Tips to enhance your Instagram reach

• Time plays a significant role

If you’re posting consistently, you must have noticed your content gets more views on some days as opposed to other days. On days you receive attention, your audience remains online when you post, so you need to understand when your audience is active. You can easily do so by checking Instagram Insights.

• Engage with your followers

If you engage with your followers by replying to their comments or sharing day-to-day activities through stories, there is a higher chance they’ll notice your posts in their feed.

• Create a schedule

It is crucial to be consistent. Consistency does not mean you need to post content every day; it just means that you post content according to a schedule such as three days a week. If you are already doing this, perhaps changing your schedule can make a difference.

• Experimenting is key

Accounts that post different types of content see more reach compared to those posting the same content. If you are only posting videos and getting poor engagement, you should post pictures or reels as well. Create your schedule so that you experiment with different things.

• Host giveaways 

If you are an active Instagram user, you have probably seen your favorite creator hosting several giveaways. This can make a difference because giveaways usually require you to follow the account and tag people in the comments. Comments are a way of increasing engagement and expanding reach, so try to host giveaways regularly.

These are some tips you can use to expand your Instagram reach and get a larger audience. To sum it up, reach is purely based on how active you are, so engage with your followers by thanking them, inspiring them, and bringing a change to their lives.
