Thank you for the helpful tips!! i have to rewatch the video again to implement all those tips you guys gave. and i like the chemistry between you two.
So welcome! It all depends how dramatic the change of niches are, if you're referring to converting an existing account. There's definitely a lot more work involved in converting an account but if you have a decent enough following then it could be worth it - C
Hello High Season Co. I really enjoyed your informative and knowledgeable content! I have a question regarding the 12 advance posts you mentioned. Are they meant to be posted all in one day?
Hi! Thanks so much for the kind words. :) Re the 12 advanced posts, you could do all in one day but it might not receive much engagement, so we'd suggest to do 1-3 posts per day until you hit the 12 to let the engagement slowly grow - C
Thank you for all the useful information! I'm really struggling with whether I should post about both my coaching business and occasional life updates. I feel like as a coach, you want to be relatable, and I feel like posting 'regular' things will help form a bond with my audience. However, I also understand why people keep the two separate...
Hi Mary, our pleasure! You could try testing - post some life updates and see how people respond to the content. If it's positive then keep it coming, if not then at least you know. Try a number of posts, too, you can't judge off just one - C
Great video. Thanks! Starting my new account for my business, I was prepared for the fact that I will have little to no traction at the beginning, but it gets hard 😅. Assuming my content is valuable and my feed is "bingeable", is there usually a time frame where a new accouny starts getting traction? Thank you
Thanks so much for the kind words! Congrats on the new account! There's no real timeline as far as when traction will begin. The more you post and the more you engage with others, the better chance you have of moving the needle sooner. Another way to push it forward faster is to use ads to boost some posts and get some more engagement. Keep going! - C
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. for sure u gonna have lots of high quality subscriber and followers soon for putting high quality contents like this. kudos
Thank you so much! I have a question: I started my account years ago and i got a lot of engagement. Then I changed my style 3-4 times and every time I changed my style, I deleted all my previous artwork. I did this several times (5-6 times), that every time I deleted all my previous artworks and started over. Most followers were gained in the beginning. Now my engagement is awful although I post daily, it's getting worse and worse. My concern of starting new account is that it'll be hard in the beginning as well. I might not get any view or 0 followers for a while. What do you suggest in this case? I would love to start over, but not sure if it's the best strategy. Thank you!
Hi, that sounds like it makes sense. Removing all the posts would confuse followers and stop them from engaging. If you're able to find a style to stick with and keep the posts up, you could keep going on your existing account. You may as well try with a fresh account and see how it goes, it's essentially equally difficult than with an existing account that's somewhat negatively affected in the algorithm. Hope that helps! - C
When starting a brand new account. Is it best to post a bunch of posts right away so there's content on the page or is it best to stick to my planned frequency which for me would be 5-7 times a week and let it build up slowly? 😊
Hi! It's best to launch with 9-12 posts so when people come to your page, you have content they can look at that tells them who you are and what you do, along with what they can expect. If you started to promote the page without posts, or with only a couple of posts, the likelihood of anyone following is quite low we've found. Hope that helps! - C
I'm so glad I found this channel because it's definitely helpful, so thank you. My question is would it be OK to use my personal Instagram page to drive people to my professional Instagram page so that I can use all the trendy music that is available? Or would it be better to change my business page to a Creator page? My business is casual apparel.
