Really good information, well presented. Subscribed. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Happy to have you here :) - C
Thank you for all the useful information! I'm really struggling with whether I should post about both my coaching business and occasional life updates. I feel like as a coach, you want to be relatable, and I feel like posting 'regular' things will help form a bond with my audience. However, I also understand why people keep the two separate...
Hi Mary, our pleasure! You could try testing - post some life updates and see how people respond to the content. If it's positive then keep it coming, if not then at least you know. Try a number of posts, too, you can't judge off just one - C
Thank you for the awesome tips. Not sure if I should rebrand or just start from scratch
So welcome! It all depends how dramatic the change of niches are, if you're referring to converting an existing account. There's definitely a lot more work involved in converting an account but if you have a decent enough following then it could be worth it - C
GREATT VALUE!!
thank you
Thanks so much for watching, Shai! - C
Hello High Season Co. I really enjoyed your informative and knowledgeable content! I have a question regarding the 12 advance posts you mentioned. Are they meant to be posted all in one day?
Hi! Thanks so much for the kind words. :) Re the 12 advanced posts, you could do all in one day but it might not receive much engagement, so we'd suggest to do 1-3 posts per day until you hit the 12 to let the engagement slowly grow - C
great information, thanks!
So welcome, thanks for watching! - C
I really needed the advice You give ❤❤
Amazing, thanks for watching! - C
Thanks for this important information ❤

Love to hear it, Jonathan, thanks for the sub! - C
Thanks again =)
Pleasure, thanks for watching, Glenn! - C
I noticed that when I don’t include hashtags, my posts/reels tend to do way better, than with hashtags. I tried 30, I tried 5, I tried none. Makes me wonder if hashtags are dying (at least for food blogging). 🤔
That's a cool observation, and if that's what you're finding then stick with it. Mosseri mentioned that hashtags don't have the same value as they used to, personally I've never heard that posts do better with zero hashtags but really it's about whatever does best on your specific account - C
thank you very much
So welcome, thanks for watching! - C
Lentils made me giggle. Everything else hade my brain storming strategy ideas to move forward with. Thanks!
😂 I'm glad to hear that it helped get those creative juices flowing. Thanks for watching! - C
Great video. Thanks! Starting my new account for my business, I was prepared for the fact that I will have little to no traction at the beginning, but it gets hard 😅. Assuming my content is valuable and my feed is "bingeable", is there usually a time frame where a new accouny starts getting traction? Thank you
Thanks so much for the kind words! Congrats on the new account! There's no real timeline as far as when traction will begin. The more you post and the more you engage with others, the better chance you have of moving the needle sooner. Another way to push it forward faster is to use ads to boost some posts and get some more engagement. Keep going! - C
Thanks so much for the brilliant content guys.. a question though, can I change my Insta account from Business to Creator?
So welcome! Yes you sure can - it's definitely the better option to access trending audio - C
thank you
So welcome, thanks for watching - C
I love how meticulous you guys are,… great video
Appreciate you!! - C
Is this video still valid in 2024? I'm just starting and wondering...
Oh absolutely! 100% applicable to 2024 :) - C
Got my notebook out!!!
Woo! Enjoy!! - T
Who's this incredibly hopeful, beautiful woman? My skepticism melted away.
She's the best of the best! - C
Got a question on trending music. I keep seeing the same music on video after video, and I have a reaction now that if I hear the first bars of an overly familiar song, I skip the reel regardless of quality or subject. Not sure how to follow trends when they are done to death.
Hi Matthew, great question. I imagine not everyone would feel the same way (tbh I agree with you, I don't like hearing the same thing over and over), so it's not always an issue for every IG user. That said, try to jump on the trends early to maximize your value and reach from it and move onto the next one. - C
After batching 12 posts, do you recommend posting them all at once? Or spreading them out over a week? Thanks~
Hi! You'd likely be best to spread them over a week, do 2-3 per day. Just so you're not overwhelming the algorithm - C
Hey there you thank you so much for sharing these tips I’m actually a content creator myself I have Had an instagram account for my daughter as a mini influencer/ digital creat she has gained a few new follow however I feel like stuck I feel like she has ver good content but it seem like she does get much engagement in her post and reels I would really love for her account to grow is there anything you can recommend?
