So true! Just like the video said, outdated strategies won't cut it. I switched to Boost App Social and it helped me focus on creating high-quality content that resonates with my audience. Their AI writing tools are also really handy for creating engaging captions and bios.
@@robinsonzoey Yes, it does! The app provides relevant, niche hashtags that can help enhance your post's visibility. It’s a pretty comprehensive toolkit.
I'd have to say for the last point, I've had multiple people tell me they do not see my posts In their feeds ever, and only know when I've posted by seeing my story about it. I've seen this on my end too, where the feed will tell me I'm "all caught up" and then I'll go check stories and see posts that were never shown to me in my feed.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH! I'm the social media manager for my company and you're absolutely right about the weird recommendations we always see on RUclips! People still have the misconception of looking aesthetic on Instagram, but they don't know that the algorithm has changed a lot and Instagram is no longer about how you look on your feed, it's more about the quality of the content you display every day.! IN SUMMARY! Just be authentic and real, it doesn't matter if you're a business!
Great tips. I am back to IG after few years and I am shocked how much it has changed. Hard to say in a good or bad way. True photography/videography is dying and AI semi fake content is taking over.
I agree with all of these but I do think I get more views / engagement on my reels and posts when I repost to my stories! Many times people won’t see my content otherwise 😭
I agree! I couldn’t tell you how many posts I’ve simply missed out on because instagram didn’t show it to me. Every once in a while I’ll think “I haven’t seen much from this friend, let me see what’s up” then I go to their profile & they’ve posted 5 things since I last came across their posts.
Been listening to Flick while I do artwork in my studio along with other people talking about the same subjects and so far it is the best content or at least the most convincing of everyone. Good production, good speaker, supports what he says with examples. Thanks man, very generous.
Thank you for the information! I’ve always struggled with Instagram in particular🙃. I always posted still images and didn’t jump onto the reel bandwagon.
Great video and you got the point about groups. I come across this video for this reason. I'm running a food content channel in all the social platforms and it's very common on Instagram people try to invite me to a or "". Even I'm not in any of these groups, I feel I'm anyway. Most of my follower are food content creators and we comment each other, probably as new profile you suppose to do that, but it seems to be like I'm not going anywhere like so. I feel in a cage with these foodie accounts. I really spend a lot of my time creating reels and I often get spam comments from my followers, like: "yummy", "delicious" and so on. What I do, whenever someone comment on my post, I reply. Should I stop reply "spam" comments? I mean, sometimes I get very interesting comments so I get exited to answer. But when someone comment "delicious" or ever worst with an emoticon like a heart, should I ignore these comments? It when I spend 4 hours for a reel, duration of 15/20 seconds, adding the full recipe and someone comments with one "emoticon". I'd love to know if someone is or was in the same position then mine.
My grid is messy... not aesthetic...he's right, best to spend time on the content.. n the last one too.. i got to stop doing that.. glad to see ben back in action with his IG tips..
It's hilarious because I already do this stuff. I refuse to do reels and hate videos in general on Instagram. Sometimes videos are OK, but it just feels like everyone are only posting videos and it's super annoying trying to browse the app. If I wanted to constantly watch videos I'd come to youtube. A video here and there on an account is ok but when people post only video content, it's an instant nope for me.
I miss when social media was fun post things and no one cared about likes and there was no algorithm and yearly trend. It's like these apps are controlling the way we socialize on them.
so basically we are in a good spot, all the cheating and crappy tactics are less and less effective and genuine good content, good comments will slowly but steadily make you grow your account for the people that actually do matter and like your content
Just started a new Instagram and did follow for follow. I followed 50 people and 30 followed back. I don't have any content yet and wanted to see if it still works and it kinda does. The account is only a week old. Definitely not a long term strategy but I don't think it's that bad starting from scratch.
It depends! It's nice to have the option to have access to customer service and they have said you'll get better reach. However, these are things we believe everyone should have access to always. But, if you have the funds to do it, why not give it a go for awhile and see if it helps your account at all! :)
I'm so frustrated 😭 it really doesn't make sense. How can someone who is just starting out can get a decent number of followers? I’m starting to think that the content has nothing to do with the success. It really has to do with captions and songs and whatever it is trendy 🤦🏻♀️
first, you post a pic not for get a view but keep your memory in there, second, when you post a pic all scam start comment and view video your video with fake account
i have a question about the not sharing your new post to your story - if my analytics show that the post isn’t really being shown to everyone, can sharing it to my story boost it at all?
This is what I came here to say. IG seems to hate most everything I share in the main feed. So no one sees it there, so how can posting it in a story hurt anything if no one saw it to begin with?!?!
All these sk videos about "growth" on instagram. Why would you want that? How many friends do you think you've got?? Instagram is NOT a business. It's a toy!!!
Great tips. I am back to IG after few years and I am shocked how much it has changed. Hard to say in a good or bad way. True photography/videography is dying and AI semi fake content is taking over.
Ive noticed in my niche AI’s influence. In about 10 days time, many decor channels had thrift store hauls. Def not coincidence. It was so obvious that i was really turned off by it. Thats fake to me

Interesting, I've been hearing about Boost App Social. Does it also help with hashtags?
@@robinsonzoey Yes, it does! The app provides relevant, niche hashtags that can help enhance your post's visibility. It’s a pretty comprehensive toolkit.