So welcome! I'd suggest to just change your Business account to a Creator account so you can access the music, it doesn't affect anything. The only thing to keep in mind is if you want to run ads on that content, you wouldn't be able to do it with trending audio - C
Incredible video! Gorgeous couple. Just subscribed. Please how do I change my account from a professional account to a creator account. I've been on 3000 followers for a year. What tips can you please give to make my business grow and give more visibility. I'm a baker and I run a cake store. Thanks
@@Tee1980_ Thank you so much! Here's how to switch to a Creator account: help.instagram.com/2358103564437429?helpref=faq_content. All the tips we'd have are in this video and in all of our other growth videos - they all should help you get going! If you're looking for more customized assistance, you could consider joining our Membership on RUclips - C
Thank you for this video. But what if my pages are in a mess, what should I do? Should I pull them down and start over? I dropship from 3 different vendors without a physical store and all I post is pictures that direct people to buy. What will be your advice
Hi, what do you mean that "your pages are in a mess"? I'd need more information before suggesting any action. If all 3 products are in the same niche, or your company is under the one banner, you can use the one account to promote all of the products. But you'd also want to share more valuable information rather than just approach it like one big promotion. For example, share tips and education around the products, how you can best use them, facts about them etc - C
I noticed that when I don’t include hashtags, my posts/reels tend to do way better, than with hashtags. I tried 30, I tried 5, I tried none. Makes me wonder if hashtags are dying (at least for food blogging). 🤔
That's a cool observation, and if that's what you're finding then stick with it. Mosseri mentioned that hashtags don't have the same value as they used to, personally I've never heard that posts do better with zero hashtags but really it's about whatever does best on your specific account - C
Got a question on trending music. I keep seeing the same music on video after video, and I have a reaction now that if I hear the first bars of an overly familiar song, I skip the reel regardless of quality or subject. Not sure how to follow trends when they are done to death.
Hi Matthew, great question. I imagine not everyone would feel the same way (tbh I agree with you, I don't like hearing the same thing over and over), so it's not always an issue for every IG user. That said, try to jump on the trends early to maximize your value and reach from it and move onto the next one. - C
Hi! When you're on your newsfeed, it's on the top right. Any DMs will be there and they appear in a similar way to emails (ie they're in bold if they're unread). The link in your bio is the only link on your profile page, and it's underneath all of your bio information. Hope that helps! - C
Great video as usual. Your content is always informative and easy to follow. Definitely need to rewatch and implement some of these idea. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! That's so cool to hear, really appreciate it and we're stoked you're getting value from it - that's why we do it! Thanks for watching, appreciate you - C
Are you suggesting a new account should add 12 posts total (reels, carousels, static posts) or 12 each to have them up before you pull in profile views? Is more always better when preloading an account before marketing harder in Stories?
Hi Erin, we're saying 12 posts total before you engage. More is better for sure regardless. Just think about if an account with nothing on it engaged with you - there's almost no chance you're going to follow them, because you don't really know what they're about or what their posts are going to be like. Give yourself the best chance to win by posting first, go hard on Stories and engagement etc. Hope that helps - C
Hey 🙂! Question…is it important to use an aged e-mail (mim. 2-3 weeks old) when open a new account? And what about open a new account on a phone where you already have one or more accounts on your Instagram app? I‘ve heard all of this makes it difficult to grow? Thank you 🙂🙏
Hi Johanna! There's no need to use an older email for a new IG account, and no need to worry about opening a new IG account on a phone that's logged into other IG accounts. However you do it, it doesn't affect it :) Thanks for watching! - C
Hi, it definitely doesn't hurt your brand or negatively affect your IG account if you don't use Threads. It's great to secure your handle and just cross-post any content from IG, though - you may as well! - C
Great content! I'm starting an Instagram theme page for motivation. I have everything ready posts, reels. But I didn't upload anything yet. I have 0 followers 0 following. Do you recommend me to pay for a shoutout when I have 0 followers or is there any different way?
Thank you! So you'd want to have at least 12 posts up before attempting to bring any traffic. If you paid for a shout out with 0 posts and 0 followers, it's very unlikely anybody will follow you - they won't know who you are or what you're going to post about. Best bet is to get the account filled with content and then move from there. - C
Hey there you thank you so much for sharing these tips I’m actually a content creator myself I have Had an instagram account for my daughter as a mini influencer/ digital creat she has gained a few new follow however I feel like stuck I feel like she has ver good content but it seem like she does get much engagement in her post and reels I would really love for her account to grow is there anything you can recommend?
