There's actually a lot of misinformation and rumours going around, like certain settings you need to tick to "train the algorithm". Like this comment and I'll make a scientific video showing you what's actually true 🫡
Great video Dominik! I definitely have "liked" and shared from two personal accounts on on my business Instagram account. If I delete those accounts and don't engage on the biz account from them, how long do you think it will take to recover? Or is it possible they will jail my reach forever due to that (and in that case, should I start over?)? Thanks!
I listened to you and unlike many on here that point out accounts with big numbers, but never show actual proof that is due to them, you actually get results. I am now growing 1K per day. Last video got 30K likes and 150 followers from that alone.
The best setting is to use built in IG features to find out who liked and who didn't. If they don't interact for months then get rid. The minute I did that my followers skyrocketed
There is but just found a setting that withholds people trying to follow you and you have to approve them. Since disabling that setting gone up by another thousand to 19.2K
I finally got through and spoke to meta on Facebook messenger because I have a disabled ad account that ive been trying to get fixed for over a year. (It happened from being hacked) I wonder if this is impacting my instagram reach? The end result is that they can't delete my ad account because its been disabled for over 180 days and there is nothing they can do. Even though the ad account is disabled there are 2x ads "active" and my paypal account is linked but meta said I don't have to worry about being charged because it's inactive. So frustrating.
Yeah, people are doing these videos, and not realizing nobody really cares. People are getting annoyed with this unnatural “algorithm”.. too much restriction, don’t do this, don’t do that… These instagram gurus also get limited views and engagements like everyone else. Instagram is horrible not the same platform it was before. They have to stop doing that.
I can see why though. Instagram has come such a "professional" scene now a days. It started as an app that we would just post spontaneous photos from our Iphone 4s. Now its super curated with professional video and photo from $1000+ cameras
Hey Dominic loved the video; BUT to be honestly a lot of the creators actually do community pool engagement where they share a link to each other and start engaging with one another and it’s honestly working very well for them! Or some even actually buy engagement such as likes views comments and shares and it’s so obvious that it’s fake but at some point the mass thinks it’s organic and they start growing organically with time. It’s really frustrating I guess I’m just ranting and fuming and needed to get this out of my system. Anyways hope you’re doing well❤️🙏🏼
I started my Instagram account in Feb 2023. I posted regularly but randomly without knowing anything about algorithm. Gain some followers by boosting post few times. Then in august 2023, due to some personal I stopped posting for about 4-5 months. Then in January 2024 I started posting again but I made some mistakes. 1. Participated in a - follow for follow (gained about 200 followers) 2. Like and comment on my posts with my personal and one other account. 3. Did not stick to a posting schedule Now my reach is lower than ever. Should I start a new account or continue to the existing one?
Idk Dominik, it seems like pretty soon it they keep changing the rules and the algo.. Most likely it’s going to force web developers to make new social media platforms and make people move to those platforms.. Does anything work anymore? It seems like it doesn’t…
I have two accounts in similar niche. I'm experiencing really incredibly low engagement on my new account. Will logging out of the account and continuing from another device solve the problem?
You said there’s a problem with using the same internet and it appearing inauthentic. Does that mean family interaction using the same IP address is more harmful than helpful? My first like is usually my spouse!
I am an abstract artist and find it weird to create reels with hooks. All I want is paint and show my artwork. Doesn't seem like this I enough. But I can't create painting Videos because then my artworks become very unpersonal and unreal. But I don't wanna give up. So I will keep watching your videos and I try to apply your advice. Thanks for going into the depth.
I have to watch it again. That’s mind blowing! And I’m trapped because sometimes I post a story on my private account, which I want to share on my business account. So I had to follow myself on both. And when I post something I try to avoid switching accounts because if I get it on top of the feed and I don’t like it the reach drops and others don’t see it. 😄 Funny is that I wanted to ask you exactly this theme since one week. Now I’ve got an answer. 🤣 I just liked my own reels if I got in on top of the feed. But yes I did and this explains everything. Hahahaha! Also funny is that I decided today to work on a new strategy for instagram. So I’m fine with it. Holy 💩! Now I have to replay this video and safe it, although it’s old in seven seconds. Hahahahaha!
So what if I have a main account for wildlife photography and a secondary one for occasional (that being the keyword) portrait or event photography. Or “client work” as I like to call it… Shouldn’t I be able to use my actual name for both? And is sharing a post to your channel or stories considered bad as well? So many questions 🙈
Hey Dominik ! First of all thank you so much for your constant content. I have a little question, when I enter my accounts settings I have a warning for the tobacco use thing. It only says they removed a story from some months ago, that talked about tobacco what can i do to remove this or have my account back to normal. I fear that my engagement is being affected by this. Im so sorry for my bad english, this is not my main language.
It's not the setting since I weeded out none interactions I went from a few likes a day to hundreds of likes a day. The algorithm pushes out to your Followers and if they don't bother it thinks your stuff sucks, make sense?
I get views and followers and engagement. But mostly from the Middle East and Asia. Is there a way I can divert that to western countries? Love a video on that 😊
I want to start a new account for my business because I have so much friends and family following my account that it is ruining my growth because they aren’t my target audience but still post on the 1st account. Will it ruin my growth regardless because of what you said about multiple accounts? I’m really stuck and I don’t know what to do!
If I have already done it, using my main account to engage with my second account, should I remove my second account and start over? Or just stop doing that is enough?
Great video!! So much good information. The first step in this video about not having similar accounts with name and profile pic that posting similar content. Does that include businessaccounts that you have for different countries? If you offers products in two different countries and have two instagramaacounts for that.
Wow, this is really useful. I've had a banned ad account for years now and have been trying to get it removed but never receive a reply after numerous messages to Meta Even paying for verified, I still dont get a reply. I'll need to prioritise this. Thanks.
Hey Dominik, I have two accounts that involve making leather goods, I've had one of the accounts for several years now, but have only been bringing it back to life in the last three weeks. All my content is only shown to followers, nobody new, any thoughts?
