Q & A
What is the main focus of the Instagram growth strategy discussed in the video?
-The main focus of the strategy is to train your account, also known as niche mastery, to consistently show content similar to what you post. This helps in getting inspiration for content, hashtags, captions, and trending audios, ultimately leading to guaranteed growth.
How can you find trending audios on Instagram?
-To find trending audios, press the 'Reels' button at the bottom right of your profile, and then look at the 'Trending Audios' section on the bottom left. You can see which audios are trending by the arrow symbol next to them. By scrolling through and saving these trending audios, you can use them in your content.
What is the significance of using polls in captions on Instagram?
-Using polls in captions is significant because it greatly increases engagement by prompting users to interact with your posts through voting. This high level of engagement can help skyrocket your account's growth.
What is the recommended format for an effective Instagram caption?
-An effective caption should start with a hook, such as a question, followed by advice, a story, or actionable steps. Credit the source of the content and include a call-to-action (CTA) like 'follow for more', and finally, add relevant hashtags.
How can effects on Instagram help increase views on your content?
-Effects can help increase views by subtly enhancing your content and making it more visually appealing. Using popular effects can potentially get your content additional exposure, as the algorithm may prioritize content with trending effects.
Why is it important to turn off Facebook recommendations for Instagram growth?
-Turning off Facebook recommendations is important because views from Facebook do not contribute to your Instagram growth. Focusing solely on Instagram ensures that your efforts are directed towards building your audience on the right platform.
What is the current purpose of using hashtags on Instagram?
-The current purpose of using hashtags is to help the algorithm understand who to show your content to. It's about using keywords on steroids, with a recommended range of 3 to 7 hashtags, to teach the algorithm who your target audience is.
How should you use pinned comments on a post that is going viral?
-For a viral post, you should pin a comment from your account that includes a call-to-action (CTA), such as 'follow us for more'. This encourages people to follow your account and maximizes the potential of the pinned comment feature.
What is the best practice for pinning content on your Instagram profile?
-Best practice for pinning content is to wait until the post's momentum starts to die down, around 30 days after posting, and then pin it to the top of your profile to keep it visible and relevant to new visitors.
How can you optimize your Instagram bio for growth?
-To optimize your bio, include searchable keywords in your name, describe your account and the value it provides in the first two lines, and in the third line, use a community-focused CTA that invites users to join the community or 'family'. Keep it simple, clean, and focused on capturing the audience's attention and incentivizing them to follow.
How can adding text as keywords on your videos help with Instagram's algorithm?
-Adding text as keywords on your videos helps the algorithm understand who to show your content to by identifying the topics and themes of your content. Make the text as small as possible to ensure it doesn't distract from the visual content but still serves its purpose in guiding the algorithm.
