Except when you are getting zero views from your Instagram reels no matter what time or when you post it and this is what’s happening to my account. When I first started it I was growing about 10 to 20 followers a day with three reels post a day. And now and most recently my reach has completely dropped and none of my videos see the light of day I’ve posted reels I posted regular posts and I am down to getting 3 to 5 followers a week if I’m lucky. I don’t know what to do anymore and when I post content now it feels like I’m posting it to nobody because nobody sees it.
Instagram is digging it’s own grave , and I think they just installed a tombstone . Algorithm and zero personal touch with people who matter have taken away the “social” out of social media . I’m looking T other options , maybe VERO , cause I think a lot of creative people are slowly jumping ship
Hey there- this is interesting insight. Thank you for sharing! We think you might be able to find advice and/or support with this from other Later users and creators here in our Community's Social Strategy Forum: community.later.com/t5/Social-Strategy/bd-p/using-later
Yet all the reels from a consumer perspective have made it an unbearable place to be, and it is no longer an authentic community platform if we let 'Meta' dictate what we should and shouldn't be posting. For anyone that doesn't resonate with the changes, or is tired of feeds where you don't see who you are actually following it's time to bring other marketing activities into the mix.
Interested to hear if you have seen similar on other platforms? LinkedIn is of real interest to me, they don't have a reels equivalent but is there a move towards more videos on all platforms in your experience

I feel your pain, why do we even bother anymore. You put so much effort in and get no return. Instagram is dead now for genuine content creators
same :( no matter how many trendy sounds I use , the views are lower than the video before
Instagram is a slow car crash right now, nobody cares about reel's, if we want video we go to TikTok. Honestly it's heading the way of MySpace.
Thank you so much for this. I have been posting reels alot and i've see some improvement. So yeah, reels are the best way to improve your engagement.
Thanks for the advice! Got hacked and starting all over again, so all your help and advice is greatly appreciated :)
Ohhh I’m loving the intro 💗
Yes I get a lot more interactions from reels but they're all from people that are of no use or relation to my business.

Good ideas to implement. Video content is a sure way to hook your audience and hold viewers’ attention longer than textual content or images can.
So true!
Instagram is sad. Just like "META"
Yes to these intros!

Are you calculating engagement by Likes + Comments / Potential reach or by impressions? Curious how things are changing!

So what exactly did she say to fix it? 😅
