You need a CTA in the ad or caption that makes people want to click into your profile. "Check out the link in my bio for XYZ guide to blah" "Do you like this or Y better? Check post Y in my profile and let me know!" Then your profile need to be optimized to be attractive to follow.

Maybe true, but it's also possible to hit explore page without hashtags. I have few video that get few thousand reach from explore page without any hashtags on the post. I believe those will be shown to people who 'interacted' with your profile or 'followers of followers'

No on my stats page it shows them separate Impressions from: Hashtags Explore Other Location

Yes I find it weird because my post has 8000~ reach from hashtag, and exactly one from explore. I would think that if IG decided to show my post on explore, it would be more than 1 person

How can a post get exactly ONE impression from explore?

Will instagram show my ad to my own followers? How can I create an audience which target people who engaged my profile but didn't follow me? This includes followers too right?

nobody notice this? when you make single post, it gets more hashtag exposure right? carousel didn't get much at all.

Is it true that carousel posts don't show on hashtag on the feed? Anyone else notice this? Also don't see any in the 'top' for hashtag just 'recent' So carousel easier to get to explore, but not hashtag reach?

Same

I never even got explore before Except on my fake account with 500 followers

Yes, 120k real followers for $1,000 is not a good goal. You could try some tricks like running a good give away and spend some on promotion but those followers won't really be targeted and many won't stick. A more niche / targeted give away will provide better results but you won't get...

2000 Some day is like 50 some day is like 0 so I think it average to 100 per week

10-20

Think you should use more hashtags. Also the content is pretty important. You can have great hashtag but if the content isn't good with your audience then it's useless.

Yeah noticed it too
