Q & A
What strategy has been revealed to grow an Instagram account by over 50,000 followers in a month?
-The strategy involves training your account for niche mastery, using trending audios, engaging the audience with polls in captions, optimizing captions with keywords, utilizing effects, turning off Facebook recommendations, using hashtags effectively, pinning content and comments wisely, and optimizing your Instagram bio.
How does training your Instagram account for niche mastery work?
-Training your account involves liking and saving content in your niche for a few days, which helps the explore page to show more relevant content, providing inspiration for your own posts, hashtags, and captions.
What is the significance of using trending audios in Instagram content?
-Trending audios can boost the performance of your content, as they are popular and currently being used by many users. They can be found by pressing the 'real' button and looking for audios with an upward arrow indicating they are trending.
How can polls in captions increase engagement on Instagram?
-Polls in captions allow users to interact with your post by voting, which can lead to a high number of responses and increased watch time, signaling to the algorithm that the content is engaging.
What is the recommended format for Instagram captions to maximize engagement?
-The recommended format starts with a hook (like a question), followed by advice, a story, or actionable steps that match the post. Credit the source or yourself if it's original content, include a call-to-action (CTA) to follow, and end with a relevant hashtag.
Why are effects considered underrated for increasing views on Instagram?
-Effects can significantly enhance the aesthetics of your content and are similar to trending audios in that they can provide additional exposure if they are popular and used by many users.
What is the purpose of turning off Facebook recommendations for Instagram growth?
-Turning off Facebook recommendations ensures that views and engagement are focused on Instagram itself. Views from Facebook do not contribute to growth on Instagram.
How should hashtags be used in 2024 to aid Instagram's algorithm?

Why is it important to optimize your Instagram bio for growth?

How can adding keywords on your videos help with Instagram's algorithm?
-Adding keywords as text on your videos helps the algorithm understand who your content is for and can increase the chances of it being shown to the right audience.

