Engagement hacks that I have seen working on Instagram:

1) Comments:

Always answer every single comment you get on your own posts + find 10 creators in the same niche as yourself and comment on their posts consistently. Dont comment emojies - but actually share value to the reel/picture they posted. Give your opinion! And also, pay 20usd for blue tick, it helps a lot.

2) Story polls:

Make sure to create story polls that literally anyone can answer. Ronaldo or Messi? Its simply to farm engangement, to push your story further. You can repost your newest reel in the coming story for an ekstra boost 😀

3) Let your story run out, wait a few hours and then use the poll trick above, then you will pop up in your audiences feed.

4) Consistency!

Instagram rewards active accounts, so make sure to post consistently and follow the schedule you created in Step 1.
