stop making THESE instagram posts and increase your engagement!

These 5 kinds of posts are super popular on Instagram, but they are actually terrible for your engagement! I see so many creators defaulting to these less-than-helpful post styles all the time, and in this video I want to tell you why they aren't helpful for your engagement, and what you can post instead!

Anyone else feel like the algorithm has changed in the last few days?? My reach has gone from 30-40,000 to 3-5000.

[@Nathaliz]

Jabber Wocky you are not alone same

[@KiStorii]

Yea my reach has gone down also

[@alyssa6550]

Yup! I used to get 4-5K likes. Recently I’ve gotten less than 3000.

[@everydayshorts3437]

Everyone is facing same problem the main problem is due to reels

[@alyssa6550]

Ankur Rajput wait really? why are reels lowering our engagement:( I’ve only made one

[@annoyingbananana]

I love that you're actually looking at the camera. at ME. and not at the computer to which the go-pro is hooked up (or the flipped smartphone camera screen), constantly checking your hair/face while doing so. OMG I hate when people do that, like.... look at ME when you're talking to me... please? XD anyway, great video so far I'm 3 minutes in and hooked for more. Hope I'm doing everything right with my account :)

[@inkspirationaldesign]

Please make your KZbins available to the deaf and hard of hearing. It's very very simple, just enable captions. We can benefit from your knowledge and expertise too.

[@Infertilityandmepodcast]

Spot on Katie, people want authenticity more than ever now.

[@ItsAllPrimary]

Such great tips! I like how you give the “instead do this”. Thanks!

[@jackiek4159]

It kills me when I see people posting photos with just emojis, it's like share a little personality! 😂 Love your content girl! 🙌🏻

[@AngelicLimao]

Cool tips. Thank you! I don't actually post any of the first 4 ones, but the carroussel got me. Ill make sure to pay more attention and fix things. Im on a road to 10k🙏🏾❤️

[@heathermacdonald6404]

Many thanks! You're so helpful and easy to watch. Five stars!

[@jebslife4924]

[@NutritionallyNicole]

These are super helpful tips and pieces of advice. Thanks so much for making this video Katie :)

[@jodoeslife1981]

Those tips were super useful! It's good to know what I shouldn't be posting, but it's even more helpful to know what to replace that kind of content with 👏👏

[@CrackaLackTV]

The scientist haven't gotten back to ya yet LOL that was good

[@katie]

hahaha i'm still waiting!

[@marina.artoflife]

Haha, yup! :D :D

[@cone12tv66]

[@dblhelping5186]

Loved this video. You gave so many great tips that to some may seem simple but we struggle with implementing. I love that you gave details on what to do instead.

[@CosplayWorkouts]

Thanks so much for these Katie! Doing more microblog type captions and providing value has really helped me connect with people plus feel good about spreading some knowledge! And the betrayal of the carousel D,: It seems like everyone has been pushing them because they can appear in the feed multiple times. I’ll definitely test these tips out to improve mine!

[@charlimarieTV]

Excellent advice and fantastic video production as per usual! 👏🏻

[@katie]

thanks so much Charli!!

[@TheeBratzDollxox]

These were quite simple tips but gave a lot of perspective! I’m a recent new subscriber and I’ve already learned some really valuable tips! Side note: it’s also nice to find another pretty girl that opts for glasses 👓 over contacts and loves red lipstick 💄 Lol

[@TomYoungsChannel]

Really great video Katie! Thanks!

[@MeredithPhillipsWrites]

Really great tips in this video--thanks! I'm going to have to rewatch it and take some notes 😂

[@nicnakz8796]

Hi Katie, I've been watching your vids for a while now and was wondering if you can let us know the best way to get rid of suspicious followers, bots and mass followers. Thanks :)

[@COLQUITTSMITH]

I appreciate telling us, at the end to watch your video about having less than 100 followers... I don't know what a carousel is. Lol I I'm going to that video.

[@PoutyPrincessx]

Ahhh I'm the emoji one😭 I never have stuff to say

[@parkdalerepublic]

[@katie]

you totally win!! thanks for watching 😍

[@stephaniepshannon1128]

Nobody knows I’m alive on Twitter.....I feel like I am talking to myself

[@cynvaldovinos]

such an in depth and helpful vid ! Thank you from a new vegan channel xoxo

[@ayeshaazeem5750]

such value-filled video

[@mxsaralee]

if we do use a generic photo or a quote targeted to the ig audience, how often should we post that? to have a beautiful balance🤔

[@DelaineAllen]

I was wondering the same.

[@carl_busch]

Great tips. I am just starting my IG life so these are great to stay away from.

[@sherrykoch756]

Thank you

[@katie]

of course! ❤️

[@kylieeeeep]

What is a carousel post I'm so confused. Have I been living under a rock?

[@blakereynoldsmusic]

Really great stuff! I tried emailing you

[@Meganmoe10]

When it comes to word content, I thought the 20% rule still applies. This is where if your image had over 20% text the algorithms wouldn't share your content as much as other content. Is this still true?

[@joymae]

Hey girl, where did you get the banana leaf pillow?

[@katie]

I found the pillow cover on amazon a few years ago!

[@annamokoena7050]

Wow

[@sarahjackson7220]

I got so distracted cause every time you point to yourself or put your hand under your chin I’d think you’d look sooooooooo good with shoulder length or ‘underarm length’ hair

[@upstatenewyork]

I have 29 views but no likes, why?
