HOW I WENT VIRAL ON INSTAGRAM | Tips to gain 15,000 Followers in a Week!

[@trngi1685]

What sets you apart from others creating similar videos is your genuine authenticity and willingness to share your real experiences, rather than just trying to sell your content

[@Jennamichelle]

Thank you 🫶🏻

[@uniquely_a_starr]

Post once a day on story Post 3-4 reels a week Occasionally post Be consistent keep posting You can use the same clips with different sounds Use hashtags based on niche Find trending sounds under 10k users with top being millions of views and Look at comments if older than 4-5weeks may not won’t to use it but if it’s a week go for it Comment on niches you like Comment on reels you like Reply to comments If you have a reel that does better than others then post more of that type of content

[@MotlatsiBee]

Warning for anyone trying to grow a big following to make money: beware of the type of content that you're creating to generate that following. If its just quick 6 second viral type videos, your followers aren't going to be very invested in you. Big numbers don't mean anything if they don't create dollars. You want to establish connection with your audience

[@tdoveee]

Oh. Well this is easy for Christians

[@shahinhypnotist]

I have interesting videos that should go viral but doesn't.But I am working on that.Thank's for sharing ur experience.Very appreciate

[@TyeArtisik]

​@@shahinhypnotistwhat's your IG? I'll follow everyone back

[@ReactionQueenBoss2001]

Exactly one of the facts

[@karolinezz]

Exactly! Have same about my KZbin channel! I grow but mostly thanks to shorts and those ppl are not interested with my content unfortunately

[@ladyash___]

These are tips I’ve heard else where but you explained it brilliantly. The trending music tip always had me confused but now I know what to look for. Thank you ❤

[@Jennamichelle]

Glad it was helpful! ✨✨

[@GenresOfJhana]

Agreed! Thanks so much for this 💕!

[@Jennamichelle]

Of course!

[@QuantumMechHD]

good info for real .. hit me darling get you back ..

[@onthetablepod]

One of the most informational, straight forward videos I’ve watched on this. THANK YOU. 💯

[@Jennamichelle]

Happy to hear that!

[@p3drogil]

Agreed! Especially with commenting back it's so underrated but it makes a big impact on engagement.

[@JonathanDon-x3e]

Not to many people like you out there , Gained a follower! Not just beating around the bush like others , you’re genuinely giving useful knowledge ! Respect 💯

[@bruh_bie]

okay but this was SO helpful, i can't humanly upload a reel 4 times a week, but i'll def incorporate all these tips and upload once a week, and DAMN i had no idea commenting on ppl with the same niche as me could help with my engagement, tysm

[@Jennamichelle]

💕💕

[@Stylishpreshthefoodie]

you're actually so authentic like i just went to your page and your growth is really surreal.. you are so lucky

[@Jennamichelle]

Thank you!

[@MelissaRiceKC]

I had a reel go viral last Aug and didn’t know wtf to do 😭 so now I have to start over with this tips!

[@Jennamichelle]

If you did it once you can deff make it happen again!

[@MashiMaro00]

FYI if you comment anything that may be perceived as self promotion on someone else's public reel where you don't follow their account and they don't follow you this will be flagged as spam and your comment will be removed for breaching community guidelines automatically

[@Dacoljr]

It’s so funny, I grew my crochet insta pretty well by organically figuring most of these tips out, I’m glad I finally have a reference video for people when they ask how I did it lol the trending audio tip was golden!!!

[@aaheleeee]

nope bruh!! I think being consistent and trust me it takes time but u will grow. I lost hope when I wasn't having any growth in my utube chnl, but it's crazy that motivated me to work hard ❤❤ 😊 grt luck to u

[@christianemartin2958]

Super helpful with trending audio, I’ve never totally understood how it worked. You also seem so genuine which is a very nice change of pace!

[@Jennamichelle]

Thank you!

[@MollyEhasz-hi9cq]

I'm so glad I found this! It's like Instagram wants to be Tiktok with the videos and Tiktok wants to be Instagram with the photo dumps right now. So confusing.

[@athomewithally6364]

Girl you are so real for making this, thank you! Great tips I’m taking notes 💕📝

[@Jennamichelle]

I got you 💕

[@Black_ASH.]

