[@SunnyLenarduzzi]

Thanks so much for watching! Let me know what tip you’re going to take from this video and start implementing right now. Comment below 😊

[@FLAKYCRACKER]

😇😇😇😇

[@annaugcitaly]

I always spend some time engaging with the posts on May Instagram feed with like or like and comments 💓 after this daily action, I saw that some followers follow me or engaging with my last posts with like or like and comment ..is it a correct strategy to grow?

[@AwkwardlyDbeauty]

Oooh the insight on when my audience is online was something I will be utilizing 😘

[@SunLuxSkincare]

This video is Priceless Sunny, your content is hands down the most valuable around!!! I had no idea about the App that tells you the exact times to post. This is super helpful especially since my channel is only 4 months old and I’m struggling to get subscribers and Insta followers 😄😄 You Rock! 💖Robin

[@ameliastevens1894]

I have tried so many but they sell you fake followers the best I have found is www.suzysplanx.com real followers free no bots😊😊

[@jtrvlsthewrld]

Don't you think is absurd how much you have to take in to account when posting on Instagram now days in comparison when Isntgram started 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@lauramainiero131]

Yesssss I was thinking the same thing! The whole social media game for business has drastically changed. I remember back in 2008 when I could make a killing in eBay because no one was on there 🤣😂🤣

[@mannineaux]

Jtrvls The Wrld they just want you to buy their sponsored ads now. That’s what this is alllllll about

[@KTLifestyle]

Yea it is, but I think it has to do with the amount of people who actually converted to Instagram now. Before it was easier since there wasn't a lot of people on the platform.

[@larandle]

That's what happens when a platform grows.

[@nystyle28FinancialKnowldege]

yes true

[@dominikspieler5308]

Summary - thanks Sunny for this Update! (01:35) - 1: We all have an unique feed. Even if we following the same Accounts. What we see is based on what we tell insta we like. (02:26) - 2: Interest. What the people like, they see. Check your best posts and analyse what they have in common. So you can guess what they see in their feed. (04:45) - 3: Recency and Timeliness. New posts always show up at the top -> know when your audence is active. Tip: Analytics 05:06 Tip2: App 'when to post' (IOS ONLY, checked it) (06:48) - 3: Relationship. Caption with call to action to comment or follow. Follower have to turn on post notification (tell Follower how to do 08:02). Tip: engage with users in your niche. Tip2: (09:28) - DM to new Follower. Tip3: (09:52) - tagging appropiate Accounts. Tip4: (10:18) - Use relevant Hashtags. Myths (10:40) - 1: insta does not hide posts, just creating the feed different for anyone. (11:19) - 2: the feed does not favour Image vs video. But your audience does. If 80% of your audience like photos the most, do that. (11:32) - 3: Shadowban: it is real. But if you are just using random Hashtags, insta wont know which topic your post is for. So its considered as crap. Watch and like Sunnys video if you find this helpful! And like this if you want more summaries :)

[@lauramainiero131]

Shadowbanned is real. Very real. 😏 11:32 ... Needs more details on why she feels this way because I've got thousands of people that beg to differ 😂 awesome breakdown btw!! Thank you for this! Sunny is the best! 🥰

[@dominikspieler5308]

THE HEART OF A SINGLE MOM thanks for the correction, I misunderstood the sentence :)

[@lauramainiero131]

@@dominikspieler5308 I believe she says it is NOT real. 😂 I'm just saying I disagree. 🥰

[@SafwanBari]

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear spectacles.

[@EssentialMeditation]

Thx

[@laurensettles4789]

"When To Post" does not work

[@FinestFinance]

To avoid shadow banning, I have different hashtag groups saved in my Notepad. Every time I post I rotate between the related groups so I'm not using the same tags over and over again 🤓 Thanks for these helpful videos!

[@AthleticEducation]

Finest Finance I’ve been using the same hashtags forever and no shadow ban. A lot of my posts are seen from my hashtags.

[@SunnyLenarduzzi]

Great strategy! I do the same thing 😊

[@mutanthorrorshow734]

She's wrong about this.. You're better off using 30 hashtags and only change them when you are trying to find better ones as your page grows. Shadowbanning happens when you use spamming methods. Like follow and unfollow.

[@LauraMilroyMedia]

You definitely want to use the hashtags to be super relevant like she suggested in the last video.