Hi Angelica, thanks for the kind words! That's great that your daughter is doing awesome, too. First steps would be to follow the tips in this video, especially ads if you have the budget, but try things like collaborating with theme accounts and others in her niche, and to not just stick to IG and build a following on other platforms to push traffic to the others. :) - C
Are you suggesting a new account should add 12 posts total (reels, carousels, static posts) or 12 each to have them up before you pull in profile views? Is more always better when preloading an account before marketing harder in Stories?
Hi Erin, we're saying 12 posts total before you engage. More is better for sure regardless. Just think about if an account with nothing on it engaged with you - there's almost no chance you're going to follow them, because you don't really know what they're about or what their posts are going to be like. Give yourself the best chance to win by posting first, go hard on Stories and engagement etc. Hope that helps - C
Thank you so much! I have a question: I started my account years ago and i got a lot of engagement. Then I changed my style 3-4 times and every time I changed my style, I deleted all my previous artwork. I did this several times (5-6 times), that every time I deleted all my previous artworks and started over. Most followers were gained in the beginning. Now my engagement is awful although I post daily, it's getting worse and worse. My concern of starting new account is that it'll be hard in the beginning as well. I might not get any view or 0 followers for a while. What do you suggest in this case? I would love to start over, but not sure if it's the best strategy. Thank you!
Hi, that sounds like it makes sense. Removing all the posts would confuse followers and stop them from engaging. If you're able to find a style to stick with and keep the posts up, you could keep going on your existing account. You may as well try with a fresh account and see how it goes, it's essentially equally difficult than with an existing account that's somewhat negatively affected in the algorithm. Hope that helps! - C
@@Highseasonco That helps a lot! Thank you so much for replying! Really appreciate it! Have a great day!
Tell em sis people are too negative put positive energy out there for yourself how u expect to get blessings
That's it! Only speak what you want to see in the world - C
Noooooo not more GOALS! The whole reason I go on social media is to avoid goals! 🤣🤷🏻♀️
🤣🤣 these goals are always getting in the way.
Would you suggest a business or creator account for a home bakery page?
Creator most likely for the trending audio - C
Thanks a lot
What kind of training do you do? Step-by-step?
We offer consulting where we can walk clients through anything they need to know step by step for sure - C
as an artist is it too vague to think the audience I would assume I would be aiming for is people who like original art and collecting original art and who like watching artists's process?
That can work for sure, but it's way too broad if you're doing ads, however it'd be a good start for organic engagement. As you go, you can slowly refine it. You may find a very niche demographic tends to gravitate towards your work so then you can cater to them more and more - C
How long to warm up the new IG account before making first post?
Hi, you can get those 9-12 posts out ASAP really, the account just needs to have content before you start engaging with others to increase the chance of retaining them as a follower - C
Hi. Can you change your account from business to creator?
Sure can! Just head over to your Settings and you'll be able to switch it. That'll give you access to the trending audio - C
Hi guys. Awesome tips. Question. Can I change a personal existing account on Instagram to business/creator account ? I still have a separate personal account.
Thanks. ❤
Hey! Thank you :) Of course, yes you can, just go into the Settings and switch your account over, no problem - C
Do making drafts ahead of time and then posting them later get lost in the feeds?
Hey Steph, not at all. They just save you time, no negative algo impact - C
My posts, reels and stories haven’t preformed well unless I run ads. It’s really hard to grow
That's fair, it's been a little rougher lately with the algorithm. I'd focus more on servicing the community you have, deliver as much value as possible and produce shareable content that your audience would share and then growth should come from that - C
@@Highseasonco I will try that and see if it works.
Hey Guys, do you provide consultations?
Hey, we sure do: www.highseasonco.com/consultations - C
Is it possible to save an Instagram account that, after six months, only has 155 followers and no sales?
Hi Mary! Yes it is, it'd take a lot of work but it'd be possible - C
Would you advertise to get followers or would that mess up the account ?
You can totally advertise to get followers! Just make sure that you have enough content on the page to give people enough value that they'd want to follow. No issues there at all - C
Idk what I’m doing wrong I’m trying to grow my sons account. I guess I want my audience to be moms but. Idk what to exactly post I think my problem is captions? Im using trending sounds but getting very low views so im he has 200 followers what sounds should I use what’s the number of user who already used that sound
Hi Femia, it could be the captions, you'd want to test a few things to see what your audience responds best to and then lean into that. You could try a sound with 50k to 100k uses, and then start testing different use levels and see what the response is. When you're at the stage you're at, thee best thing you can do is just test. - C
@@Highseasonco thanks for responding will be trying it all. Do you think I should do paid promos?
