✅ 1. Pick a Clear Niche
Instagram rewards consistency. Your niche tells the algorithm who to show you to.
- Examples: Fitness, Fashion, AI tips, Motivational reels, Cooking, Skincare, Memes
- Don’t be everything. Be known for one thing.
📅 2. Post Consistently (3–5x per week)
Focus on Reels (video is king), but mix in:
- Carousels (for value-packed info or storytelling)
- Stories (for engagement + behind-the-scenes)
- Lives (to build community)
Use AI tools to batch content:
- ChatGPT → Captions, Reel ideas, hooks
- Canva → Carousels & video templates
- CapCut or Pictory → Easy Reel editing
- Metricool / Later → Scheduling
📊 3. Follow the “Hook + Value + CTA” Formula for Reels
Example (for fitness):
Hook: “Why your workouts aren’t working…”
Value: Explain what’s wrong & how to fix it
CTA: “Save this for your next gym session 💪”
🧠 4. Use Smart Hashtags & Keywords
Instagram’s algorithm now understands search intent.
Do:
- Use a mix of niche & broad hashtags (#LegDayTips, #FitnessMotivation)
- Put keywords in your bio, post captions, and alt text
- Try AI hashtag tools: Flick, ChatGPT, Inflact
💬 5. Engage (It’s a Two-Way Street)
Instagram favors creators who:
- Reply to comments fast
- React to DMs
- Comment on others’ posts in your niche
Engagement = reach.
📈 6. Track What Works
- Use Instagram Insights weekly
- Double down on content that gets:
- Saves
- Shares
- Profile visits
- Kill what flops
🤖 BONUS: Use AI to Scale
- ChatGPT: Content strategy, captions, bios, comment replies
