Underrated Instagram Growth Tips (that actually work!)

[@therosyranch]

I love how you don't edit out your acne, so real yet confident and a great role model for young girls.

[@izabellapardinho2784]

Yours is probably the only channel I will actually WATCH THROUGH the sponsor part, you manage to make it watchable/entertaining. You rock ❤

[@Cynthiaozumba_Virtualassistant]

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Not heard this from most Growth coaches. You ate so real. You brought in a new perspective to this. Thank you 🥰🥰

[@Your_Lifestyle_Business]

Katie, your Instagram growth tips are a breath of fresh air! It's fantastic to see you dive into lesser-known strategies that actually work. Your insights on moving beyond the clichés and focusing on overall strategy instead of just trendy content are truly valuable. Looking forward to more of your videos and your upcoming IG Stories strategy one!

This is gold! I've also just binged watched most of your videos during an 8-hour drive across the country! priceless content!

Maybe I can shed some light on the music removal and accompanying video being silenced. What often happens is, the music is commissioned for these platforms. IF the music trends and goes viral (with our videos) the Creator of the Music may feel that maybe they sold that music at a loss- since millions used that sound and they got paid ONCE for it and not per "play/use". Then they may pull out the music and thus our entire video gets muted. Some music commissioned by soc med platforms may also have limited time- like a year or two for use. We'll get a video going viral and a year later, it's muted because it was a "limited run" per se. Additionally, most video editing software have a music library to choose from for our videos. That's great but they are copy-protected in some or all social media apps because the sound was NOT sold to the platforms- so you can't use them without getting muted. This info was given to me by 4 friends who make music/sound for platforms.

I’d love to see more videos about story strategy!!!

[@melitadala6418]

A video on the insta stories algorithm would be so helpful! Thank you Katie ✍

[@ShannanTheAromaticArtisan]

Yes for a video on stories and strategies! No one ever interacts with my polls or emoji button and I already put it in the bottom right corner

[@gabbythorne4291]

thank you katie! This was so very helpful (like pretty much all of your videos)!

[@KatherineJohnson-w3w]

girl I've been watching all your videos and they are so helpful (literally have binged like 20 this weekend)! I didn't know that you are Canadian until watching this one (me too!) :)

[@ItsAllPrimary]

Needed to hear this! The trending audios are driving me crazy. Also, I would love to hear more about your Stories theory. Thank you for your IG tips!

[@FuturFab]

Great video thanks! Can't wait to start applying these advice

[@TravelsOverKids]

OMG Katiee !! Your Instagram strategy videos are an absolute goldmine of knowledge! I've been implementing your tips, and I can already see a difference in my engagement. Thanks for sharing your wisdom !!! :D

[@hugodevotion]

Hey Katie, thanks for all the tips you shared. I have been having some problems getting reach for my content and have shifted part of my strategy to IG. Your vid just made things clearer for me, like everyone else I've struggled so long with what to do and which to prioritise, and thanks to you taking time to share yr insights I now can make adjustments quicker. All the best for yr channel for 100k, and yr mum's restaurant too!👍😎🥂 Cheers!

[@yalajujosephine9710]

Omg your strategies are so helpful and brilliant, can't wait for when you put out content for Instagram stories strategies! Thank you🥵

[@SR-ql9he]

I've tried every poll type available in my stories and practically no one ever engages. I feel like most people are tired of all the polls in all the stories.

[@ikbenmarko]

Keep it simple. Like, closed questions "are you enjoying this weekend?" or multiple choice are you working or chilling this weekend? "work, chill"

[@veganlunchmom]

Mine never get engagement either

[@AmmyWolfable]

I think most people like to have an impact. So polls like "which dress?" "Walk or gym" ECT

[@SR-ql9he]

@matheuscarmignanisalvador I'm not but thanks for that superfluous comment. ✌🏻

[@joayoga]

Katie OMG! I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did! Your videos are extremely valuable, honest, and real. As a creator myself, I find this super insightful as I often struggle with management and consistency on my Instagram account. This is super helpful, thank you so much!

[@SchnattaLieschen]

Please share more on IG story strategy, that would be so helpful!

