If you’re looking to boost your Instagram engagement, you’re not alone. Engagement on Instagram is crucial to growing your account. But it isn’t always easy. With an algorithm that is ever-changing, it can make things a tad difficult. Even if you create some good engagement for awhile you might not be able to sustain it once the algorithm changes.
You don’t need to despair, there are plenty of different tips to help you improve your engagement on Instagram, and keep it growing. So let’s go through some of those.
Spend Time Engaging With Other Accounts In Your Niche
Engagement breeds engagement. You can’t just post content and expect to receive a lot of engagement. Even if your content is strong, it won’t be as visible if you’re not taking the time to do the same thing for other accounts. Everybody wants engagement.
The type of engagement is just as important as the engagement itself. Don’t just like posts on a million different accounts. Choose accounts that actually interest you, and give them some solid engagements. Comment on the posts, with a meaningful one. Tell them what’s great about their product or offer some tips.
This type of engagement will be sure to have them return to your page to engage as well.
Choose The Proper Time To Engage
Engaging is important but choosing the best times to engage that will ensure that the good gesture is returned is just as important. The best times to engage are right before you post and directly after you post.
This way your most recent posts are likely to receive engagement. The algorithm will also recognize that you’ve posted around the time of commenting, and they’re likely to put your post on the news feed for the other pages that you’re engaging with.
Use Plenty Of Images
Of course, Instagram is filled with images. But not always ones that stick out, or stop people from scrolling. Share pictures of you and your team being silly. Share pictures of satisfied customers that you’ve helped out.
Take some captivating pictures that show your fun side. These are the posts that stop users in their tracks and they get more engagement.
Reply To Comments As Quickly As Possible
Replying to comments is a great way to engage with users and also keep your post high on Instagram’s feed. As soon as you get a notification announcing that someone has commented on one of your posts, drop what you’re doing and reply with a friendly comment.
The main thing you’re trying to do with these comments is to draw the user in. Make them a part of the conversation. Don’t reply with a “Thanks”, that’s a conversation killer. What you want to do is reply with a question. And when they comment, answer again. Keep the conversation going as long as possible.
By using these methods you will boost your Instagram engagement, and gain more followers as well as new friends. Stay active, and keep people in the conversation.