[@FranciaFonseca]

Finest Finance Ughhh! Yeahhh... I am so shadow banned right now... it’s been like 4 days. I was using too much # nyc hahaha ! Smh...

[@fefeteo]

This video was genuinely so helpful! Thank you for not making a “just be yourself and your page will grow!” video. I cannot stand those

[@TakishaDanet]

Fiona Teo omg exactlyyyyyyyyyyyy 🙄

[@kuriouscosmetics8361]

I can’t stand those either!

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

I always use hashtags that are relevant and sometimes I hardly get any reach from hashtags🤔

[@jadesookraj8434]

Adrian Lard you may need to be more creative with your hashtags, if you use a hashtag that's been used over 100k or 1 mil times then your post will get lost but if you use one that's been used maybe 2k times your post is more likely to appear in searches for that hashtag which will lead people to your acc.

[@KTLifestyle]

Try experimenting with more niche hashtags.

[@mayormoses263]

The reason why you are not getting reach from hashtags it's because you are using hashtags you can't rank in, try and mix up hashtags you can rank in with hashtags you can't rank in

[@KimCrossesBorders]

Every time I feel demotivated about Instagram, your videos cure it! I am more into youtube, but now I am seeing the benefits of being a bit more active on Instagram. Definitely not planning on being an Instagram influencer, but having that brand and being present is sooo important! Thanks Sunny!

Decided to watch 'just one more' Sunny video before taking a much deserved break from my work, but you got me so curious about your Instagram Algorithm video that I decided to watch it first, and I'm SOOOO glad I did! I had NO IDEA about the 'what is the best time to post on Instagram' insight and app! WOW! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!! Big hugs ... off for that bath now! Cheers, Amanda

Ah love the insights, but I think people should just post when they feel like it personally. Leads to less anxiety about it all :) Great work as always though x

[@Ebonicurls1]

Hi Sunny. Just wanted to come back and say thank you. I checked my followers activity and posted when they are more active which is crazy bc it’s super late at night. Well I posted and asked a question with each post and I have so much more participation in the comments. And traffic to sales on my website have been consistent also. Thanks again!

Hi Sunny! Just a quick suggestion.. not to do with your work in any way. Your work is super duper good! Just saw that you used tea bags for your tea. I'm a huge Tea loving person like you. But I'd suggest that you switch to tea leaves or powder instead of these Tea bags as these bags are lined with plastic and cannot be reused or recycled, and end up in the landfills. It may be a small change but it could definitely be a step towards a more sustainable world. 😊

[@Consolous]

Thanks for the advice. I like watching at your videos because of your eyes. That said, do you think we should post before the insight says it is highest, or at the same number? Such as if it says at 3pm I have more people active, do I post at 3pm exactly, or earlier like 2:45pm? I ask because maybe 3pm is the peak and then it decreases.

[@derekfeher]

So, was your IG growth expansion due to doing all this tactics OR, it was mainly helped because you started talking on KZbin about IG tactics? Your first video for IG strategies was on March, has 450k views, and from that exact same date, your IG added 50k followers? Which makes me believe that it was more due to the fact that people follow you due to the really high value you provide about how to use IG, but not because you are doing those strategies in itself?

[@LauraMilroyMedia]

Either way, it’s a great strategy. Leveraging your audience on another platform definitely helps grow on a new platform. And she is clearly doing the analytics to leverage her success for more success. Isn’t that the formula? Use any and all opportunities you have at your disposable and work the 💩 out of it

[@derekfeher]

@@LauraMilroyMedia which is 100% different from "do this and you will get growth like me". She is doing an amazing work leveraging her KZbin audience and reach and funneling to her IG account. But saying that her IG exploded like that because of her IG strategy it's like saying that I can hit home runs only if I have my lucky white shoes... It's just coincidental...

[@MERGELosAngeles]

Since Instagram is moving towards more of an ad platform, the algorithm is now pushing content that future ads can be integrated into. These are IGTV videos and Carousel posts (the slide posts). Our clients that have used these two strategies have increased their organic reach. It is hard to complain though about Instagram moving towards a more revenue generated platform though.

[@andrewlevine7063]

Interesting... going to try more IGTV videos.

[@MERGELosAngeles]

@@andrewlevine7063 Yeah Instagram wants to push them more to set up for future moves. Even making a video that was originally less than a minute, slightly longer (i.e. add outro or intro) to be over a minute does wonders for organic reach!
