Hello, I have just started an IG in the sports supplements niche. I use the follow method on gym pages followers but the followback ratio is less than 5%. On my personal IG I get way better followback ratio and I don't post as good content on it as I do in the sports supplements IG. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

I'm assuming you've tested a variety of different target sources? And that you're also following the most recent followers.

Have you tried changing the theme of your page? Bio, name, profile pic, posts

You might also want to consider adding a like and/or a comment after following a user (if your software allows).

Maybe try some new sources, different posting times, or some more viral content for niche pages.

Target is most important thing. Your content should match your target. Do both good and you should face good results. Also find and test good targets because sometimes it can be really hard to find one for a big niche.

As someone who is growing manually an IG page, my advice is, keep following and liking others related content and if you can, pay for a promoted post and make sure its a quality post the one you pick for the promotion

Follow Unfollow tends to be hard unless you're using it on people who are interested in your account, so try and find accounts likewise to yours and guide their followers to your account.
