this video is pretty accurate, i do everything that is suggested. feed post every day 5-10 stories a day 1-2 reels a day and 1 igtv every 2 weeks or so. and my growth hast been pretty damn good.
I keep wondering how people do it. Reels? I have to find a way to make some from food photo set-ups. Still rather unsure about how to go about it! Stories: I'd have to have 21 additional food photos per week! Plus what I post to the grid and often I don't find the time to produce 3 good food photos every week. IGTV: Totally different story, see reels. So, I wonder how people who cannot finde time to take photos every day and are not sure to get one good photo every day the can find the time manage to be that active! For me, that would mean: taking a couple of raw fruit and veg still life photos for about at least 30 min to one hour, preparing one dish for about another hour and then taking different photos of that dish for about two more hours (changing backdrops, light, camera position, props etc. several times). So, three and a half hours more or less for maybe then 10 decent photos with all the same subject. And then collecting them in order to be able to mix different photos for one story. I don't have the time or the energy to do so more than twice a week. Usually, taking ONE good still life photo with fruits and vegetables can take up to two hours. It is fun, but it wouldn't be anymore if I had to force myself to give almost all of my free time for that.
Sorry to bother you, if you've ever thought about getting your Instagram or Twitter account verified. send a dm to @ mr_poster07 on Instagram. He verified my account @anglitu3 Thank me later
Just watching this video made me realize how Instagram just transformed from a fun platform to a ridiculously freaky one... after using it for more than 7 years and feeling this algorithm getting tougher every day on organic growth and controlling who sees your post, it’s just a no brainer that they are setting their path for failure and loosing people’s interest. Great video and thank you for the valuable info, but as you said it’s not realistic to do all these things ...
I stopped using Instagram for a week and lol my growth dropped drastically. Currently searching for these tips, thank you Ben for giving some different and relatable tips
This video backs up what I've suspected recently on instagram. I notice a reasonable boost to my recent posts on days that I post reels. Interestingly I doubled my new followers per day for about a week following doing my first live stream despite not getting too many views to the live stream itself. Great video. I appreciate the info!
I didn't know about the Facebook Creator Studio, will definitely be using that moving forward. I love these videos Ben. You're content adds great value. Keep up the good work dude!
Thank you baby. I subscribed! Mwah💋 Question: do the stories we post have to be original content from us or can it be another person's post that you share to your story?
No reels in my country.. I faced a massive drop in followers from about 300 followers a week before august last year, to like 20 a week from nov to dec (I think I was shadowbanned for whole of sept since i had almost no followers increase AT ALL) .. and finally this month it has started picking up again to about 200-ish followers per week. All organic, without reels. Wish I can try out reels to get more reach.
Hi can u tell us why we get temporarily blocked from using the like & comment features of Instagram for liking too many posts. I thought they want engagement & this makes no sense to me!
The IG Requirements are a good rubric to establish a work schedule to feed the machine! This is what I need to get the motivational fire burning towards success! Thanks, Ben!
Sorry to bother you, if you've ever thought about getting your Instagram or Twitter account verified. send a dm to @ mr_poster07 on Instagram. He verified my account @anglitu3 Thank me later
Question: if I do a live and then save it as an IGTV does that count? This is great! Thank you so much for sharing. I can’t wait to implement this on my page!
I created my IG & YT at the same time to go hand in hand, and they both take time & attention in different ways but I'd like to know if you think it's better to focus on one or the other? Currently I feel I'm having more success with YT which surprises me 🤔🤩
Reels not even available where I live (or even insta music!!). Totally sucks so it stunting my growth! Where can I find out when we are going to get all the features? I’m in the Isle of Man in the middle of the Irish Sea between Ireland and U.K.
Hello, i hope your good? My country doesn't have reels option. Every other day i try to find it why isn't it available. If u can help me out. I live in kuwait, arab country
@@BenLeavitt The engagement rate is quite less now as I don't post too often,also I haven't done any of those things you mentioned since a long time. Gonna do them now ✌
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing this with us! To be honest, I am not gonna try them all at once, but definitely, I will start to increase my reel shares to see if something is changing 😁
Thank you for this because you actually come down to my level of understanding. I will surely come back and share my experience after trying this out on my account that isn't doing well yet.
Spot on, i have only less than 100 followers and 50% reach comes from tags and stuff. My first reel got 3800 views which is almost same as my first promoted post
Doing 1 a week should be perfect! More if your audience really responds to it. But try to let people know you will be doing it & do it at that day & time consistently
Great into. You are on point and concise. But your watchers need to ask "WHY AM I DOING THIS? Is it to be popular and feel validated as a human being? Or Is it to build awareness that will build your brand and lead to business sales? If it is not number two, this is a complete waste of time.
Awesome tips thank you she says skipping off to lay out her schedule. I'm fairly new to instagram so stories is so far my favourite but I'm excited to get exploring. You have motivated me 😍😍😍
Do I have to edit the entire reel on instagram? Can I edit it on some app like inshot and then just use the song from instagram collection? That's what I usually do because it's difficult to make videos just on the reel. What do you you suggest?
This is some great info, Ben! Thank you! I'm wondering as a newbie with not many followers and up against so much competition, will posting so often cause my small number of followers to get tired of me and 'unfollow'? What are your thoughts?
@@BenLeavitt I'm definitely don't do IG well. I have an account that's private which is much larger than my new public account. I haven't done Reels in months, and even then it was repurposed from TikTok 😄 I'm not on my social media pages much, I need to figure out why not . 🤔
I started posting 5 posts a day on IG for the last 3 weeks ( 7 lives, 7 reels, 7 posts and 14 stories a week) . I currently have 140 followers. The goal isnt to just have a big number next to followers, it’s to do and share something I love (fitness) with others and help each other improve.It will be interesting to watch at this posting frequency and consistency how it affects the growth and maybe after a year or two at this level the reach will be much further. Thanks for the video 🙏
Subscribed instantly, mate. I have a query. The thing is, I post reels and also other stuffs like pictures. What I've noticed is that I get a massive reach and likes from outside my followers list, whereas my followers would constantly view each and every story I post but they wouldn't press the "Like" button. Quite a small thing but isn't it obvious that if they didn't like the content, they wouldn't be checking my story within a fraction of a second and continue watching. I feel more of an ego thing. So, now I only like posts of people who actually take an initiative.
I have an artpage I can't make every art in a week and make reel it's so difficult to be consistent I can only post when my sketch is ready please suggest something