Hi Angelica, thanks for the kind words! That's great that your daughter is doing awesome, too. First steps would be to follow the tips in this video, especially ads if you have the budget, but try things like collaborating with theme accounts and others in her niche, and to not just stick to IG and build a following on other platforms to push traffic to the others. :) - C
That's fair, it's been a little rougher lately with the algorithm. I'd focus more on servicing the community you have, deliver as much value as possible and produce shareable content that your audience would share and then growth should come from that - C
I had created an account 4 years ago but didn't post anything. That account is active, can i use that same now for professional page ?? Will i be able to get max reach with that ?
You can certainly do that - not sure how it'll go, haven't heard of that specific set of circumstances before but it's worth a try if there's no issues with the account - C
@@Highseasonco Actually I saved the username and wanted to use that for professional account now. But at the same time I'm afraid if It will grow! Account was active throughout, I was liking and saving posts but I didn't post anything. I have one more question: how to get first 1000 followers when starting from 0?? Should I buy or follow random people? I don't think if I start following with 0 followers, I will have good impact on people and they might not follow me back! Please help ❤
@@SK-xg2sp Gotchu! OK here's a video for the second question: ruclips.net/video/HKc6SgVbptk/видео.html. Definitely don't buy followers - followers aren't even as important as they used to be. :) - C
as an artist is it too vague to think the audience I would assume I would be aiming for is people who like original art and collecting original art and who like watching artists's process?
That can work for sure, but it's way too broad if you're doing ads, however it'd be a good start for organic engagement. As you go, you can slowly refine it. You may find a very niche demographic tends to gravitate towards your work so then you can cater to them more and more - C
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. I find them very helpful. I am running into an issue. I am unable to figure out on my own. I watched so many RUclips videos and I am unable to resolve my issue on Instagram not being able to run ads due to not being the full admin on the Facebook account I was previously using. I deleted the Facebook account and I’m trying to run my own ads. Will you guys please help me with this🙏
Hi, thanks for the kind words! Are you an admin on the Facebook page attached to your Instagram account? Or is there no FB page? There would need to be a Facebook page attached to your IG to run ads, and then a FB ads account - C
Hi, you can get those 9-12 posts out ASAP really, the account just needs to have content before you start engaging with others to increase the chance of retaining them as a follower - C
You can totally advertise to get followers! Just make sure that you have enough content on the page to give people enough value that they'd want to follow. No issues there at all - C
Hi guys. Awesome tips. Question. Can I change a personal existing account on Instagram to business/creator account ? I still have a separate personal account. Thanks. ❤
Hi love the video🙏🏽, but I’ve created a new Instagram page for motivational reels ,do u think paying for Instagram ads can mess up a organic audience or it shouldn’t ?
I created a new account a month ago. The content of my account is drawing and everything related to drawing, but my followers are not increasing Can you help?
How do you know for certain that it was the change to a Professional account? We've never heard of anything like that nor experienced it for any of our clients - C
Idk what I’m doing wrong I’m trying to grow my sons account. I guess I want my audience to be moms but. Idk what to exactly post I think my problem is captions? Im using trending sounds but getting very low views so im he has 200 followers what sounds should I use what’s the number of user who already used that sound
Hi Femia, it could be the captions, you'd want to test a few things to see what your audience responds best to and then lean into that. You could try a sound with 50k to 100k uses, and then start testing different use levels and see what the response is. When you're at the stage you're at, thee best thing you can do is just test. - C
@@femian4647 Everything is worth testing to see what works for you. Paid ads are 100% worth it, they also require testing as far as the creative and target audience, but that's the best way to guarantee reach - C
Hi! You'd want to ensure that your first 12 posts would cover all of the different aspects of your business (or whatever your account represents). Think of it from a prospective follower/customer - what would they want to see if they needed to get a snapshot of what you do? Whether it's your products, services, offerings, hours, sales/promos, just give them everything they need! - C
Hi! Dahn responds to the emails daily so perhaps one of them was yours. We don't offer a growth service, just Done For You and consulting along with our RUclips Membership. Dahn should have outlined that in the email - let him know if you have any questions! - C
I just don’t get instagram.. I see people with fake pages have followers I’m trying to make an actually personal profile & it’s like nobody wants to follow me.. & I’m far from ugly so you’d think people follow people because they look nice but that’s not the case… I just don’t get it

Very helpful and everything 100% true based on my own research, thanks for sharing! Subscribed!
