    How about Follows for follows? I feel as if this might have ruined my IG. I did Follow for Follows back in 2015, but I did it differently. I went onto big IG pages that had my interest (examples, Weightlifting, videogames, hiking, sports) and I would follow pages that commented or liked a photo ( the pages were pages that caught my eye, or ones that I was interested in. 90% of the time they would follow me back) So i WAS NOT just spamming the follow button. I stopped using IG around 2017-2018 and came back to it in 2019 and I posted a photo (before I was getting 450+ per like) and now my photos are getting 90-210 at first I thought it was the removal of Chronological order that caused my engagement to drop, but now im thinking it might have been me following a lot of people.

    I am doing something probably stupid but I don't really care whatever happens. Am basically trying to get as many followers as I can by using an unknown models photos. So far it's working. The idea is to keep gaining followers and now I don't even post much so people will forget about me. Yeah some already unfollow but followers outweigh. Once I reach the desired followers, I'll delete all the posts, change my bio and username, and start posting my pics. I wana see what happens and how much I retain.

    • @BenLeavitt
      @BenLeavitt  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey David! Engagement groups aren't really worth the effort anymore to be honest. Instagram is able to tell where the traffic and engagement was funnelled from, reducing the impact that the engagement from the group would have. You are better off putting that time into reaching out to and connecting with people creating similar content to grow your network and following.

    What if someone used the Instagram loop trick for a week or two, but then realized his mistake and unfollowed all those 20 followers gained through that loop and unfollowed those influencers as well so will the engagement will be now back to normal or will I have to delete me account and make a new account 🥺?

    Have done this and stopped after I made about 500 followers. I did notice a reach drop and engagement, but I mainly was affected because of action blocks which were without an actual mistake. Instagram just decided to punish my new account as my old one. Limits are different than a year ago. :(

    Do you feel this way about all promotional giveaways, or only the big loop ones? I have a foodie account. I was thinking of a giveaway to a high end local non chain restaurant with just a few local foodies. I would assume that most people who sign are local and probably would remain interested followers. What would your advice be?

      It limited my ability to be shown to people beyond my existing audience. I performed poorly in hashtags and didn't make it on to the explore page. With the goal of content creation being to expand your audience, the more new people who can come across you the better.

    hey Ben, Really appreciate the info you gave here. would love to know what you think the difference would be like in results based on the people running the contest. Say someone huge like a khardashian (that all types of people follow) VS a more niche account equally as large. should i consider this if the loop contest is run by very good performing accounts that are in the same demo as my brand?

    • @BenLeavitt
      @BenLeavitt  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey! I would say to avoid anything like this in the majority of cases. You may see some benefit if you're a niche page and the giveaway is from an account in the exact same niche. If your content is super similar and not attached to any one individual, your success rate will be more successful. People looking to build personal brands have the worst success with these. Hope that makes sense!

    Hello, probably nobody will see this because it's a 9 month old video but I gained a lot of followers running ads that led to my profile and now I'm trapped in the same situation as you in the video, what could I do? I think the problem is that the kind of ad was focused on gaining followers instead of followers that were interested in my content. Should I run some new ads promoting just my kind of content? I don't know what to do but it seems not cool to delete my account and start again :(

    What if I do a giveaway but instead of exchanging a prize for followers I exchange a prize for presaging my new song release on Spotify?

      I'm not saying giveaways are entirely bad at all. I am just saying these mass following giveaways can seriously damage your account. If it can funnel traffic to your music, I would say that's different because they are getting genuine exposure to music they may like and want more.

    @seunogunsakin1589 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't think the reach of each post and the additional followers gained necessarily are correlated. Frommy experiences the reach depends on the the time of the post, the caption, the post itself and who else is posting at the same time. Or maybe your audience just didn't appreciate that photo as much.