Transcripts
in the last 30 days one of my Instagram
accounts has grown over 50,000 followers
and it will continue growing over 50,000
followers each month of
2024 if you are able to use the strategy
which I'm about to reveal in this video
then you will be guaranteed growth this
video is in no particular order every
single detail is important I have tried
and tested this across 20 plus different
theme pages in different niches these
are the keys to growth let's go training
your account or also known as Niche
Mastery whether your account is zero
followers 5K 50k or more you need to be
doing this right now let's look at my
food page right here if I go to my
magnifying glass which is the explore
page or the reals you will see that is
only showing me food content similar to
what I post now the reason I have built
my account this way is because anytime I
need ideas whether that's for content
for hashtags for captions I can just get
inspiration at a click of a button I can
get trending audios which I know are
working right now as they're on the
explore page for my Niche and you can
literally do this with any type of
Instagram account all you need to do is
for a few days like and save content in
your Niche and after a while the explore
page will show you more and more of this
content what you need to avoid is using
your Instagram account as a personal
account only concentrate on your M and
once you start liking random other bits
it will show you those random other bits
and honestly we need to run our Pages
like a business if we want real growth
trending audios here is a full breakdown
here in my opinion is the best way to
find your trending audio so let's say
you're on your profile what you want to
do is actually press the real button in
the bottom right once you've pressed
that you will see a bunch of different
reals and in the bottom left is where
the trending audios are all the audios
now to see whether it's trending or not
you will see an arrow like that which
points up or points up to the site once
you press the audio so I've pressed
light audio it will say trending or not
if it says trending you can actually
press that and see all the top trending
audio simply scroll through you can just
press the button on the right to save it
and essentially this is a massive
catalog of what is trading that
particular day so if you want to use the
audio simply press use audio press the
button press your video and the audio is
currently being used now the next thing
is a bonus point for audios if you're
creating original content this is what I
want you to do I don't want you to find
your audio lost the audio needs to be
the first thing that you find because if
you are able to edit to a trending audio
the video will become so much better and
perform so much better when you post all
you need to do is download the real with
the trending audio put into your editing
software extract the audio then you can
edit to it then you can go back to
Instagram and press use audio and you
will have had a video that has already
edited to that audio guys that is the
best way to use trending audios any
questions let me know in the comment
section let's move over to the next one
which is going to blow your mind one of
the most important things about creating
content on Instagram is to actually
engage your audience and Instagram have
released a new feature called polls but
it's not polls on your stories it's
actually polls in your caption if we
look at this post right here you will
see that they've done a vote and they've
had
43,000 responses to this vote and it's a
simple question yes or no but imagine
the amount of Engagement that they are
getting from adding or implementing
these polls if you have this feature you
need to start using it Instagram are
rolling it out right now and I really
recommend doing this this as quickly as
possible as this will Skyrocket your
growth this account is making the most
of it right now let's say you're in the
motivation Le you can't think of what
Paul to do ask them simple questions
what's your goal for 2024 make more
money spend more time with the family
it's really that simple and a massive
massive feature for 2024 so jump on
pause in my opinion still one of the
most underrated aspects of Instagram is
the keywords and the captions the reason
you need to have a better strategy for
your caption is because Instagram wants
people to stay on your post as long as
possible so even if they stay in read
your caption for 2 3 seconds that's
going to increase your overall watch
time for that post not for the
particular reel but for the algorithm to
understand that people are actually
interested in this post here's a quick
format that you can use for your
captions the first line needs to be a
hook so for example a question the next
bulk of it I want you to give advice
tell a story give actionable steps give
a bit of substance that matches your
post under that credit whoever the
content potentially is from or if it's
original then credit yourself and then
under that is CTA about follow so follow
me for more content like this and then
under that is simple put your hashtag
it's literally that simple obviously you
can have a c if you have a product or
something but I would recommend doing
that later on when your growth is like
an aval guys don't sleep on your
captions if you need help with that bulk
bit you can simply go on to chat gbt and
get it from there use ran refiner PT to
refine it if you don't want to be add
detectable and that's the formula to
make a caption which is going to get
clicks and remember keywords are really
important so the longer your caption the
more information about your post the
more the algorithm is going to
understand what the post is about which
again is going to help it put the
content in front of the Right audience
effects this is really underrated and I
don't see enough people use this I've
seen people 3x their view simply by
adding effects now let me show you how
it works so let's say I'm posting this
reel on my food page I've got it up I'm
going to press next now you will see the
three stars at the top I will press this
button and this essentially is my
effects now effects work similar to
trending audios once there is a popular
kind of effect you will see loads of
different content under that effect so
it's kind of a similar algorithm to
training audio and you will potentially
get additional exposure and this also
Stacks with training audio Etc so
there's no harm in trying it sometimes
but let me just quickly give you some
ideas what you can do now obviously some
of the effects you know can change your
content quite drastically what I
recommend is picking some subtle ones
for example one of the really good ones
is just 4K so if you type in 4k you will
see loads of 4K fi filters or effects
and let's say you press one of them
you'll see that it doesn't really change
it that much it could even potentially
improve it but let's say for example you
know you're editing a video and you want
to make it black and white and you're on
cap cut or something and you make the
change there wait and do it here instead
as you will be using Instagram's
platform and potentially will get a
boost so when it comes to filters
effects and just the Aesthetics of your
post tried this sometimes and I
definitely think this can help newer
accounts get additional reach and even
older accounts definitely too now the
next thing is a quick one and it is to
turn off your Facebook recommendations
I've seen so many accounts going viral
but the views are coming all from
Facebook this is not going to help your
Instagram grow I've done this on
multiple accounts and it's best to
actually turn off this so turn off
Facebook recommendations you can get a
ton of views on Facebook but they won't
come to your profile so turn this off
and just focus everything onto Instagram
guys the next ones are really important
so stay tuned it wouldn't be an
Instagram video without hashtags what is
the best way to use hashtags in 2024 now
the first thing I want you to do is
understand the purpose of hashtags right
now hashtags over the years has changed
a lot in my opinion the reason to use
hashtags right now is to help the
algorithm understand who to show your
content
so for example this is basically like
keywords on steroids and what I
recommend is doing three to7 hashtags
you don't want to overpopulate the
hashtags and confuse the algorithm and
you will often see big accounts not
posting any hashtags at all because
they've already established with the
algorithm who Their audience is so it's
great for smaller accounts to use
hashtags but to teach the algorithm who
to show your content to now what I
recommend is doing a few which are
single word and a few which are two or
three words if you're putting multiple
words in your hashtags like # I went on
a boat trip you know that is not going
to help you at all let's focus on what
I've just mentioned and you will see
that your hashtags become a lot more
useful to you pinned content now for
this there are two types which I'm going
to discuss there is the PIN reals or
content at the top of your feed and
there is the pinned comments now the
first thing is pinned comments if you
have a post which is per per forming
exceptionally well is going viral this
is what I want you to do I want you with
your account to write a comment like
follow us for more and pin that comment
some viral posts get thousands of
comments and if people see a CT by the
account creator that incentivize people
to follow then you utilizing your PIN to
the Max and it's really that simple be
smart with your pins you don't need to
add them to all your posts but as soon
as you start seeing momentum you can add
some pins with CT saying follow us for
more or click the link in my bio which
again you should be doing later on and
the final thing is with pinned content
do not pin content as soon as it starts
taking off what I want you to do is wait
30 days once it starts dying down then
you can pin it to the top of your
profile and that's how you use pins your
Instagram bio now so many of you are
losing followers because you are not
using your bio properly so use this
section wisely what we want to do with
our bio is to capture Sol's attention
and incentivize them to follow our
account speak to them why should they
follow you if you are still seeking
growth then do not use your bio to sell
this is the biggest mistake that I see
people do here is how to build a good
bio your name should be keywords that
are potentially searchable so people are
going to search and you potentially will
come up if your account is called
Finance mindset then you don't need to
put Finance mindset there again but
something like Finance money motivation
keywords which match the content that
you will be posting for line one in your
bio describe your account describe what
your brand is about line two value what
value are you going to provide to your
potential follower why should they
follow you line three Community focused
don't put follow me follow us be smarter
what I've been doing is join the family
or join the community join the
Brotherhood whatever it might be make it
more appealable and focus on the
community aspect if you do your bio like
this you will increase the conversions
of fers and guys I don't want to see
long lines it needs to be simple clean
sharp people come on to your profile and
and will make a decision in a matter of
seconds you don't want to make it too
long stick to it it takes time to create
a good bio don't rush it and if you ever
want us to review your bio have any
questions or anything make sure you join
my Discord or communities so that we can
help you build the perfect bio but trust
me you can do it yourself using this
strategy okay guys so the last one is
key words on your videos or on your
content so I'm posting my rule right now
and this is another way to help the
algorithm understand who to show your
content to so let's say I press next
what you want to do is press the text
button and typee in who your content is
for so for example if my content is
about pizza and I want to show it to
people who like pizza I will type pizza
and you can see my text right there what
I want to do is make that text as small
as possible so you just literally make
it tiny and essentially you are putting
keywords on your video to help the
algorithm and it's literally that simple
you can put like one or two if you add
everything that we've done in this video
you will be on track for growth guys my
