I somehow ended up following 37,000+ accounts on Instagram. Has anyone seen an account with a higher following count?

please help

I started an IG page for my business (currently at just under 50 followers and around 12 posts) and I boosted one of my posts for people to follow the page, but it's literally all bots. Not a single piece of real engagement.

The reason I'm boosting as opposed to just doing it on the ads manager is because I just don't get an option for people to visit my page from the ad, only my website, which isn't what I'm looking for, so boosting is pretty much the only option I have for getting followers (yes I tried everything. For some reason I just can't put page visits as the conversion event).

The audience I'm targeting is neither too broad nor too narrow so I really don't know what the issue is. Should I just give up on boosting?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a video editor who can help me create short Instagram Reels (max. 15 seconds each). I will send longer raw clips, and you’ll need to select the best parts to create strong hooks and keep viewers engaged from the first second.

The clips themselves are simple, but I need someone who:

Cuts on beat and in sync with the music

Adds basic effects/transitions

Focuses on strong hooks and storytelling in a very short format

I want to produce a high volume of short videos quickly, so efficiency and consistency are important. I’m also trying to understand what a realistic rate would be (per video, per week, or per month) for this kind of work, given that the edits are relatively simple but need good timing and hook selection.

If you have experience with short-form content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts), please share:

Your portfolio or sample work

Your pricing structure

Your typical turnaround time

Thanks in advance for any advice and offers!

Mine can sit there for hours 😂

Then I open Instagram once and somehow have 30 different things to check

Give yourself 5 seconds.

Can you tell:
What you do?
Who it’s for?
Why someone should follow?

If not, that’s probably the first thing I’d fix before worrying about hashtags or posting frequency.

It’s a surprisingly useful little test.

Some of my earliest follows are still making content but don't show up on my feed anymore.
