I think the most important thing at the beginning is staying in one niche. Reels can bring reach, but the audience needs to be relevant to the content if you want engagement later.

I will tell you what I did. Before creating a new account, I recorded and edited videos for 3 months with details like description titles so that if I forget any video's purpose or title, I have enough documentation. Then I created an Instagram account and started posting those videos at a particular time daily. I had videos ready, so I was consistent for 3 months, and after those 3 months of consistently uploading, I had 80k followers.
 
If you want to boost your follower count quickly, focus on posting Reels and engaging authentically. Post Reels consistently, and real followers will follow.

these days putting out useful content matters more than just posting a lot when something is actually good people can keep sharing it long after its posted so getting quality and real engagement should be the main focus
 
Start with consistent content, a clear niche, and real engagement with people
 
Pick one topic and post useful things about it. Be active and reply to people when you have something helpful to say. Keep it simple and give it time.
 
I think you should actively interact with your viewers. That's the most natural way to expand your audience.
 
everything start from zero, then why are you worried about it. everything takes time, so be have some patience and focus on your target. firstly understand the insta algorithm, and then select a growing/trending niche. then gather knowledge on it. then start your content creation. maintain the quality of your reels or posts. maintain the uploading consistency. upload regular 2-3 reels. add proper titles on your posts and reels.
 
Starting from zero is actually an advantage with today's algorithm. Focus on these core basics:

  1. Optimize Your Profile for Search: Put relevant niche keywords in your Name field and Bio so people searching your topic can easily discover you.
  2. Post Short Reels for Discovery: Reels are pushed to non-followers. Hook viewers in the first 3 seconds and focus on creating videos that people want to share via DM or save.
  3. Use Carousels for Depth: While Reels bring in views, multi-slide Carousel posts build authority and get high Save counts, which turns viewers into followers.
  4. Active Outbound Engagement: Spend 15 minutes a day genuinely commenting on accounts in your niche. People will see your comments and click through to your profile.

I will start by making a demand of my content, not just for entertainment, but also to make them feel they need my videos, covering niches like looksmaxing, lifestyle, men's styling, and more.
 
I think you could focus on the type of content you excel at, invest in visual quality, and pay attention to your posting frequency.

Focus on consistent posting, niche content, and strong hooks in captions. Use Reels, trending audio, relevant hashtags, and engage daily with comments and DMs. Consistency and value matter most.

Yeah, I agree that consistency is important, but in my opinion, one should measure which reels attract people’s attention to their profile and get more follows rather than post more.
