1/ How to grow on Instagram

A thread
2/ Define your niche & positioning. Define your audience.

That’s the key of your Instagram growth. Also key for your business.

Two birds, one stone.

What are the audiences biggest painpoints?

What are their dreams?

What’s holding them back?
3/ Chase the Smallest Viable Audience, not the biggest one. @ThisIsSethsBlog

What is the minimum amount of people you need to survive?

Let’s start there. Then we can worry about growth and scale.

Which brings me to the next point.
4/ Don’t try to grow.

Focus on helping your current audience.

If you serve them with so much good content that they’re surprised it’s free, you’ll grow.

Ask yourself: would people actually pay for this content?

If yes, you’re on the right track.
5/ Understand the platform you’re posting for, in this case, Instagram.

The algorithm must understand your account’s topic. Teach it.

The algorithm shows your content to people who already engaged with you (like, comment, share, save)

Or

Have the highest chance of engaging.
6/ Which brings me to posting consistently and persistently in your niche (see 2 in thread)

Consistency builds rapport, momentum and trust.

Post 1x a day at minimum, 5x a day max (on Instagram feed)

For stories, post as much as you want, but keep it short & tight.
7/ Hashtags:

Use 30 niche hashtags on every post.

#marketing is bad (60M posts, no chance you’ll rank high).

#contentmarketing is great (~2M posts or so. Good ranking chances)

Hashtags under 2M are almost always good. Start there.
8/ Track your hashtags.

Flick is a great app that tells you which hashtags are working for you.

This way you can optimize your hashtag strategy.

Reuse the best and drop the rest.

That’s my motto.

Use Flick: flick.tech/?fpr=david17
9/ Partnerships

This is a big one. If your content is good, partner up!

Buy a shoutout.
Go live together.
Create a guest post.

It hurts me how many people sleep on this and complain they’re not growing.

Partnerships are the boost you need, especially in the beginning!
10/ Make money

If you’re not making money off of Instagram, chances are you’ll get unmotivated fast.

I make money ONLY from Instagram.

Of course I’m active and growing.

Ask people to DM you.

Conversions happen in coversations.