I love to create, but i have like NO IDEA THE RULES. Just two days ago, i saw i wasnt getting recommended because my bio was flagged. Apparently something in it, AI said it was like soemthing wrong. 😩 Its so frustrating. I also thinknim going to stop commenting on other videos, i think one instance flagged my acccount i was supressed for somr reason. Several months ago some random person bought followers for me, literally a troll account. I was so mad. Idk if i should just get a whole new account. Something in my bio seemed bad, literally AI doesnt know context
So, how do I fix these mistakes? I feel like I'm being punished by the algorithm. I think it's because the same 5-6 accounts are engaging with me and they all engage with each other too. I followed them to make friends in niche and they are always the first ones to comment and like my videos but ever since then I am not getting the reach I used to. It's super frustrating. I'm not even in an engagement group. Just wanted to make friends 😢
I mean should I unfollow and remove them from my following list, they are genuine people and I feel bad doing that cause idk maybe they felt like they were supporting me.
Well I have two fan accounts one is doing very well and the other one isn’t doing well. I want to keep this account but I might have to change my niche. I have to think about what niche it will be.
My reach was growing at the beginning of my account but it dropped, maybe because of my multiple accounts, so I deleted them. Am I going to get reach again with this account?
Hi! I have a small problem, My account has gone viral a lot of times and we have gained a lot of followers (2500 in two months), but our engagement is dropping down by a lot. And the videos are not being shown to our followers. What do we do?Thank you!!!
what if you're bilingual and make content in 2 different languages so 2 different accounts obv... is that spam activity? i was thinking to bypass this just have 2 phones for 2 accounts. I HATE THE FACT THAT WE CANT CHANNEL THAT CREATIVE ENERGY and focus on making content only....theres just so much friction....how much is a guy supposed to think about....worry about making good content or the fkn algorithm
Last month my stories can reach about 500-600 but suddenly dropped to below 200. I dont know why. Content is the same and I do post consistently, about 10 stories per day. Should I stop posting stories to let it reset the algorithm?
Yep that’s exactly what’s happening to me I have three motorcycle accounts and I have the same profile and links on them and my engagement has dropped by 80% now what the fc am I supposed to do ❓ two of the accounts out of the three are verified accounts and the main account with over 1 million followers engagement has tanked ever since I put them all on one phone please help 😂
I do have multiple accounts on Instagram but I didn't post a lot of content there and not so active. I just do have posts on stories on some of those accounts. Can that also affect my reach? If yes then what to do because I tried multiple times to delete those accounts but I am unable to do that. I have been posting valuable content for 3 months but not getting so much reach.
I have 2 accounts, a personal one and my pro photographer account…. similar profile picture and I occasionally liked posts between both accounts oh well…….
First and foremost I want to say that you’re completely and utterly wrong with 60% of this video. You’re literally reading their terms of service. Yet I scroll through on the daily watching people be murdered, hit by vehicles, fights, doing literal hard drugs. Those posts have hundreds of thousands of views. The truth is. If your content isn’t shocking, controversial, or about someone famous. It simply takes a long time to get the algorithm to know who to push your content to.
All I know is my reach is up to over a million accounts in just a month. I don't BS and I even made a video. I am sick of some Gurus on here selling snake oil. I don't sell I just show results
Thanks to him reached 1.4M views in 4 days I can upload my screenshot as proof. Also in just 6 months went from 1000 Followers to almost 15 000 followers
Not sure Dominik if you'll see this, but I have actually 3 accounts of myself. One just for friends and everyday people who actually don't mind my modeling work, another one for my mainstream photo modeling work, and another one for more 'erotic-style' modeling work (as they're actually different audiences). I really wonder if what it's said in this video could affect those accounts, as two of them are same niche (modeling), and i use the same name in two of them and of course my face is in all of them 🥲. I also have two photography accounts (I'm a professional photographer too), each one for a different photography subniche. Again, obviously my name appear in both. So now I'm really worried about all this 🥲🥲🥲 The stuff posted in all the accounts is usually different photos (sometimes might repeat a pic in two accounts in different moments though). I hope all this stuff doesn't play against me. There has been a lot of work put behind all my content strategies
There's actually a lot of misinformation and rumours going around, like certain settings you need to tick to "train the algorithm". Like this comment and I'll make a scientific video showing you what's actually true 🫡
Great video Dominik! I definitely have "liked" and shared from two personal accounts on on my business Instagram account. If I delete those accounts and don't engage on the biz account from them, how long do you think it will take to recover? Or is it possible they will jail my reach forever due to that (and in that case, should I start over?)? Thanks!
I listened to you and unlike many on here that point out accounts with big numbers, but never show actual proof that is due to them, you actually get results. I am now growing 1K per day. Last video got 30K likes and 150 followers from that alone.
The best setting is to use built in IG features to find out who liked and who didn't. If they don't interact for months then get rid. The minute I did that my followers skyrocketed
There is but just found a setting that withholds people trying to follow you and you have to approve them. Since disabling that setting gone up by another thousand to 19.2K
I finally got through and spoke to meta on Facebook messenger because I have a disabled ad account that ive been trying to get fixed for over a year. (It happened from being hacked) I wonder if this is impacting my instagram reach? The end result is that they can't delete my ad account because its been disabled for over 180 days and there is nothing they can do. Even though the ad account is disabled there are 2x ads "active" and my paypal account is linked but meta said I don't have to worry about being charged because it's inactive. So frustrating.
My stories were reaching 500 people last week. This week they're reaching 45
Omg that was me two weeks ago! My highest was 640 and a couple days it’s been 110
Same 😢
This happened to me too! I don’t get why
this is happening to me now. and I dont know why….
sounds like Instagram is getting more and more crazy and pushing more people to leave them for different platforms like tiktok, youtube or even Cara.
Yeah, people are doing these videos, and not realizing nobody really cares. People are getting annoyed with this unnatural “algorithm”.. too much restriction, don’t do this, don’t do that…
These instagram gurus also get limited views and engagements like everyone else. Instagram is horrible not the same platform it was before. They have to stop doing that.
facts, just couple months ago all you needed was consistency and you'd grow now it's impossible to reach people
They are so strict it’s crazy
I can see why though. Instagram has come such a "professional" scene now a days. It started as an app that we would just post spontaneous photos from our Iphone 4s. Now its super curated with professional video and photo from $1000+ cameras

