Top 5 Reasons Why Your Instagram Post Didn’t Reach Your Audience, According to Instagram’s Boss Man 👇

⚡ Half of your followers simply didn’t open Instagram that day
⚡ Some who did open the app didn’t stay long enough to see your post
⚡ Instagram’s algorithm may have ranked your post lower than usual
⚡ Your content could be flagged by a safety filter
⚡ Your audience’s interest in your content may have shifted

Now, while the first 3 reasons are largely out of your control, the last 2 offer some opportunities for improvement.

🔍 For Safety Measures: You can check if your content was flagged by going to Profile > Settings > Account Status. Look out for any flagged content.

✨ To Boost Audience Interest: Try these tips:

Experiment and Double Down – Review your analytics, spot patterns in high-engagement posts, and focus on what’s working well.
Ask Your Audience – Use interactive tools like Stories to ask what they want to see more of, and bring their preferences into your content.
⚠️ A Note for Businesses: Instagram’s advice is often geared toward creators rather than businesses, so keep your business priorities in focus. Don’t forget to highlight your products and services and make those sales! 🚀

✨ Planning your content in advance means you're always ready to engage with your audience and make the most of important dates throughout the month! Here are some key dates in November you might want to consider adding to your content strategy:

📅 1 November - World Vegan Day: Share plant-based options, promote vegan products, or celebrate sustainable choices!

🔥 5 November - Bonfire Night: Nostalgia, cozy vibes, and safety tips for pets make for seasonal posts that resonate.

🎖️ 11 November - Remembrance Day: Honor and remember those who served with a message of gratitude.

💙 13 November - World Kindness Day: Showcase kindness, spotlight a partner business, or share community stories.

🤝 Anti-Bullying Week (11th–15th): A chance to promote inclusivity, kindness, and community support.

💼 29 November - Black Friday: Run specials, showcase your top products, or offer exclusive discounts.

🏪 30 November - Small Business Saturday: A day to celebrate and support local businesses – a perfect opportunity to connect with your community.

Planning these dates ahead means more intentional, engaging, and impactful content! 🎯 Need help with your content strategy? Let SHADE handle the details!

🚨New Feature Alert!!🚨

Instagram is launching profile cards to give you a more visual, customisable way to share your Instagram profile and connect with friends. You can find yours by tapping “Share Profile” on your profile.

You can edit the background of your QR code like I have by clicking the edit button!

If you’re always on the go like I am—whether at an event or perspective clients can be anywhere—this feature is a game changer. Instead of handing out business cards that might end up tossed, just grab your phone, open your profile card, and let others scan your QR code. They’ll have instant access to options like following your account or visiting your website.

Consistency is key! 🌟 How ironic is this as I come out of an almost two day social media hiatus 🤓 HOWEVER Showing up consistently on social media, especially on your stories, can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. 📱💬 It’s more than just posting regularly—it’s about building trust, staying top-of-mind, and fostering meaningful connections with your audience. When you show up consistently: 1️⃣ Build Trust: Your audience learns to rely on you for valuable content, which enhances credibility and loyalty. 2️⃣ Stay Relevant: Regular updates keep your brand fresh in the minds of your followers, increasing engagement and visibility. 3️⃣ Drive Engagement: Consistent interaction prompts more likes, comments, and shares, boosting your reach and social proof. 4️⃣ Grow Audience: Algorithms favor active accounts, so consistent posting can help you reach new potential followers. Remember, consistency doesn’t mean you have to post every hour—it means finding a rhythm that works for you and your audience. Whether it’s daily stories updates or weekly check-ins, stay committed to showing up authentically and providing value. 🌟 How do you stay consistent on social media?

It’s true.. Social media is changing. 😱 But the real truth is, it has never stopped changing. 👀 And for most people, that feels overwhelming and stressful! How are you supposed to keep up? 😵‍💫 Let me let you in on a little secret.. 🤫 It’s not about keeping up. It’s always been about your message, enjoying the journey, creating really beautiful, thoughtful, engaging content, adapting and evolving your business, building and nurturing a community, and delivering incredible results for your clients or customers. 🤷🏼‍♀️ So yeah, social media changes. Life changes. Welcome to the real world 😉🖤 If your entire goal is to have a business that never has to change and evolve over time… you don’t have a business (or you won’t have a business for long). TLDR: Change doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Lean in 🫵🏼👏🏼 . . . #SocialMediaEvolution #AdaptOrDie #EmbraceChange #BusinessGrowth #CommunityBuilding #EngagingContent #DigitalTransformation #StayRelevant #BusinessAdaptation #EmbraceTheJourney #BusinessEvolution #SocialMediaTrends #InnovateOrStagnate #AdaptabilityIsKey #CommunityEngagement #ClientSuccess