I really love REELS feature and I also saw GROWTH in my FOLLOWERS by posting REELS ❤ Useful tips thanks for sharing this 👍
Thank you soooo much
I post 5 times a day with 3 reels and 2 feed post and 5 stories a day
Can you tell is it good or should I change something?
The IG Requirements are a good rubric to establish a work schedule to feed the machine! This is what I need to get the motivational fire burning towards success! Thanks, Ben!
My favorite Instagram feature is their Filters and the fact that you can use them your Reels 🙌🏼
If I just do posts and buy an ad, would I get a similar result? I just don't have that kinda time to do all features, thanks!
You go brother, smashed and liked!
Appreciate you!!! Hope you are doing well :)
Wait you smashed then liked dang

Please do more zoom ins and outs. This video is not yet hectic and stressful enough. Thank you.

I can't use Reels, its not supported in Hungary unfortunately 😣
I know :( it’s super annoying how it still isn’t available in some regions
I really like the feature where you can mute or simply report a post because you don't like it.
Each time I post a reel I'm losing followers 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

me too 😔

Not quite sure why this video has so many dislikes even though I just gave you a thumbs up!
I do love reels but they're consuming lot of time... So I do always prefer stories to keep my followers updated
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing this with us! To be honest, I am not gonna try them all at once, but definitely, I will start to increase my reel shares to see if something is changing 😁
Let me know how it goes!
Thank you for this because you actually come down to my level of understanding. I will surely come back and share my experience after trying this out on my account that isn't doing well yet.
Does it matters if i dont post reels on my feed?
Am not getting reels option in my account what should I do to get reels ?
Spot on, i have only less than 100 followers and 50% reach comes from tags and stuff. My first reel got 3800 views which is almost same as my first promoted post
In the optimal list, if I were to do ALL features, how many lives do you recommend a week?
Doing 1 a week should be perfect! More if your audience really responds to it. But try to let people know you will be doing it & do it at that day & time consistently

Its actually easy grow this days. No hashtags ,2tag 1 mention with similar followers