Love to hear it, Jonathan, thanks for the sub! - C
Hey there you thank you so much for sharing these tips I’m actually a content creator myself I have Had an instagram account for my daughter as a mini influencer/ digital creat she has gained a few new follow however I feel like stuck I feel like she has ver good content but it seem like she does get much engagement in her post and reels I would really love for her account to grow is there anything you can recommend?
Hi Angelica, thanks for the kind words! That's great that your daughter is doing awesome, too. First steps would be to follow the tips in this video, especially ads if you have the budget, but try things like collaborating with theme accounts and others in her niche, and to not just stick to IG and build a following on other platforms to push traffic to the others. :) - C
Got my notebook out!!!
Woo! Enjoy!! - T
Hi. Can you change your account from business to creator?
Sure can! Just head over to your Settings and you'll be able to switch it. That'll give you access to the trending audio - C
Thanks for this important information ❤
So welcome, Mia, thanks for watching! - C
My posts, reels and stories haven’t preformed well unless I run ads. It’s really hard to grow
That's fair, it's been a little rougher lately with the algorithm. I'd focus more on servicing the community you have, deliver as much value as possible and produce shareable content that your audience would share and then growth should come from that - C
@@Highseasonco I will try that and see if it works.
I had created an account 4 years ago but didn't post anything. That account is active, can i use that same now for professional page ?? Will i be able to get max reach with that ?
You can certainly do that - not sure how it'll go, haven't heard of that specific set of circumstances before but it's worth a try if there's no issues with the account - C
@@Highseasonco Actually I saved the username and wanted to use that for professional account now. But at the same time I'm afraid if It will grow! Account was active throughout, I was liking and saving posts but I didn't post anything. I have one more question: how to get first 1000 followers when starting from 0?? Should I buy or follow random people? I don't think if I start following with 0 followers, I will have good impact on people and they might not follow me back! Please help ❤
@@SK-xg2sp Gotchu! OK here's a video for the second question: ruclips.net/video/HKc6SgVbptk/видео.html. Definitely don't buy followers - followers aren't even as important as they used to be. :) - C
Hey Guys, do you provide consultations?
Hey, we sure do: www.highseasonco.com/consultations - C
Noooooo not more GOALS! The whole reason I go on social media is to avoid goals! 🤣🤷🏻♀️
🤣🤣 these goals are always getting in the way.
as an artist is it too vague to think the audience I would assume I would be aiming for is people who like original art and collecting original art and who like watching artists's process?
That can work for sure, but it's way too broad if you're doing ads, however it'd be a good start for organic engagement. As you go, you can slowly refine it. You may find a very niche demographic tends to gravitate towards your work so then you can cater to them more and more - C
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. I find them very helpful. I am running into an issue. I am unable to figure out on my own. I watched so many RUclips videos and I am unable to resolve my issue on Instagram not being able to run ads due to not being the full admin on the Facebook account I was previously using. I deleted the Facebook account and I’m trying to run my own ads. Will you guys please help me with this🙏
Hi, thanks for the kind words! Are you an admin on the Facebook page attached to your Instagram account? Or is there no FB page? There would need to be a Facebook page attached to your IG to run ads, and then a FB ads account - C
Tell em sis people are too negative put positive energy out there for yourself how u expect to get blessings
That's it! Only speak what you want to see in the world - C
thank you
So welcome, thanks for watching - C
Are up to 30 hash tags still recommended? I heard just a few that relate directly to the post recently
Hey Max, we did a study last year and we found that 30 hashtags outperformed 5 hashtags by 7x, so we'd definitely suggest doing that - C
What kind of training do you do? Step-by-step?
We offer consulting where we can walk clients through anything they need to know step by step for sure - C
How long to warm up the new IG account before making first post?
Hi, you can get those 9-12 posts out ASAP really, the account just needs to have content before you start engaging with others to increase the chance of retaining them as a follower - C
Would you advertise to get followers or would that mess up the account ?
