should i remove dead followers?

I run an art account and it was doing pretty bad until i posted a trending reel which blew up and and handed me 6k followers but the problem now is im afraid a ton of them who followed me arent familiar with the niche i posted about at all, and the type of profile who spam follow a bunch of people, because of this even with 7k now my posts somehow manage to reach 1k likes but i notice my mutuals who haven’t blown up with reels gain general audience of the niche and have way less followers than me still get to 1k or more likes, which looks bad especially when i have way more than them yet get same amount of engagement, im wondering if i should just mass remove them? will clean up be better? its also more to do with the ratio because for them 2k followers 3-5 k likes might look good but the same amount of likes would look off for my 7k followers acc. none of my posts have crossed the follower ratio.

10k followers in less than 20 posts on Instagram - will work for any niche

I got 13K followers on Instagram within 25 posts. As an Instagram coach. Not by luck, anyone can do it. I did it for my clients too. STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST

- Find top creators in your niche. Who has more than 500k followers.

- Sort their reels by most views (Instagram has new update to sort reels from anyones profile - you don’t need any tools)

- Save the videos which has more than million views and posted within last 6months.

- Try to recreate the videos, the script, the dialogue delivery. I even copied their studio setup with an Ai tool wcreator.app - you can upload the Influencer reel’s screenshot and your photo and your recorded video - in 2 clicks you will get studio quality video.

- Post 10 videos like this, you will get your first 100k videos.

- Then create 3 versions of the best performing video of you. Just change the first 3 line. And post it on trial reels.

- Keep doing it.

If you’re serious in content creation, do this and get followers. Then you can create your own ideas. It worked for my personal account and my clients account. Out of 20 posts - 4 videos got more than 100K+ views, 4 videos got 50K+ views. That’s how i got 13k followers. Its not just one time hit.

The quality of the audience: I sold 200 ebooks, took 10+ 1 on 1 paid call, and got 5 high ticket clients for my Instagram coach.

I tested static posts vs reels for 2 weeks and the results were backwards

I decided to test static posts vs reels because everyone says reels are the only thing that gets reach anymore

Week 1: Posted only reels. Average reach was around 14k per post, decent engagement, people watching but not a ton of saves

Week 2: Posted only static carousel posts. Average reach dropped to 6k per post BUT the engagement quality was way different. Way more saves, longer time spent on post, more detailed comments

So reels got me more eyeballs but carousels got me more valuable engagement. The people who stopped for carousels actually cared about the content, the people scrolling reels were more passive

Then I looked at which format was actually driving DMs and profile visits and it was overwhelmingly the carousels. Even though they had half the reach they were bringing in more serious engagement

Now I'm trying to figure out if I should keep doing reels for growth and reach, or focus on carousels for quality audience building. They seem to do completely different things

I've been trying to figure out which content format actually leads to the type of engagement that matters long term and honestly carousels seem underrated right now

Has anyone else tested this? Are you prioritizing reach with reels or quality engagement with carousels?

Accounts keep getting suspended even after new setup – need help (will pay)

Hey guys, I’m seriously stuck right now.

My accounts keep getting suspended again and again. Even after creating new ones with new devices and sims, they still get disabled saying I’m bypassing rules.

This is affecting my whole business.

I’ve tried different setups, different devices, different content styles, but still facing the same issue.

If anyone here genuinely knows a working solution that actually works long-term (not basic tips), I’m ready to pay for your help.

Please comment or DM me.

Is the Instagram algorithm just ignoring my content?

I run a niche page and put a lot of effort into reels, but the reach is abysmal. I'm not trying to go viral overnight, but it feels like I'm posting into a void. I'm trying to understand the algorithm better. I've been reading about how a sudden spike in engagement, even a small one, can sometimes signal to the algorithm that your content is worth sharing. I'm considering a small, targeted campaign just to create that initial signal by even using something like whateverboosts. Has anyone tested this? Did it actually improve your organic reach afterwards, or is that just a myth?

Is $10–11k a fair price for a 515k follower animal niche page? Two offers on the table.

Looking for honest opinions. I have a 515k animal niche Instagram page, witch is earning some passive income. Two buyers came in at $10k and $11k.

For context: I've done this twice before and sold a 400k page for $11k. I know I can build again. My focus right now is Facebook (where I earn more) and my family takes priority. Is $11k reasonable here? it's a top performing page with massive engagement and 15-30m views monthly and I don't post too often.

This sub needs a massive overhaul

It seems pretty clear that the mods/admin dgaf about this sub.

Can the mods here either pass the mod-reigns over to some people who actually care about the Instagram platform and marketing strategy within it, OR, do a better job of moderating this sub?

I’m here to share my strategies and understandings with users who need help, and I’m here to learn from others.

This could actually be a legitimately good sub if someone actually put some effort in.

Is TikTok making downloads hard on purpose?

Ran into something kinda annoying today…

Found a viral TikTok that I actually wanted to save (rare tbh), but of course:
– download disabled
– or only lets you save with that big watermark

Tried screen recording like usual, but the quality just drops and it’s kinda messy.

Then I randomly found a site that actually lets you download it clean, no watermark. Didn’t expect it to work but it did.

Made me curious —

What kind of TikToks do you guys actually save?
Recipes? Edits? Tutorials? Random funny stuff?

And how are you downloading them these days? 👀

Using Original Audio does help to boost reach...

I've started to notice that if I upload a reel without attaching any song from instagram and use only original audio, my views/reach start to spike , like I've uploaded 3-4 reels in past few days and their views spike to 8-10k within 10mins, currently I've in total reach of 2M+ and Followers 170+... I upload memes

Figured out a way to bypass the Meta Business Verified 3-Day rule to change Instagram profile picture — wanted to share

I manage a Meta verified business account on Instagram. I had recently changed my profile picture, then was told that I couldn’t change it again for the next three days (!).

Support was no help and said that I could try unsubscribing from verification, but did not recommend that.

So if you’re in the same situation as me and want to change your profile picture after just changing it, do this:

  1. Go to Meta business suite on a computer

  2. Hover on the circle with your profile picture and the Instagram icon in “Home”

  3. Click on “Edit Instagram”

  4. You might have to click “verify account”

  5. Click the pencil icon next to profile picture, and you should be able to update your profile

*note that I only changed the picture once (not going to test fate with Meta) so I can’t attest to how many times this works*

Hope this saves someone the stress I just had!

Why are some accounts more successful than others?

People nowadays say they want connection and vulnerability. But I have seen multiple account show little no personality and just post fashion content and become successful. And others showing more vulnerability and pizzazz and showy videos that are edited nicer and have a lot of followers or little to no followers

Like @mimixn has a lot of followers but it’s just outfit after outfit, no connection or even talking in her videos

@suneetmaanthind has similar vibes but a little more personality is shown in her page

@thenabilaismail constantly posts videos of her dating experiences, travel content that’s very edited and has lots of followers

I don’t know what works do we need to talk about our personal things in videos or not? I feel like content that makes people feel connected gets more views generally but some people just post pretty photos and they get tons of likes. Is it because they’re hot? And the rest of us need more to offer lol
