There is a couple o techniques to revive the account, start through the basics:
Profile optimization, quality content and proper hashtag strategy.
Then you can move to other stuff and grind the account.

Sharing my friend's experience:
- He had about 300k+ followers.
- Stopped posting for 8 months due to personal reasons
- Now, his engagement has gone to shit. Been 5 months since he is trying really hard -> Reels, stories, posts and what not.
In the end he go so pissed that he is on tiktok now and instagram is not his primary focus.
It's really hard to revive a dead account. Your mistakes of not posting compound like anything!

Yeah, doing this now thanks. Just didn't want to waste weeks working on it + money for ad spend if it was a no goer.
Damn that really sucks. Tbh I'm thinking the same but I get better engagement when I don't use hashtags which is stupid because how can I grow organically? :/
I have set up another account to test a fresh account and I get 20% reach every time as a minimum, I suppose I just gotta test but I aint trying for 5 months :S.
Thanks for your input though, greatly appreciate the insights.

From a few weeks to a few years depending on the kind of niche it is, how long the account was inactive for, the kind of content you're posting, the kind of collabs you're doing.
Basically, how badly you want to revive it will define how long it takes to revive the account.

Best method is to warm up account with content for approximately 1 month, then use "boost post" of any amount to assist in trust score.

I aint waiting a few years lol. I'm running a few things on it now and seeing slight improvements already so going to give it a week or two boosting it, if it doesn't vastly improve then I'll drop it. Thanks for your input though.
Thanks for this, I have boosted a couple of posts and noticed a little up tick. Will give it a couple of weeks to see where I'm at - if it's still the same, I'll pack it in.

It all depends on how much work,money and time you are willing to invest but here are a few tips to get it up and running :
1.Start interacting with other people's post so that IG will start promoting your account in their feed.
2.Use Hashtags and Reels frequently as Reels is a nice way to get you viral for a headstart.
3.Invest a little bit into Ads like 5-10$ a Day to get your reach high initially.

This is good advice, are you talking about interacting with my followers again, or by going to larger accounts and interacting with their followers?
I have several posts boosted as we speak, I'm testing whatever I can for another two weeks (will be a month in total) to see how things recover.
Unfortunately, my stories barely reach 50 views which is pathetic lol.