That was really helpful. I love the way you made the video: simple, authentic, and honest. Compared to many videos, I have already seen, you really went straight to the point and didn't spend 20 minutes talking about finding your niche. Thank you! PS: First time commenting on a KZbin video on Instagram.

[@itskätlin]

I'm just starting my channel and made my instagram account today. This advice seems so helpful and it's clear what I need to do in order to grow. Thank you!

Hey girl, this is super helpful I been trying to grow my account going to follow your tips! Thanks!!! ❤❤❤😊

[@gkuke]

awesome video!! watched till the end!! i found some golden nuggets that i was missing, thank you so much for the ideas!!

[@HannahDawson]

Thank you so much! These tips are awesome- I was feeling so overwhelmed that I stopped posting on instagram ❤

[@Jennamichelle]

It can be soooo overwhelming I’ve been only posting maybe one reel a week bc it does get a little tough trying to post all the time, but you got this! Just stay consistent 🫶🏻

[@thytranvonhu3635]

your voice is beautiful, it made me immersed into your video even though there are some part that I don't realy understand (I'm not an English speaker) . I love your vid so much, thank you~

[@lab-likeaboss468]

i dont watch a lot female content but she has been great, impressive & informative.

[@SaraEvanss]

these are some of the best tips i've found on youtube!!

[@Jennamichelle]

[@lili-hv9jd]

This video was so helpful! I will totally use your tips in the future :))

[@Jennamichelle]

Glad it helped!

[@kammalord10]

same like you I've been consistence on instagram and now I gained 10K plus. it's all about consistency and understanding what your audience wants from you and the niche that it will help gain more followers. Rn I'm just waiting to get paid (in someway somehow like the other you tubers/influencers keep saying) which I'm really trying to understand how to get monetised honestly.

[@Jennamichelle]

I dont think reels pays you at the moment, i think you can get more brand deals, but I havent received anything about making money through reels ads like how you would youtube

[@stridify4d]

I really like the engagement tip - I think we'll be implementing that

[@Jennamichelle]

Hope it helps!

[@SundriedStars19]

def going to pay attention to how recent the comments are on trending audios to make sure the one i want to use isn't on its way out! did you have a learning curve when it came to filming/making high-quality reels? i feel like no one talks about this, and i'm so curious. some of the accounts i come across who grow really fast start right out the gate with super high quality reels, and it seems like they were already photographers or something (which i mean, love that for them!) but i JUST made my account with no filming/tiktok experience at all. so ofc my first reels look like trash lol. so i'm trying to learn all about tripods, angles, editing, etc! i feel like i need to become a film maker tbh it's so overwhelming!

[@Jennamichelle]

Haha its okay my first videos werent the best, i would recommend studying other people’s content. Get a lot of detail clips to fill in gaps in your editing (also makes them look more aesthetic). Make sure your iphone or camera settings are correct, and turn on high quality uploads (there are some tutorials on tiktok for that). I recently have been using capcut to edit and although i film in 4K i export my video in 1080p which changed everything for me, because IG and tiktok cannot process 4k so sometimes the quality might not look the best. Hope this helps!

[@LoveTorixx]

@@JennamichelleI’m going to try this because I always get irritated when the quality is so much higher on my phone than the social media apps😭

[@beanballmedia]

This is the best video I have seen so far on Instagram growth! It's super informative and straight to the point, packed with valuable tips. Thanks for delivering so much value in such a concise way!

[@AyrinJade]

This is the most helpful video I have watched in a while for Instagram. I have never really had much success with Instagram and didn’t really know how to navigate it but I’m definitely going to try these tips, thank you so much! ❤

[@Jennamichelle]

Yay happy I could help! 🤍

[@shubhekshayadav9847]

Thank you so much!! Hope this time everything works out!!🌸

[@theadventuringprepastudent]

Thank you for these tips, Jenna! I’m currently trying to make it on Instagram and KZbin and appreciate any help I can get :)

[@user-my6ss4mz4l]

Short, sweet, and to the point! I really appreciated these new ideas as opposed to hearing the same boneheaded suggestions by some of these YT clowns. Thank you!

[@RyanSongwe]

Very valuable, keep going Jenna God bless you!

