Would you recommend starting a new account if you bought followers a while ago?

[@thecuratedfeminine]

Thank you Natalie. Always with the valuable content ❤❤

[@SamVanderWielen]

Loved this video! Very encouraging for people new to IG (and with its ever-changing algorithm).

[@Mygardeofgrief1680]

Thank you for sharing this video. I'm brand new to the social media world...well sorta...always used it for my personal use but I feel strongly to be an Influencer. I desire to encourage & strengthen in grief, loss & mental health. I have my own personal story of grief & trauma & I desire to turn it into something good for others who are hurting, grieving & life trials & adversities. I have Instagram & KZbin. I am brand new on KZbin. So brand new there. I have SO much to learn. My following is extremely small. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I'm trying to learn your techniques but i do feel greatly overwhelmed

[@KitSouther]

These were great! Thank you, Natalie!

[@Carlosediaz543]

Hi Natalie! Thank you so much for this video! It was so helpful I’ve ran into the issue of following way to many people any advice on how to fix that ratio I found that I’m not necessarily liking much of the content on my feed anymore.

[@neusperis5336]

Your videos are so good!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@amberpaniagua9164]

I needed this today ❤️ Great video

[@GardeningInCanada]

Fingers cross I can get my science-based plant tips out there, I am a soil scientist trying to dispel myths about houseplants and the garden, it's hard to cut through the noise.

[@talbjr]

What's your Instagram?. I can shoot you a follow for support :).

[@VictoriaVaden]

I could use an account like yours! Please share your IG!! 🙏🏽

Your business sounds amazing! It took me so long and so much research to stop killing plants, and I know I'm not alone! Following you on IG right now!

[@MyScheduledBiz]

Definitely buying fake followers is not the way to truly grow your Instagram account, thank you so much for mentioning this in your video. Posting on a regular and consistent basis is the way to grow your account, it may take time, but it will last longer once you get there.

[@SamVanderWielen]

Slow and steady for sure! I think offering authentic, useful content, and being patient is the way to go!

[@thecrossfam5768]

thank yoouuu so much!! going to apply all of these tips on our Instagram

[@makingmemories1001]

Thanks for making this video, very informative!

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

this was great! thank you!

[@YamillaPoort]

Love this! Too bad that IG doesnt show shares in the EU due to privacy rules… it would help so much more to see and learn what works 😩

[@DevBossMa]

Wooow 😲 you really make my day 😘 thanks a lot @Natalie 🙏🙏🙏💚

[@catherinesvbialosh7260]

Just Subscribed and such a great video…Are you able to do a video on how to get paid for your content and which companies are the safest to use

[@bhimpokhrel4059]

Absolutely good video. Great tips.

[@Pixydust143]

Hi Natalie, I was wondering have you or Boss Babe in general invested in Stocks? If you have could you maybe do a video of how and the approach you used 🙈. Pretty pretty please. It would be awesome to get your insight :) ✌️💖

[@resilientbodies]

Yes I like this idea very much!

[@iam.aliceveneziani]

Hi Natalie! thank you for your video they are always so helpful 💙🙏🏻 I have a question about shares, I'm italian and European laws of privacy don't make me see how many shares I got for post, reeel, Igtv.... Is there a way to know that? 😭

[@kenzieshea_]

I love your hair!

[@Expand2Market]

Thanks for sharing these with us. We all have made them at some point, and that's why I started a KZbin channel to help new entrepreneurs to learn from my mistakes so keep doing more of these contents.

[@Mygardeofgrief1680]

Thank you for that. I will go check out your channel. I'm so brand new to KZbin, only a month on it, started up my new channel & already had Instagram but a very small following still.

[@Shine2kristel]

Thank you!!!

[@savannahk3585]

Very helpful information! But honestly Instagram exhausts me😩

[@ojassvhathayoga209]

Amazing

[@jayhoovy]

This is a fantastic video! I make a lot of content that is about how creators grow through their business(es) as well - pumped to see others making stuff in the same space :)

[@Mygardeofgrief1680]

I will have to come check out your videos. I'm so brand new to social media and just starting my channel

[@MarketingHarry]

Make sure you avoid some of these common mistakes and you won't have any growing issues! 🙂

[@randomdm]

Thanks Nat 👍

[@prachsansare4675]

How did you curate & post UGC while growing your accounts on Instagram…. Like do you need permission or use repost app or any other method?

[@fishdjiop]

Does anyone know if you are more likely to get blocked if you don't have high engagement on Instagram? I keep getting thrown in Instagram jail for liking and commenting too much much. But I actually only follow and like a few times a day so when I go to message someone I get shutdown for a week. I am wondering if because I am not Instafamous if they automatically think I am a bot. Been going insane trying to not get shut down unnecessarily.

[@miriamegh]

What do you do when an account has bought followers and you've repented. Do you delete all those bots or.... Please help

[@ladicioustv4067]

Thanks alot

[@cassa3012]

This is so helpful! I needed to hear this especially because today I was looking at my IG account thinking why is it growing so slow. After five months, I'm only at 460 followers. I avoid follow for follow as much as possible but I notice that other accounts in my niche are growing faster. One account grew from 900 followers to 4,600 followers in a week and went viral, so I don't know. But these tips were very helpful.