Oh my!! That’s easly 3 things that i do wrong 😅
I have two accounts in similar niche. I'm experiencing really incredibly low engagement on my new account. Will logging out of the account and continuing from another device solve the problem?
Yea I wonder this too
Any update?
What if i need two accounts for legal reasons? How to do that
You said there’s a problem with using the same internet and it appearing inauthentic. Does that mean family interaction using the same IP address is more harmful than helpful? My first like is usually my spouse!
Oh and also we have an Airbnb on the same Internet connection - with coasters asking people to engage on insta- this would also count against us?

Hey Dominik !
First of all thank you so much for your constant content. I have a little question, when I enter my accounts settings I have a warning for the tobacco use thing. It only says they removed a story from some months ago, that talked about tobacco what can i do to remove this or have my account back to normal.
I fear that my engagement is being affected by this.
Im so sorry for my bad english, this is not my main language.
I thought a post went viral but it turned out to be a bunch of bot accounts following me. That was a pain to remove Rip organic reach 😢
does that mean I cant have real accounts for example one for learning english and one for fashion?
I love this type of videos however, I never understand 90% of all said... Thank you for sharing tho'.
well, I'm not doing any of those things, I'm investing in high quality content and yet Instagram is like "well not today, not ever" so idk.
Do you suggest deleting my account with the bad reach and opening a new one ?
If I sent a link to a discord server of a reel does instagram also see that as artificial boosting engagement ????
Hey! I have a question, does logging into your account from multiple devices somehow affect our instagram reach??
depends on from where and how
@@heyDominik I usually post from my phone but I also have instagram logged in my laptop, would the app deem it as suspicious activity?
It's not the setting since I weeded out none interactions I went from a few likes a day to hundreds of likes a day. The algorithm pushes out to your Followers and if they don't bother it thinks your stuff sucks, make sense?
You block accounts that are bot? What do you mean?
@mattc3510 I mean I weed out all accounts that don't bother interacting and since then one of my videos went viral with 1.4M views
Creator member here, love your videos always!
You are back! Woot!! Helpful, thank you :)
Back like a backpack

this was helpful but it made me anxious
How to do it and 1k challenge in a week or something what do you think?
May I know which guidelines context you are showing in your videos?
Sure, a setting. ⛽️💡

What about hashtags? I'm hearing all kinds of things. Will you get punished if you use too many or does it not matter?
Doesn’t matter

Hey bro I can’t remove flagged followers from my page it’s only 1600 but I can’t see and remove them

Is giveaway illegal? Or not anymore the best way
not illegal, just depends how do do it

hey bro I created a new account and it says you can't monetize because you violated our policy "established presence" though I don't is it normal?
perfectly normal. you need to create content and get some followers first

Hey Dominick, can we collaborate all the posts and reels with the new account?

So are theme accounts dead now then?
What if your original account was disabled, I can't delete it
I’ve reached 37k in 28 days only have 141 followers but I’m getting thousands of view on posts ?
I have 2 accounts, a personal one and my pro photographer account….