You can totally advertise to get followers! Just make sure that you have enough content on the page to give people enough value that they'd want to follow. No issues there at all - C
Hi guys. Awesome tips. Question. Can I change a personal existing account on Instagram to business/creator account ? I still have a separate personal account.
Thanks. ❤
Hey! Thank you :) Of course, yes you can, just go into the Settings and switch your account over, no problem - C
Hi love the video🙏🏽, but I’ve created a new Instagram page for motivational reels ,do u think paying for Instagram ads can mess up a organic audience or it shouldn’t ?
Thank you! Paying for ads won't mess anything up at all, it's an entirely separate thing. You're safe to advertise! - C
@@Highseasonco thanks you and I just sub to you🙏🏽
Thanks again =)
Pleasure, thanks for watching, Glenn! - C
I created a new account a month ago. The content of my account is drawing and everything related to drawing, but my followers are not increasing Can you help?
Hi! Have you tried all of the tips in the video? - C
Using a professional account tanked my reach and engagement.
Went back to a personal account and it’s back to normal
How do you know for certain that it was the change to a Professional account? We've never heard of anything like that nor experienced it for any of our clients - C
@@Highseasonco because it wasn’t the 1st time for me, I’ve seen a pattern
Is it possible to save an Instagram account that, after six months, only has 155 followers and no sales?
Hi Mary! Yes it is, it'd take a lot of work but it'd be possible - C
Idk what I’m doing wrong I’m trying to grow my sons account. I guess I want my audience to be moms but. Idk what to exactly post I think my problem is captions? Im using trending sounds but getting very low views so im he has 200 followers what sounds should I use what’s the number of user who already used that sound
Hi Femia, it could be the captions, you'd want to test a few things to see what your audience responds best to and then lean into that. You could try a sound with 50k to 100k uses, and then start testing different use levels and see what the response is. When you're at the stage you're at, thee best thing you can do is just test. - C
@@Highseasonco thanks for responding will be trying it all. Do you think I should do paid promos?
@@femian4647 Everything is worth testing to see what works for you. Paid ads are 100% worth it, they also require testing as far as the creative and target audience, but that's the best way to guarantee reach - C
How do I hire you guys?
Hi! You can reach out to the team here: www.highseasonco.com/contact - C
What are the first 12 posts you would post?
Hi! You'd want to ensure that your first 12 posts would cover all of the different aspects of your business (or whatever your account represents). Think of it from a prospective follower/customer - what would they want to see if they needed to get a snapshot of what you do? Whether it's your products, services, offerings, hours, sales/promos, just give them everything they need! - C
This just takes you around in a circle. You can't click on get support.
Interesting, it works every time for us. It could be to do with your specific ad spend according to some other comments - C
@@Highseasonco I do not run ads. I am trying to fix my account not my ads
I just sent you guys an email. Do you guys offer a growth service that is done by your team? Other than by the audience
Hi! Dahn responds to the emails daily so perhaps one of them was yours. We don't offer a growth service, just Done For You and consulting along with our RUclips Membership. Dahn should have outlined that in the email - let him know if you have any questions! - C
I just started new business account at the begin of the month and I do not have the invite collaborator feature. Why is that?
Hi Krishan, some accounts may not have the feature yet, I believe it's still slowly rolling out. It could also be country-based, too. Sit tight! - C
Is it still valid to put about 30 hashtags in caption? 🤔
Hi! The messaging from IG now is that we should be using up to 10 hashtags in the caption - C
@@Highseasonco thanks 🙏
I just don’t get instagram.. I see people with fake pages have followers I’m trying to make an actually personal profile & it’s like nobody wants to follow me.. & I’m far from ugly so you’d think people follow people because they look nice but that’s not the case… I just don’t get it
Almost any issues with growth are to do with the content itself. Try to implement all the tips in this video for 3 months and then see how you go - C
It's about you being willing to post positive, inspiring and authentic things.
@@Famous5821 That's it! - C
