Post reels; that is one of the best things you can do right now since you can actually start testing the trial reels feature which pushes content out to other people outside your base following.

Good content is only the foundation, but dont rely on content alone. try to spend time engaging with people in your niche by send them thoughtful comments and replying to everyone who interacts with your posts to interact with them and remain loyalty audiences
Strong content should be the priority but I would not ignore engagement Replying to comments interacting with similar creators and being active in your niche helps build trust Follow unfollow is not something I would rely on because it rarely creates a loyal audience today

Content is the foundation, but distribution matters too. Focus on high-value carousels, strong first-slide hooks, and clear CTAs to save/share.
Skip the follow/unfollow tactics—they don't build a real audience. Spend 15–20 minutes genuinely engaging with people in your niche before and after posting, and let consistency do the heavy lifting.

With regard to carousels, you should probably focus on creating good quality content that you can easily share rather than using the follow/unfollow method. Interacting with people within your niche is important during the initial stages, but ultimately it is the carousels that are saved, shared, and have retention.

Personal finance / money tips is a natural fit, and one of the performing carousel niches, post content that is bookmark worthy

You need to consistently post quality reels, actively interact with your viewers, and focus entirely on content...

post good content consistently. you can also try follow unfollow method it's works sometimes
Since you are focusing on carousels, the content itself is king because Instagram rewards save rate and time spent on post above all else.
- Forget Follow/Unfollow: It burns your engagement rate and looks spammy in 2026.
- Hook on Page 1: Your first slide must have a compelling headline to make people swipe.
- Targeted Engagement: Spend 20 minutes a day interacting with big accounts in your niche. Leave insightful comments, don't just say "nice post". This drives organic profile visits

You can definitely grow with only carousels. Just make sure the first slide is interesting enough to make people swipe.
I would pay less attention to growth hacking and more to developing an approach that will produce content repeatedly. In case of carousel pages, it is the posts that know how to make ppl save them rather than simply liking and scrolling further that win. Find out what topics people save in your niche and work on them.

Post on your audience's peak viewing hours and apart from posting high quality content, also engage with your community.