[@proactivevee]

I'm not sure if it will still work these days (approaching Aug 2024) but I will definitely give it a try especially posting minimum of 4 valuable reels each week. Thank you for sharing this coherent and valuable content, Jenna!

[@OfficialAdrianHuang]

Hi Jenna. You mentioned about posting stories at least once a day as well. Would mind sharing what types of stories / stories ideas you have that you post on a daily basis please? Appreciate your help 🙏

[@Jennamichelle]

Hi! I usually will post my reels to my story if I posted a reel that day, other days ill do my coffee, the gym, detail shots or If I dont have much content I’ll repost a quote or text image from the explore page that is related to my page. Try to make it engaging every now and then by putting in a poll (like coffee or tea) and have your viewers vote. Engagement is always good!

[@aimedia0210]

Thank you for sharing. That was very informative. I will definitely try your tips on my Instagram page.

[@mg3876]

Very nicely explained. Really appreciate your honest views on how you have achieved success with your content on instagram. Thank you!

Yess try them!

[@candidcuisine_]

Spot on with these tips! Can you talk about what makes a reel reach 1 million views? I think that’s really the point that makes your reach skyrocket

[@Jennamichelle]

I think its different for everyone. Having quality content, high picture resolution, and some value or emotion tied to it. Usually those are key factors in what I have noticed with my own growth.

[@hyacinthpaul5595]

[@itsmey___]

First of all you’re so cuuute. Second of all thank you ! I’ve been posting consistently for almost 2 months now and I didn’t see any growth… but I’ve seen a girl growing like you thanks to the sounds but you are explaining it very well :)! I’ll definitely use your tips and if it works I’m going back to that comment section to celebrate that 😂💗 Oh and I have a question. Do you post your reels in your story ? Thank you in advance 😊.

[@Jennamichelle]

Thank you! And yes I do, i post it to my story after i post the reel! Thanks for watching 🤍

[@itsmey___]

@@Jennamichelle 🤍🤍

[@itsmey___]

update : I tried your technique and my last 3 videos have more than +1K views ! (when I was stuck under 500 views before 😭). I'll keep doing it and see where it leads me. Thank you again Jenna

[@musty4273]

Thank you so much for the tips. One thing I find hard is knowing trending sounds, any idea how to spot a trending music, please?

[@Jennamichelle]

I usually search for them through the reels tab, but if you see in my video, I have a screen grab of me searching through and clicking the sounds to see which one is a good one.

[@KemetColeman816]

Thanks so much for the tips. I appreciate your breakdown!

[@Raizing_z]

Replying to comments really works, I can attest to that.

[@gintareverikaite4248]

Great tips! Thank you!❤ I really have no luck finding viral siunds tho, but I i will stay consistent and fingers crossed 🤞

[@Jennamichelle]

Consistency is key! Just keep posting

[@eliza.i.z]

What if what I post on my personal account never goes viral, should I create a new account and be consistent there so I have 2 accounts, one for audience & another one as a personal. I have 940 followers on my personal

[@fitimga5hi]

Thanks!

[@justincoffman4508]

Fantastic tips! I am going to try these all out!

[@gancini]

Thank you for sharing! I never get the meaning of the trending sound and how its connecting to the content but I am gonna try it

[@brandyglows]

Thank you! This was really helpful. Question: do you put hashtags in the actual video and push them down out of sight or do you put them in the caption or both?

[@Jennamichelle]

I just put them in the caption!

This was super helpful, do you have any tips when it comes to posting stories? Like what we should post and how often?

[@Jennamichelle]

I feel like you should post at least one story a day, and for what you should post is really up to you and your niche

[@swan2385]

I've seen people keep posting the same things chopped up a little differently. I ignore them. It's annoying. I hate the reels that aren't of anything interesting too for the sake of posting something. Very annoying. I don't want to be one of those. I rather put something useful out there but have trouble coming up with enough things and the speed to put them together to do that many a week.

[@J1hunnitL4E]

These are great tips “using you content as indicators

[@Kenyi_]

how do you look for trending sounds? on the explore page? thanks, this video was super helpful

[@Jennamichelle]

I look through the reels tab. I watch other people’s and pay attention to the sound at the bottom
