4. Engage with your audience: Reply to comments, ask questions, and interact with other users in your niche. Building relationships can help grow your following.
5. Collaborate with others: Partner with other creators, brands, or influencers in your industry to cross-promote and tap into new audiences.
6. Run Instagram ads: Boosting your top-performing organic posts with paid ads can significantly increase views and reach.
7. Use Instagram Reels and IGTV: Create short-form video content to take advantage of Instagram's algorithms favoring video.
8. Post at optimal times: Research when your audience is most active and schedule posts accordingly for maximum visibility.
9. Analyze your data: Use Instagram's analytics to see which types of content, hashtags, and posting times work best for you.
Consistency, engagement, and using Instagram's features effectively are key to steadily growing your views over time.
