Can a new Instagram account still grow organically?

still works but slower than it used to, reels are basically the only door in now. the accounts i see pop off post daily with a strong hook in the first second, saves and shares matter way more than likes. months not weeks though

F. NO, they dont scale for crap unless you are a single female or some weird alt niche weirdo or hippie. You can still do follow/unfollow. I long stopped caring and put on DMChamp bot assistant for messages. Also, looking into shoutout exchanges again as I saw the success of the method shown to me by someone on Twitter some time back. Even played with running the lowest possible bids on Ads for followers and it was 10 cents max a follower, more like less though then they would trickle in slower. IFTT ring is good. An aggregator like Hootesuite is what Im looking at for sending out now to different channels with one post. The AI code writing bots are so powerful now that I can quickly deploy custom tools off of old manual methods found on this forum. AI web builders for example can build me a top 10 website method from way back and sell ad slots somehow, maybe with outreach.

Yes, organic growth is still possible with a new Instagram account, but I think having a clear niche makes a big difference. Reels can help with initial reach, while useful and shareable content gives people a reason to follow. I'd focus on testing different formats, tracking saves and shares, and staying consistent rather than chasing follower numbers alone.

I think you should consistently post high quality Reels videos every day, with engaging and easily shareable content to keep up with trends.

Yes its still possible just slower than before. Reels are the only thing that really grows a new account now. Stick to one niche post daily for at least a month and double down on whatever gets good watch time.

Yes. Give people a reason to follow beyond one video: a useful series for a clear audience. Publish original Reels, test different openings, and track which posts bring new followers.

Yes, but the game changed. Reels is the only door left and saves/shares matter way more than likes. Post daily for 3 months before judging anything and archive posts that pull the wrong audience.

Yes, organic growth is still possible, Focus on Reels, consistent posting and niche specific content.

I think organic growth is still possible, i would post Reels consistently, follow trends in my niche, and interact with my audience. Good content and consistency are key.
