One thing that helped me was paying more attention to retention than views. A Reel with fewer views but high average watch time usually gives you better clues about what your audience actually wants.

For Instagram, Reels always do the trick. Just follow the trends. You will get followers eventually.
Try to make the reels interesting and creative. Boring reels won't bring you followers.
Best of luck

Focus on original Reels, strong hooks in the first 1–2 seconds, searchable captions/keywords, and content people want to save or share. Consistency + genuine engagement with your niche audience is still one of the best organic growth strategies in 2026.
