Instagram has been making a push to support creators and people who are actively making amazing content for their Instagram following by making changes and updates to the platform such as prioritizing REELS and offering more ways for creators to be able to monetize their pages.
And while these changes seem benevolent for creators - the real motive is because those creators help to increase the time consumers spend using Instagram platform ā±
Remember, Instagram is a business, they want people using their platform because they make money by selling them ads š°
So, when a new update comes out - like the story collapse - Instagram is simply trying to weed out the people who arenāt making good content š
Thatās why it's more important than ever to make Instagram story content people will want to stay and engage with āļø
In this week's blog we share 7 Instagram Story Hacks for Better Engagement to give you some ideas to help (link in bio š¦)

Random approaches to social media lead to random results. Real success on social media comes from creating a solid strategy.
Each brand should have their own unique strategy that takes into account their industry, niche, ICA, personality, and goals.
Then it should be supported by optimized hashtags, REELs creation, engaging content, and consistent posting.
If youāve found yourself typing any of the above questions into your search bar, weāve got some tips for you:
1. Define your core brand topics
2. Outline your ideal client avatar (ICA)
3. Figure out how your ICA likes to consume content.
4. Create content that provides a ton of value
5. Watch your analytics
6. Search for hashtags that your ideal client/customer would be looking for in that niche, then break it down to subtopics and create groups of 15-20 tags for each.
7. Search for an arrow pointing āupā next to the music label on REELs - this tells you the audio is trending
8. Spend time each day responding to comments on your posts and commenting on posts of your ideal clients for targeted engagement
And if youāre still finding yourself using your search bar to figure out how Instagram works, we designed a membership to help save you a ton of time....

Buying followers is one of the worst things you can do for your Instagram.
You might think you need a large following to seem legitimate, but the truth is your legitimacy comes from the content you produce.
If your followers are fake, theyāre not going to be interacting with your content, which signals to Instagram your content isnāt with seeing, so itās not even going to push it to people who would actually be interested in it.
Vanity metrics are just a small part of the Instagram algorithm.
Back-end metrics like reach and engagement are so much more important than how many followers you have.
š¦šBuild your tribe, donāt buy it.

If you haven't heard the buzz, Instagram recently announced that people should stop focusing on hashtags as a strategy to grow their page š¤
Before you freak outā¦.let us assure you hashtags ARE a great strategy to grow your page on Instagram.
The problem here is two fold.ā¦
Other IG experts who are jumping on this bandwagon and telling you that hashtags are inconsistent, unreliable and not a great strategy for growth, simply donāt understand how they work.
Anytime Instagram realizes people are using different strategies or tactics to āhackā the system, they will try and level the playing field again. This is why you heard about them supposedly cracking down on engagement groups awhile back. They want to keep people like us from gamifying their system to increase our organic reach and growth.
The truth is- they absolutely workā¦..IFā¦ā¦ youāre using them correctly.
Optimized hashtags are one of the BEST ways to get in front of potential new followers.
This is one of the main strategies we use at Capture to grow our clients pages organically.
And how we are growing this page @yoursocialbuttefly_ on Instagram.
Donāt believe usā¦ head to our stories to see a few case studies of our results using our hashtag method :)

if you can relate!
We've all gone down the rabbit hole of scrolling way back through someone's feed at some point - we're getting to know them, we like their content, we're vetting them... it's all innocent browsing until you accidentally hit the "like" button!
Don't worry, you're not alone!
Yyyyy thoooo š
The best way to train your followers to stop engaging is to post boring, vanilla or irrelevant content.
This is why the pre- made content calendars people try to sell onlineĀ Ā are no beunoā¦ because people can tell you didnāt put any thought into your content and youāre just posting to āpostā.
You know, the content calendars that tell you the daily, weekly, and national holidays like #Nationalhotdogday.
Nobody cares about hot dogs and pizza, and posts like this will only kill your page in the long run.
You donāt HAVE to post every day... and unless youāre inspired to put out amazing content, you SHOULDNāT.
Insteadā¦ focus on quality over quantity.
šÆ Clearly define your core brand topics to use in your content planning.
š Every post should provide infotainment. This means every time you post you should be educating, inspiring or entertaining your audience. Best if you mix up all 3!
ā³ Take some time and put thought into your content. Great posts can take time to create.. And yes, good captions can take a couple of hours to write! Your audience would rather see GREAT content less frequently than boring, vanilla content every day.
