EXACTLY How The Instagram Algorithm WORKS in 2020 (Must Know To Gain Followers)

[@itsaaronward]

I hope you find this video helpful! 😃 Let me know what tips you're using to organically grow your Instagram account 👍 Join my Free Instagram Marketing Training Here 👉 aaronward.com/instagram

[@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]

wow ! it is really rare when I see a complete video without feeling bored, an amazing way of explaining , thanks a lot

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks :)

[@jayxreeves]

Great video Aaron! You completely woke me up to the fact that Instagram has one goal: Show people more ads by keeping you on the platform longer. Definitely changed my mindset about how to approach what content to post....

[@itsaaronward]

Glad to have provided a new insight for you!

[@rowdymafimiliaent.546]

people go on my profile and like pics but dont follow me ( @_Rwdy__ )

[@nivahankede6656]

I have watched plenty videos on YT but YOU are such an insightful person!! Clear and helpful 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks! Glad I make it clear for you :)

[@There_Will_Be_Bond]

Aaron you have nailed this. A very concise video. No fluff, informational. Congrats pal, will look to sign up to the course when I get home. Pb

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks!

[@marcodelia97]

that is so nice Aaron, it's right and I'm gaining more and more followers by acknowledging how instagram works

[@cristianodesade680]

Thank you bro for this information. I did learn a lot from it. I also appreciate the fact that you are presenting it with professional manner and not being "clown" as many on KZbin are.

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks Cristiano, glad you liked the video!

[@ImDigginJesus]

Thank you! On video three on your course now - applying the tips and they are already helping. Got 30 followers yesterday so Im almost at 2K mark. Thank you so much!

[@itsaaronward]

Love to hear that it's working great for you :) Keep going!

[@marzz181]

Omg this was the best explanation I’ve seen on here. Now I know exactly what I need to do. Thanks a million!!

[@itsaaronward]

No problem Marzz :) I'm glad I helped!

[@iamsij]

If our followers are spread across countries then what standard time does the "followers most active" show?

[@itsaaronward]

It will show the standard for all your followers as an average. It will then be based on your local time.

[@dgfinternational4743]

Thank you for a clear, comprehensive video where the presenter doesn't waffle on at a million miles an hour. Great job. I will be looking at your courses next!

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks DGF! Looking forward to having you join the course :)

[@sherrymoore2328]

This was most useful and helped to demystify Instagram's algorithm! I am an instant fan of Aaron ward. Thank you very much!!!

[@nehemiahstafford209]

My greatest takeaway was to spend more time engaging with your followers. Thanks Aaron!

[@phyziquesingapore1082]

Loved the video. Have had my Instagram account for awhile but have not been using it to its full potential. Now i have a better understanding.

[@Travelingmaven]

There is the creator account option now. Is that better than the business account option?

[@MERGELosAngeles]

The fastest + most effective way that we have seen work is running ads, no really talks about it though. For example: Sponsored IG Posts, Stories, and running videos on large audience pages ⚡⚡⚡

[@MINHxDYNASTY]

Yeah, making like a trailer and then running that as an ad!

[@pelatihfinansial]

Do you have any suggestion about what kind of video work best for instagram?

[@ThaiRoundhouse]

How do so many people know what the Instagram algorithm is? Is there a place to read what the algorithm is and updates to any changes made?

[@andreasjohansson9251]

I would like to know this as well. Is Instagram transparent with this?

[@ThaiRoundhouse]

@@andreasjohansson9251 Yeah, after reading into this more the algorithm is proprietary and not made to the public. That's why I don't like these videos. They say this stuff like it is gospel and like they are privy to special information, when they are basically just speculating.

[@milliamwm1147]

Personally I watch a few videos and pick out the information that is repeated in each then I apply it to my instagram and it works. He has done his research and is watching the patterns that bring results

[@IamCasper]

no reaction here ... what does that mean?

[@denziioo]

This is rehashed content. Also clickbaity. Because one does not know EXACTLY how IG works unless he/she is an IG employee or programmer

[@themannycabo]

Great Share Aaron. Trying to build my channel for my fellow musicians and this video was truly helpful!!!

[@towendyseye]

Aaron- keeping it simple. Thank you, heading over to your course now.

[@gabeb967]

Thanks for posting it man. I have lost 150 followers and then gained back a 100, now I know why:)

[@itsaaronward]

No worries, they did a weird clean up and a glitch happened recently where everyone lost followers and regained them. Always odd bug's happening :)

[@masterphotog4131]

Thank you Aaron for this great and easy-to-understand video, keep up the good work!

[@jojominong8943]

Amazing! Concise, articulate presentation. Thank you, Aaron Ward 👏👏👏.

[@ropakka9457]

Thanks for the video! Itas great. One thing I don't agree on, though. I wouldn't recommend changing to a business account. It decreases engagement because of course Instagram wants people to pay for advertising their stuff.

