Helpful Instagram Growth Strategies
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Your main goals in your affordable social media marketing strategy should be to gain more followers and keep them around. This is often easier said than done! Effective growth will be long-lasting when done organically and steadily. Overnight success is very rare in social media. Here are some tested growth strategies for your Instagram account:
Create Reels
Instagram itself announced that Reels are the best place to grow your presence on the platform. More users have begun spending time watching Reels and the Instagram algorithm is pushing Reels to new viewers through suggested posts that show up in-feed. Traditional photo posts used to only get discovered on the “Discover” tab in the app.
Share All Formats
Don’t put all of your efforts into Reels. The best way to grow is to post in every format Instagram offers. Your social media posting should cover still image posts, Stories, live streams, and Reels. This will ensure your business is reaching different people who like consuming content in various ways.
Focus on High-Value Content in Your Niche
Instagram tracks markers in social media accounts so it is very important to stay in a niche if you wish to grow. If you post across many topics Instagram won’t know who to promote your content to and you will notice your follower count will stagnate.
Post Regularly
Keep your existing followers around by posting consistently. Social media is a source of entertainment and education for many people, so they expect new content from the accounts they choose to follow. If you need help reaching this expectation, 98 Buck Social has plans to keep your accounts up to date.
Engage With Your Audience
A simple way to create super fans is to engage with your existing audience. When you reply and share their responses to your content it can lead to more comments and your followers will feel appreciated. In Reels, you can create reply videos to your comments.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Have any questions?
We have answers.
Can you help me grow Instagram followers?
We partner with Socialboost to help build Instagram followers. Click the link below to enroll. Plans start at $59/mo.
What photos or videos do you use?
By default, we can use the photos you have on your website as well as utilizing the plethora of photos available to us within our royalty free library.
If you have photos or videos for us to use, depending on your subscription, we welcome you to upload them into a Google Drive folder and share that link with us!
Looking for custom videos? Some of our plans include videos or you can add them to any plan starting at $98/mo!
How do you mimic my branding colors and style?
As mentioned above, depending on your plan, we can use whatever you’d like to provide us! If not, we’ll resort to using your website or our royalty free library.
That being said, we can come up with custom graphics that suit your branding style as an add-on to your posting subscription.
$98/month for 3 custom graphics each week
$148/month for 5 custom graphics each week
Note: The cost of custom graphics is on top of your monthly subscription cost
What is content review & approval?
Content review and approval is where your social media content creator sends you a weeks worth of posts, prior to their designated publication time the following week.
This way, you will have the chance to give us feedback on each post in case you’d like us to make a minor edit.
Note: One round of editing per post permitted, depending on your plan.
What are the results I can expect from your posting services?
The idea behind consistent posting onto your social media pages is to keep them active with content that promotes your business solutions, educates your audience to showcase your expertise and to also keep things lighthearted, it’s social media after all!
There’s nothing worse for a business than to earn someone looking into what you do, only for them to see a barren social media page. To them, it may appear that you are out of business or potentially a scam.
We are often asked about growing followers and generating sales or leads. These are great goals to have but please understand that those goals are better obtained through paid advertising campaigns.
For more information on paid advertising, please visit our paid advertising services.
Do you use a posting scheduler and how do you get access to my business pages?
We are fortunate to be partnered with CloudCampaign.com to utilize their excellent scheduling platform.
By signing up for our content services, we will set you up with your own Cloud Campaign workspace depending on your plan.
During onboarding we request admin access to your social accounts using a secure platform. This allows us to manage the occasional disconnect when the platforms push out updates.
Furthermore, with your own workspace you are welcome to view and edit content at your leisure!
Why do my posts say “Posted by Cloud Campaign”
We use Cloud Campaign, which is a 3rd party app, to scale social media management and posting. When a post says “Posted by Cloud Campaign”, it is only the admins of your company page that can see this and not your followers.
