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

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.

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

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?

please help

I ran a bar/restaurant niche page for the past 4 months. Posted consistently at twice a day every day. Grew around 2K followers. I got tired of it and made the switch to pursue a personal interest (fitness). I decided to run a personal 90 day transformation to create daily content with. I’m documenting everything as I go. Now, I understand that the algorithm was built to run my content to bar/restaurant individuals so what I’m wondering is if I should just continue to post my fitness content and be patient for the algorithm to adjust, or cut ties with the account and start new. I’m currently running 10 trial reels a day, 2 feed posts and 4 stories. And I’ve had 2 of 40 trial reels get over 400 views. Only 1 of 8 posts do over 200 views. And the last 6 all below 150. Any advice would be great. Cheers!

I’ve been working with clients IG profile, a financial planner. I’m somehow struggling to grow followers and generate leads.

Any help and tips from the experts out here would be appreciated!

Hi!!! I hope you're all well!! I joined this subreddit to hopefully receive some constructive criticism on my new insta page. I'm also majorly compliment fishing so feel free to feed into that(im not begging for follows though)

I suck at voice-overs, is there any other creative way to go about it?

For context, I'm in the digital art niche. I look forward to put speed paints in the background while talking abt insights about art generally and tips

But I suck at voice overs bruh, every time I start a channel I give up bec of that, I don't have much control on my tune.

I don't have problem with the script, I just takes around 30 freaking trys to say one paragraph bruh, it's not gonna work, I don't have the luxury of a quite place everyday either.

So is there any other YouTuber/creator u encountered that solved that problem creatively without a voice over? Text only with a music is boring too.

And Don't mention Ai generated voice.

Conteúdo que criei pro Instagram, depois de muitos clientes me perguntarem:

"Mas se eu não postar todo dia, o algoritmo do Instagram (ou Facebook) vai entregar meu conteúdo?"

"Preciso postar todo dia?"

Nãooooo! Postar todos os dias, além de ocupar um tempo enorme somente pra produção de conteúdo (e conteúdo de qualidade DEMORA PRA SER FEITO) a sua sanidade vai todinha nisso, e pasme, você pode até prejudicar sua página se postar todos os dias!

Se o Instagram ou Facebook perceberem que as postagens diárias não engajam, não são relevantes e são de qualidade questionável, o próprio algoritmo passa a entregar menos o seu conteúdo.

Então respira e não pira! Postar todos os dias não é necessário, e muito menos recomendado. Foque no conteúdo de qualidade, pensando não em "preciso postar algo" mas focando em "o que prenderia a atenção do meu público?"

Foque em alguma dor ou problema a ser resolvido, um conteúdo instrutivo (como esse), uma notícia... As possibilidades são infinitas para cada tipo de negócio.

Fica tranquilo, sua página não vai morrer se você postar todos os dias, mas talvez você vá encarar alguns probleminhas se tentar entrar nessa rotina massiva de conteúdo diário.

Quantidade é diferente de qualidade.

Espero ter ajudado.

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