[@christophersall9862]

Thank you! Excellent content, very helpful information and insights 👍

Great video mate! Super insightful 🙌🏽

[@travelbeib]

Liked & Subs. Thank you so much for all of the helpful informations Aaron. Lately, I just realized there were 250 spam accounts that followed me. So I report & block them. Do you have any idea why that happen? And also, I just realized that IG automatically follow/unfollow accounts without me knowing. I just know that because there were a lot of friends that complained and asked why I unfollow them. Which I did not. So after that, I had to check one by one, all of my following/followers. It turns out there’s a lot following that I did not follow. It felt like I’ve been hijack by IG. Do you know why this happen Aaron? Or does anybody experiencing the same way too?

[@itsaaronward]

I'm not sure about the accounts you were following that you didn't follow (maybe a third party app did it?). For the spam accounts that followed you, it can't be avoided unfortunately.

[@ShervMidi]

Hi Aaron, thanks for all of the videos you've uploaded in 2019 so far, starting the year strong! While Jarvee is up and running, would you say it's safe to log into my Instagram account from my phone and upload new pictures, stories etc? Or is it safer to turn Jarvee off everytime I want to upload more content to my Insta? Appreciate it!

[@itsaaronward]

Uploading should be completely fine; it's even better if Jarvee is on the same internet/wifi as your phone to not have 2 connections at the same time. Otherwise, posting isn't too risky as it's a 1 time action that happens rarely.

[@natelegancecarnival]

This is the best information I have received so far. You made it very easy to understand thank.

[@itsaaronward]

Hi Nat, I missed your comment. Thank you so much and I'm glad you liked the video 7 months ago :) Planning on releasing a new one soon!

[@Shadoufang]

Great video, so thank you! But you sort of lost me at the Harvard study part though.. . "They actually determined that humans do not get bored need a basically reward and not being rewarded back to otherwise we get bored." I just paused the video and read the article you showed on screen.

[@Shadoufang]

Wait, sorry. I just realized there's no data backing up these claims.

[@shayanmusicofficial]

Honeslty, best video i've seen so far about instagram. Thank you for sharing. It helped a lot !

I liked how you put a psychological aspect into this.

[@itsaaronward]

Thanks! I don't know why but I always find it much more interesting, and also easier to understand and move forward in the right direction when you understand WHY it is the way Instagram and other marketing channels exist. Not to be "salesy" but my new Instagram Masterminds 2.0 course has a lot of psychology related information which helps build a strong IG strategy.

Nice tips, thanks for that! How are you always keeping up with the latest updates?

[@summersmith5404]

I had always had a private Instagram but went public to enter a contest. When I went public I had 100-200 views on my stories, and almost all had verified viewers. Now, 3 months later I have 25-35 viewers. All of them are from people I know personally. I find it so odd that my number of viewers and types of viewers changed so dramatically in such a short amount of time.

[@VladDudnyk]

Hi there, could you please make a video or just answer this comment on how to find real IG pages/ how to detect fake ones in 2019? These bots just keep getting better and better

[@itsaaronward]

Hey Vlady, Finding real IG pages is pretty simple: you need to research the page by looking at who is following it, who's leaving comments, who's liking their posts. Are these people real, do they meet the right attributes for the demographic you want to target? There isn't a quick way around it - hard work always pays off. In addition you can use tools such as HyperAuditor too, which will reveal some information about the page.

[@VladDudnyk]

@@itsaaronward Thanks for the reply, I've found that HyperAuditor does not represent the real demographics that's for sure. But one helpful thing is to look for conversations between members and likes on comments under the posts, but still gosh these bots are really good nowadays, they're using more human names, have a bunch of real photos, so that even if you visit their page it's hard to recognize them

[@itsaaronward]

@@VladDudnyk It can definitely be annoying! But exactly as you said, look for real conversations happening and you'll be fine :)

[@Kaicenatclips208]

[@Horizonhorseback]

Thanks for the tips. Quick question what is your instagram account? Can't find here or on your website. Thanks.

[@Artist1974CH]

Algorithm is all about censorship, dictatorship, and favoritism. That is nothing good about that. A regular joe can post his or her content but it would purposely get buried by corporate sponsored Instagrammers or famous people no thanks to the "great" algorithm . Something like that hurts upcoming talents and independent voices. Another thing, I can't see myself spending long on Instagram when there is a thing called a "life?" This can apply to other social media outlets as well.

[@jeroselleski]

Then why are you on KZbin watching this video instead of "living the life"?

[@Artist1974CH]

​@@jeroselleski I used to upload videos on KZbin, however; after learning the truth about KZbin's algorithm system , I felt I wasted my time. What is the point of me throwing my life away by spending hours or hours on social media in hoping to get tons of likes and followers while the algorithm system is active to purposely get my work buried? It is much easy for "gurus" to blame those who cannot get tons of likes, views and followers on their material, but the blame should be placed on these American based, corrupt, popular social media companies that are using algorithm system to censor information, to dictate viewers what they can and cannot see, and to hurt truthful independent voices and upcoming talents. It's all done by design. The famous people, politicians, and even billion dollar corporate media companies are being protected from the algorithm system. They can post anything they want just to get so many likes and followers with no problem. Donald Trump and other political scums like him can post threatening or dishonest tweets, get likes, gain followers, and Twitter cannot ban them because they are "public figures." If they were a regular joes, they would have been banned by now. On top of all, there are sheeples who fall for all the lies that these "public figures" post about a country or a group of innocent people. It is dangerous, it can drum up for war, and even increases hate in our society.