Outdated Instagram should be the only title. People still on Instagram.
Great tips. I am back to IG after few years and I am shocked how much it has changed. Hard to say in a good or bad way. True photography/videography is dying and AI semi fake content is taking over.
When I post on Instagram I don't care how many people follow me. I just care that the people that are enjoy what I post. Quality over quantity
I agree with all of these but I do think I get more views / engagement on my reels and posts when I repost to my stories! Many times people won’t see my content otherwise 😭
Insta making us jump through hoops
I agree! I couldn’t tell you how many posts I’ve simply missed out on because instagram didn’t show it to me. Every once in a while I’ll think “I haven’t seen much from this friend, let me see what’s up” then I go to their profile & they’ve posted 5 things since I last came across their posts.

Appreciate it!
So much value in this video, which instantly forced me to become your follower, thanks man!
Thank you for the insight on "New Posts"/repost to stories. I haven't been doing it for a while, but I will make sure NOT to resume that habit.
Thank you for the information! I’ve always struggled with Instagram in particular🙃. I always posted still images and didn’t jump onto the reel bandwagon.

I'm so tired of the do this and don't do that bs. If people like what I do then it's good. If they don't then that's their problem. It's all so dumb.
Spam liking is the worst. Like someone liking 20 photos in less than a minute. Sometimes I want to call them out 😡
Based on what did you come up with these tips? 🤔 I feel like some of them you just made up yourself without any actual proof behind it
Glad to hear the pinning feature is a good one to use :) I've been recommending it to clients.
My grid is messy... not aesthetic...he's right, best to spend time on the content.. n the last one too.. i got to stop doing that.. glad to see ben back in action with his IG tips..
Finally someone said that aesthetic grid is overrated and outdated 😅 and has nothing to do with quality.

Great info. Glad I bumped into your video.
Aesthetics do matter! It's great for attraction but not necessarily conversion
I miss when social media was fun post things and no one cared about likes and there was no algorithm and yearly trend. It's like these apps are controlling the way we socialize on them.
GREAT STUFF HERE!!! thanks for sharing!
Hi. Can retargeting keys and conditions in the same group narrow the audience?
Loved all of your advice! 😀🤙🏽
Great information. Thank you very much!
so basically we are in a good spot, all the cheating and crappy tactics are less and less effective and genuine good content, good comments will slowly but steadily make you grow your account for the people that actually do matter and like your content
Hi Encik, video padu! Nak tanya, kenapa 70% saja? Kalau dah achieve 70%, then yg baki mcm mana ?
Hi. Are there guaranteed sales after the launch of targeted advertising?
Just started a new Instagram and did follow for follow. I followed 50 people and 30 followed back. I don't have any content yet and wanted to see if it still works and it kinda does. The account is only a week old. Definitely not a long term strategy but I don't think it's that bad starting from scratch.
Are channels (announcement groups) considered as spamming?
Great video! Thank you! What about changing username? Thanks again!
Thank you for the advice. Very helpful.
What is your take on purchasing the Meta verification subscription? Should we do it?
It depends! It's nice to have the option to have access to customer service and they have said you'll get better reach. However, these are things we believe everyone should have access to always. But, if you have the funds to do it, why not give it a go for awhile and see if it helps your account at all! :)
do hashtags still work?
I'm so frustrated 😭 it really doesn't make sense. How can someone who is just starting out can get a decent number of followers? I’m starting to think that the content has nothing to do with the success. It really has to do with captions and songs and whatever it is trendy 🤦🏻♀️
This video is great, i manage a lot of peoples acconts, and the thing at the moment that really annoys me and my clients is aI gnerated comments.
Bro really said follow for follow doesn't work , you are wrong bro it works
you know any software/ app that removes all the bots or fake followers that follow you?
What do you think about niching?
first, you post a pic not for get a view but keep your memory in there, second, when you post a pic all scam start comment and view video your video with fake account
GREAT VIDEO!!

Good video :)
To summarise this video into one sentence. Stop being fake, authentic posts gets you growth.
Thanks ❤
Right now i have 430 followers… i ll come back in December…
thanks
Videos are life, photos are death :) Why post pics when you can have music and movement in one shot? :)
All these sk videos about "growth" on instagram. Why would you want that? How many friends do you think you've got?? Instagram is NOT a business. It's a toy!!!
I gained 50 follows In 1 hour using these tricks
more bad advice
Great tips. I am back to IG after few years and I am shocked how much it has changed. Hard to say in a good or bad way. True photography/videography is dying and AI semi fake content is taking over.
Right
Ive noticed in my niche AI’s influence. In about 10 days time, many decor channels had thrift store hauls. Def not coincidence. It was so obvious that i was really turned off by it. Thats fake to me
