First of all, I'm not an Instagram expert. Second, I'm not a big influencer with 100k of followers. However, I've tried many things on the platform, from joining the 'engagement group' to commenting back and forth. I've eventually come to the conclusion which works the best for my Instagram@thequinoxfashion, and which doesn't. FYI, it might be different from yours, but I just want to share the techniques, in terms of my experiment here.
JOINING THE ENGAGEMENT GROUP/ INSTA POD DOESN'T WORK FOR ME
If you constantly on Telegram, whatsapp or DM, you probably like the way people share & engage one another contents. When I was in a few groups, the engagement was increasing (obviously) Because literally there were people backing up your post. However, there were a few reasons why I left. 1) Staying online, trying to catch up with everyone's new post is way too impossible. I have other things to do in life, including working as a social media editor & marketing. My energy's drained, and I couldn't be bothered to check over 30 new messages everyday (sorry) 2) There's no genuine in the comments. It's good to support each other, but I just didn't like to be told what to comment. For example, 'can you mention/tag the brand in the comment?', 'can you comment on the lipstick?' etc. 3) I hate drama. When someone missed the comments earlier, or couldn't keep up with the latest photo, oh here we go...'girl you forgot commenting my photo' Once I decided to leave one, the rest followed.
Great tips babe! At the end of the day I think that its all about being genuine and connecting in an organic way with your following. However you do need to put in the effort to reach out and interact with them to create a community and long lasting relationship!

Agree with you on these, content that is engaging is definitely what encourages me to comment.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your tips! I agree that commenting from heart is very important as well as putting effort in creating honest community that isn't there just for the likes and fame. Numbers are important, but not more than true and long lasting audience.

Such a good point about engagement pods ;) I feel the same, but am always sucked back into using them occasionally!