[@thepinkhippieco]

Yes!! I accidentally stumbled upon this method when I got tired of trying to think up hashtags and trying to find a viral audio to fit with what I was doing here on the farm. I took a break and then just started sharing real life happenings with the horses ,goats and chickens. (I think I recently only used one audio of the Muppets and it looks like my chickens are singing it 😂)Anyway, people are more engaged! I've gained about a thousand followers in the past month! Now I'm working on my thrifting KZbin channel here.... (Almost at 6,000 on my farm channel sharing "life on the farm" reels) I got to work on my intro. I'm the one that starts it off with "hi , welcome to my channel" 😂😂😂 🫣 appreciate your content! ~jc

[@LoFrench]

This is completely unrelated but as a canon girlie who took the jump to a Sony zv1 and doesn’t love it I’d loooove for you to do an video on settings you love and any tips bc for the life of me I swear I can’t make it work for me the same as my old g7x mark ii

[@sharlaamysamuel]

These are great tips! Your Instagram has a lovely layout - simple and bright 😌

[@YashoShasho]

Very helpful tips! Thank you! ❤

[@IndiraLuz_art]

I agree with everything, except fort art. True art to me is an authentic expression of our specific view on things, and dies at the minute we look outside and wonder what people are expecting. Thanks a lot for all the valuable information. 🙌

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

I ONLY make original content and while some blow up, most does just alright. Nothing ever really flops though. But, my growth has not been nearly as big as yours. Could it be that IG is still leaning toward curated, aesthetic content? Cause I do mostly raw and real moments, is it not polished enough?

[@milesolsen_]

Love your authentic vibe - just subscribed!

[@kyapilin3895]

Yes on the IG Stories Strategy video 😍 As usual this was a very informative and educational video, thank you!

[@franziskagrasso4956]

Really would love to hear more tips for stories :)

[@roaming.around]

Thank you Katie!! I’m excited to try these tips, especially the story strategy! It’s funny I was just thinking this morning how I can do more with my stories 😂 I’d appreciate more videos where you share your insights on IG stories ✌️

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

What is annoying is that on Instagram, people can make their life seam like some that is not actually realistic. I see MLM huns do this all the time. Its very sad.

[@dreawelty]

do you have any videos for creating content pillars?

[@thatpiratewitch]

Please talk more about Stories! I feel like no one looks at them and I barely ever get engagement, so because of that I have no clue what to post as a Story versus a feed post or a short reel. Help!

[@hollycvlogs]

I'd love to see you try to grow an Instagram account that isn't related to social media growth. What about an IG account for your van life content?

[@SlumberandBloom]

This video is so valuable! Thank you for sharing!!

Please make the video! By the way, could you tell us what app/website you use when screenrecording your screen and you are shown in a nice, big circle? Thanks!!!

[@polegoddessjourney]

Thank you for this! I’m definitely going to apply this!

[@andreajayavelu4813]

Yes! Can we please discuss strategies for effective IG stories?! I am at a loss on how to incorporate this authentically and effectively.

[@Buzzellilaria]

thank you, this was super helpful!

[@RitaTapadinhasPlantaChoice]

Please do the video on the instagram stories!! By the way, I really find your content very useful!

[@debeccles9021]

This has been so helpful, thanks so much for sharing, your IG tips!

[@squeakyscauldron]

Yes for the stories video! It feels very opaque to me rn

[@Eveloo13]

Loved the intro to this video the floating equations lmao

[@alex-wittman]

Yessss, tell us your stories theories!

[@digitaldorothy]

You’re really great at what you do, happy to be here! What are your thoughts on the overall grid aesthetic on Insta? It used to be such a focus for marketers, I feel like some people have thrown it out the window … seems to me a missed branding opportunity, no? Or does that not really matter anymore?

[@StephaniesChickenCoop]

Thank you so much!!❤

[@LucyBarnard]

Yes. Everyone LOVES croissants and Italian coffee!!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Thanks for this video beautiful Katie, it's what I needed.

[@Pitschgi5117]

I dont have this little arrows next to the Songs.. why? 😢

[@SeelenTaucher]

Since "New Hashtag search" did die...which I Hate, coz I Love searching for Dates and Numbers. Any App to find the New Hashtags? New Artists can Not BE found easily, coz IT searched for "top" only. Any recomms how to find NEW Art Hashtags in chronological Order? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@kellyjonas]

Katie how do we do dash hudson without a business email??

[@Alex-vm5yk]

Love this - but original reels - what if the content is original (eg creating art) but the audio is trending?

[@farzinuos]

informative videos 👍

[@ashlilareta]

Great video- as always! 👏🏾✨ I’m really going to start focusing on my overall strategy instead of trendy content! Can you share a little more of how you establish a strategy for your brand?

[@theearkandcovenantofbeauty1415]

Hey sis . Yess ❤

[@sheenaandersonblog]

I would love more about stories.

[@HeyItsMeSteve]

Appreciate you.

[@laurabillson1870]

Your mom's baked good are super awesome to give as gifts. :)

[@zehra3613]

English is not a language spoken in my country. If I open an account in English, do you think only people from my country will see me?

[@AbbieLTDance]

What are your recommendations for FREE social media newsletters for new content creators?

[@bankrollnicole]

what if you don’t care about making “teaching” content to anyone, i’m a content creator that makes more aesthetic content 😭

[@westphillybabe]

I do love how ppl are doing carousels. As creative as I am, I’m not doing them in a fun way lol so many pics of me 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@Endanesia97]

Thank you so much🙌