[@Mygardeofgrief1680]

Oh how I can relate to your struggle. Much so. It's interesting isn't it, what goes viral and what doesn't. How some seem to just get the audience yet their content is not very good. Maybe my opinion is just that far off from mainstream. I am so brand new to KZbin, just started my channel a month ago. Instagram had as a personal account/private but only 2 weeks ago opened it up to the public. I have SO much to learn. Good luck with your business & growth. I'm praying over us new online influences! I believe God wants to bless this & grow for His Kingdom glory. There is much good being done on social media, much encouragement & a community of real people. Be blessed & well

[@cassa3012]

@@Mygardeofgrief1680 Yes, I agree. I have noticed that as well. Some don't have the best content but go viral. It's very interesting! Yes, Amen!!! Thank you!! I pray the Lord helps us!!! I love decor and prayed several months ago about whether I should go ahead and open a home decor account. I felt that God say go but it's been so slow that sometimes I wonder. I always tell myself slow and steady wins the race. =)

[@BigSexyThePromoter]

if you bought likes and followers is there anything you can do or undo so you can try to fix those engagement issues

[@camila.alonso]

Hey Natalie, what about the fake followers the algorithm provides as followers?

[@sxhia5342]

Hey I posted a reel after some time the audio is unavilable , why

[@ivanfrangugic8355]

Hi i am new subscriber and i'm just starting up. I always dreamed about haveing my own company and became motivational speaker.

[@Jennxevans]

Hi Natalie! I honestly feel like I need to have a 1v1 lesson with you. I have been on Instagram for about 2 years now and my growth is very very slow. I post consistently, the content I make I think is good and I'm very interactive with my audience. I am missing something, but I truly cannot figure out what it is.

[@Lafiorebeauty]

Same with me :(

[@HarleyGeezer1954]

I am still fumbling around trying to use this platform to support my KZbin channel. I just found out everything has to be on my phone. I want to put a custom video up for my channel. Am I wasting my time or is it a good idea.

[@Mygardeofgrief1680]

I can so relate to your concern. I just started my channel a month ago and I have SO much to learn. SO much. I'm brand new to KZbin so that isn't helping me at all. This is a long haul job. Nothing quick & fast about this is what I've discovered. I think consistency is the main thing. We will learn so much as we continue to keep trying. I'm not creative at all, so that is my big hurdle. I desire to encourage others in trials, grief, mental health, life, love & loss, adversities.....joy & sorrow.... I'll be praying over you Harley that you will have success in your new channel! This space is huge, plenty of room for us!

[@LuvOfLalaland]

What to do to grow?

[@_yashika]

One of my posts got removed recently as it was wrongly reported. Now i am shadowbanned my account isnt showing up in search whenever we search its keywords like it used to, they took my eligibility for branded content and I had a massive engagement drop was getting above 3k impressions from hashtags everyday now its down to 30 impressions from hashtags. Is there a way I can get rid of this shadowban? will it stay like this forever? please help

[@Mygardeofgrief1680]

Oh my, this sounds not good. I've not heard of this before....I have SO much to learn. I'm brand new to KZbin, channel only a month old. New on Instagram too...I'm sorry this has happened to you, it sounds very frustrating for sure. Good luck, be blessed & well

[@_yashika]

@@Mygardeofgrief1680 it is insanely frustrating. There are so many people posting inappropriate stuff on there and nothing happens to them. My content never had anything bad in it i made posts similar to the one which got down in the past and all of those performed very well so there was nothing inappropriate. This time somebody reported it don't know why and Instagram blindly removed it and ruined the whole account.

[@annamaeoro34]

How can we know if the follower is fake or not? Can you give us some tips on how to identify fake followers? Thank you!

[@Mygardeofgrief1680]

I like this question

[@VictoriaVaden]

Usually the ones without a profile picture, and a username with a ton of numbers

[@chantefourie4768]

I feel like my Instagram acc aren't growing because I don't use photo edit on my photos I also don't really use alot of make up....most of the people on Instagram you meet in person and they look nothing like on the photos 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️....

[@SamVanderWielen]

I don't wear any makeup, and my IG grew to way more than I ever dreamed it would back when just my mom and sister were following me. 😆People tend to love authenticity, so stick with it and offer valuable content - the followers will come in time.

[@emiicooper1877]

I literally can't grow my Instagram 😂 it's actually painful! I've been stuck at 147 followers for ages 🥺🥺 thanks for the video, I'll try your tips.

[@SamVanderWielen]

Hang in there! For the LONGEST time, my followers were just my family, but then it grew (slowly) into what it is today. Patience is the hardest part!

[@igfollowers5551]

Kilye buying follower then who we are !!!

[@volkerwanderung1426]

How come you only support ambitious women and not men?

[@Beautyby_Kourtney]

I’m not able to change my profile picture. I reported it already.

[@Verbsdescribeus]

Not posting is better than posting 10 posts a day, dear Natalie... Instagram does not want you to be a spammer...

[@drrecommended4850]

Sounds really empty and time consuming

[@fhdfaysofficial]

My Instagram lack reels can anyone help me
