[@Ryansmith-ny1zu]

Aaron, when starting off small to growing a IG is it better to put the account on private and use the private method to grow or stay public/business account ?

[@itsaaronward]

@@Ryansmith-ny1zu I always recommend going public so people can see your content,as it's the main factor as to why people follow you: is your content of interest, and is it high quality/interesting?

[@tannerludwig7895]

Aaron Ward love the video. Wanted to ask how do you keep up with the algorithm changes? Is there a certain website or What do you look at exactly?

[@itsaaronward]

@@tannerludwig7895 There's no real way to keep up. Sometimes (very rarely) Instagram releases a statement or information about the platform. But really as I mention in this video things won't actually change much as their business model would have to completely flip too.

[@gakisstav496]

Aaron Ward Hello! Started to receiving messages from IG that started to removing inauthentic likes, follows etc. Do you think that Jarvee will soon have a problem? Thanx!

[@TheOneGoodRoad]

Finally a video where someone is explaining and teaching.. Rather than saying constantly "dont forget guys to like and subscribe, and follow me everywhere! (For 10mins...)" Nice job mate thanks for the tips!

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks I'm glad the tips helped! I generally try to save the whole subscribe for more at the end hahah as I like to focus on the important stuff first :)

[@MERGELosAngeles]

It's rare nowadays!

[@plantbasedethos5726]

Exactly always beggin jeje, so annoying

[@mindcyina4873]

this vid with mysocialking dot com works wonders

[@AshleyGriffyn]

I feel stupid for asking questions on my Instagram posts and NO ONE ANSWERS. ☹️

[@NellieBelle]

Haha! Me too.

[@littlelily4]

😂😂 I guess if I did that I would have the same results^^

[@gravitatieconstante8974]

try to be part of a good engagement group (10 people max and if it is possible follow each other) , with the time the followers will answer you

[@Choowy]

That's the difference between a successful & non successful person /page. Successful people /pages aren't afraid of looking stupid, they embrace it. Just stay consistent and they'll eventually respond to your captions.

[@semirzeynu805]

Build a relationship first, then step by step you can ask questions, you cannot do that without building a relationship.

[@GoodLifeCollege]

Summary: 5 Steps to post algorithm friendly: #1 - Upload best posts to outperform others #2 - Use consistent style on your channel #3 - Get people commenting with Questions #4 - Post when followers are active #5 - Get other users tag you
