🌟 Instagram Growth Hacks for 2024 

📹 Video carousels:  By combining photos with videos and using captivating captions, video carousels can attract new followers and increase reach. 

Incorporating original sounds under 10K videos and creating captivating storylines can significantly improve engagement and follower growth.

🔍 SEO tactics: Utilizing hidden keywords in posts can enhance visibility in Instagram search and recommendation algorithms, resulting in increased reach. 

However, don’t be spammy about it and mass-hide.

The algorithm can recognize this, and some creators have reported decreased reach in doing this now.

📊 Data analysis: Tracking and analyzing content performance is essential for understanding audience preferences and optimizing reach and engagement.

🤝 Meaningful connections: Instagram's focus on meaningful connections emphasizes the importance of building strong relationships with followers, which can contribute to baseline growth on the platform.

Take advantage of engaging stories, broadcast channels, and personalized content as this can lead to increased loyalty and reach.

💡 The official Instagram Trend report highlights the importance of meaningful connections, and leveraging this can lead to baseline growth on the platform.

🔗 Use 3-10 hashtags per post and put them in the caption, not the comments.

🚫 Check if you're shadow banned and fix any issues with your account.

🌐 Instead of promoting the link in your bio, encourage people to comment or DM for access.

✨ Engage on large pages to get in front of your target audience and gain new followers.

🌟 TikTok Growth Tips

💡 The best time to post on TikTok can be determined by analyzing your competitors' profiles and seeing when their top recent posts were made.

Mistakes NOT to make in Italy - part 1 🇮🇹 #italytravel #italytraveltips #italyguide #traveltip

💡 The 70% rule is a vital metric for TikTok's algorithm.

If your content fails to engage viewers within the first 3 seconds, it won't be pushed out to a wider audience.

Pay attention to your topic, format, and hook to ensure high retention rates.

💡 Different platforms require different types of content.

While some formats may work across platforms, it's essential to tailor your content to each platform's unique audience and engagement patterns.
