r/FacelessMarketing and some BHW threads in the Social Media section also drop useful setups and content angles

The key is to find a repeatable style, something like “voiceover + captions + short clips” that you can keep scaling. Add value or tell a story, and the format usually takes care of the rest.
 
What you can do is like other users' posts that follow other pages that post similar content as you. Make sure to have certain like limits to help keep the account safe.
 
I've built organic followers for my own Instagram page before, and I can suggest a strategy: using Reels, the reach is incredible
 
If you’re trying to grow your A&R’s Instagram organically, the best way is to post regular, high-quality content like behind-the-scenes clips, artist discoveries, and music tips, use good niche hashtags, and stay active by commenting and DMing other artists or pages. Reels are super powerful right now, so post those often, and try to collab with smaller artists to tap into their audience too. Just be consistent and make the page feel real and personal — that’s what makes people follow and stick around.
 
Post quality content often, show behind-the-scenes stuff, use the right hashtags, and engage with followers daily. Collab with artists too.
 
Post behind-the-scenes reels, scouting clips, and use trending audio. Engage by commenting on smaller artist pages, and use polls or Q&As in stories to boost interaction. Collaborating with small music pages can also help grow faster.
 
Im looking to build an organic following for my A&Rs new instagram account what is the best method to do this?
I have an account with 753,000 followers that I built organically. If I had to start from scratch, I’d tell you that the best thing you can do is start with market research.


Figure out who your content is for, and then analyze your competitors what kind of posts are they sharing?
Read the comments on those posts to see what people are asking for and what kind of content they respond to best.


Sometimes, I’ve seen accounts in your niche post super polished, highly edited videos but it turns out the audience prefers more raw, organic content.
I’ve also seen accounts where followers love collaborations, or they love covers of trending songs, especially from movies or viral moments.


So the idea is to identify what’s working for others, why it’s working, and then start running small tests that mix that proven content style with your own ideas.
The goal is to develop a presence that feels original and authentic to you.


You should also check whether your audience is interested in:


  • Artist clips
  • Behind-the-scenes content
  • Industry news

If so, you can position yourself as a thought leader in the space not just someone who showcases talent, but someone who’s great at spotting and developing new talent.


That’s how you build credibility as an A&R and grow a following that actually values what you share.
 
With consistency and perseverance, you'll achieve your goal soon.
 
If it’s for an A&R (which is dope, by the way), you’ve got a good angle, music + insider content = strong potential for organic growth. Consistency + a bit of personality goes a long way. Treat it like a brand, not just a placeholder. Let me know what kind of music space you're in
