I see a lot of people saying Instagram now favors established creators more than newer accounts. If you have started a fresh account recently, what has your experience been? Is consistent growth still possible without paid promotion?

Fresh Instagram accounts can still achieve solid organic growth because the current Reels algorithm distributes original content to trial audiences regardless of account size, so experienced creators succeed without paid ads by optimizing the first three seconds of short videos, maximizing watch time, and maintaining a consistent daily posting schedule.

Every platform presents significant challenges for small content creators. However, with persistence and a willingness to keep improving, they can gradually grow and become successful, larger creators.

I think consistent growth is still possible without paid promotion, but it takes more patience than it used to. New accounts need to earn trust over time by posting consistently, testing different content formats, and focusing on engagement rather than expecting immediate reach.

Most successful IG marketers posting multiple reels daily not only one .

Influencers posting more than one reel daily and they know how to write hooks that triggers their audiences. These are two main keypoints.

I wouldn't say so, if you're making high quality content instagram will prioritize you. Just at the start it will give your content to small audiences, analyze their reactions to it, how many times they will watch a video, how long will they stay on it, will they go to your profile and check it out.. Everything counts in their algorhytm

The same "blablablablba" like all SEO and marketing agencies telling you, right?
So long you not know how to make your audience trigger in blogpost (text) videos, or reels, even podcasts , so long you will not growth big and fast. It's not hard to learn that skill. Silicon valley geniuses using it, this is why all these social platforms forcing it means: they promoting you for bigger traffic when you can trigger engagement which only will be happen on emotions, stop scrolling.....etc, etc...

If your content is unique and original, you will surely grow even if you are new.

It became more difficult for small-scale firms, but it is still possible.
