Hey everyone, I’m totally puzzled right now. I’ve been running a small online store and trying to keep my Instagram active, but despite regular posting and using hashtags, my engagement stays low. Feels like I’m invisible out there. Has anyone found an actual strategy to make the profile look more alive without looking fake or spammy?
I had the exact same frustration when I launched my project page. The algorithm is brutal if your numbers are low at the start. What helped me was a mix of authentic content planning, collaborating with micro-influencers and a careful kickstart of my account. I actually decided to buy cheapest followers from a reputable provider to give my page some initial social proof, then doubled down on real interactions. This combination helped me appear in more feeds and got organic growth going much faster.
Sometimes even strong visuals need a push. Collaborations, stories and consistent posting times can play a huge role in how often your content surfaces to new audiences.
