How does one go about finding these fucking sick networks? There isn't much on this forum that's for sure.

A perfectly healthy 10k account in my niche (travel) can pull 15 to 25% engagement pretty consistently. If you keep spamming people with F/U you'll probably end up like all those other thousands of accounts that are getting less engagement at 50k that I do at 4k (on a good day my accounts gets...

I don't think you can compare Instagram to FB. It's much more a creators' network, meaning that many people come to instagram to consume beautiful/interesting images/videos more so than to see what their cousins are up to. Given that a huge number of influencers have switched to business...

so annoying!

Does anyone else have this issue? My business stats (screenshot attached) tell me that my last photo reached 4,010 people, 43% of which did not follow me. When I look at the breakdown of impressions, however, 90% come from "Home", which I assume refers to my follower's home feeds. This math...

I don't think one can state this as a fact. Nearly every single legit influencer in my niche is using a business accounts and their engagement looks very healthy (10-20% on accounts with 100k+). My own account is fairly small (2.3k) , but at this time most of my posts reach at least 90% of my...

I have a business account, and my engagement is about 35% at the moment (2.2k followers). Will see how it goes as account grows, but at the time my reach is nearly 100% of my audience, so it's totally up to the quality of my posts to drive likes and comments.

I have been notifying my followers about my account moving to the new address. I've experienced a number of blocks initially, but found happy medium, sending 10 messages, then taking a break for at least 30 min, and repeat up to a 100 messages a day. Have been doing it (manually) for 7 days...

I completely agree that I wouldn't see results I am seeing if I did not already have my loyal followers that I gained over the last 6 months and that the game is rigged for newbies. It's basically catch-22, can't grow without liking/commenting/etc, but doing that excessively may stunt growth. I...

These people I refer to were talking about purely organic growth, so that explains the difference. Have you considered that your engagement may be low not because it's your niche but because you are using automation? I mean, if you are targeting people who liked content of similar accounts to...

Yes, I've been adding posts and stories, which has been working fairly well. Although I do feel instagram is making it harder and harder the more posts I make pimping my new account.

Hey, I think I had the exact same issue as you. I grew my account via likes only to 5k. When I reached that point, I decided to stop liking to see how it will fare on it's own. The results were pretty sad. I'd post a photo that will get about 1k likes, which will gain me 20-30 followers. I'd...

I need to notify 5k followers about my account moving to a new address. I've managed to send messages manually to 400 of them, but now instagram is making it nearly impossible with action blocks. I am being blocked after send 40 messages (about 10/hour spaced out with decent intervals)...

What makes 10k the magic number? Have you observed a noticeable change in your own account(s) when you hit 10K?

Yes, this is very helpful. Thank you. I am just trying to figure out why my account is being outpaced in terms of growth by a several very similar accounts that are adding 3x number of followers on a daily basis. Their content is of a similar quality and I know for sure that they are not doing...