@@femian4647 Everything is worth testing to see what works for you. Paid ads are 100% worth it, they also require testing as far as the creative and target audience, but that's the best way to guarantee reach - C
Hi love the video🙏🏽, but I’ve created a new Instagram page for motivational reels ,do u think paying for Instagram ads can mess up a organic audience or it shouldn’t ?
Thank you! Paying for ads won't mess anything up at all, it's an entirely separate thing. You're safe to advertise! - C
@@Highseasonco thanks you and I just sub to you🙏🏽
Are up to 30 hash tags still recommended? I heard just a few that relate directly to the post recently
Hey Max, we did a study last year and we found that 30 hashtags outperformed 5 hashtags by 7x, so we'd definitely suggest doing that - C
This just takes you around in a circle. You can't click on get support.
Interesting, it works every time for us. It could be to do with your specific ad spend according to some other comments - C
@@Highseasonco I do not run ads. I am trying to fix my account not my ads
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. I find them very helpful. I am running into an issue. I am unable to figure out on my own. I watched so many UA-cam videos and I am unable to resolve my issue on Instagram not being able to run ads due to not being the full admin on the Facebook account I was previously using. I deleted the Facebook account and I’m trying to run my own ads. Will you guys please help me with this🙏
Hi, thanks for the kind words! Are you an admin on the Facebook page attached to your Instagram account? Or is there no FB page? There would need to be a Facebook page attached to your IG to run ads, and then a FB ads account - C
Yeah. Can't do the interior design if you haven't got the nuts and bolts done.
That's it! - C
Using a professional account tanked my reach and engagement.
Went back to a personal account and it’s back to normal
How do you know for certain that it was the change to a Professional account? We've never heard of anything like that nor experienced it for any of our clients - C
@@Highseasonco because it wasn’t the 1st time for me, I’ve seen a pattern
What are the first 12 posts you would post?
Hi! You'd want to ensure that your first 12 posts would cover all of the different aspects of your business (or whatever your account represents). Think of it from a prospective follower/customer - what would they want to see if they needed to get a snapshot of what you do? Whether it's your products, services, offerings, hours, sales/promos, just give them everything they need! - C
I just started new business account at the begin of the month and I do not have the invite collaborator feature. Why is that?
Hi Krishan, some accounts may not have the feature yet, I believe it's still slowly rolling out. It could also be country-based, too. Sit tight! - C
you teach people about social media by the youtube video with a pretty low sound quality what is crucial a good quality content. One speaker is sounding much louder and a male I had to suffer to even hear
Hi, I just took a listen and it's fine. You may want to try another device - C
Just like the recent posts, oops they deleted that option.
They're constantly changing things so maybe it'll make a comeback - C
They do not give people equal access to features.
The features mostly end up being rolled out globally, but the newer ones often take some time to reach every country - C
This woman is stunningly beautiful. And I appreciate the recommendations.
She is indeed, I'm a lucky man. Thanks for watching! - C
its so hard to hear him...
Hi, we just reviewed the video and I can hear myself talk perfectly. Was there a specific segment where it was tough to hear? Unfortunately UA-cam doesn't let you do much after the fact to edit anything so there wouldn't be anything we could do regardless, but if there was an error it might be something we could avoid in future - C
can you help me with my account?? dms?
Hi, what sort of help are you after? - C
Hi im huệ please you still cut off me every shopping when i can be ok ply let me know thanks
Beautiful wife
She sure is, I'm a lucky man! - C
Are you guys married?
We're in a relationship, yes indeed. Almost 12 years! - C
@@Highseasonco most productive couple in UA-cam 👏
Stay blessed ❤
Instagram is dying though. It’s a known fact
I'd have to disagree there. It's changing for sure, but it's not dying in our opinion. - C
It's hard to say a platform is dying when the metric used to see how famous someone is, Instagram followers 75% of the time is the metric alongside tiktok
@@Financialguide2023 👏👏👏👏
@ThesportsFellowship not true 100%
Its not a trend lil bro people make money off this
Big takeaway for me! I let my social media accounts die. I am going to use your strategies to start up again slowly. I followed you on IG and will use your pillar-building concepts. I do not have any of the pillars because I did not know how to make reels, carousels, etc. basically a restart beginner, ugh! And I am in my 70's.
Good for you, Candace! It's never too late to start. There's a lot to learn but we should have covered everything you'd need to know on the channel. Feel free to shoot us a DM any time with your questions, happy to help guide you in your journey :) - C
Same here 🤣 I'm starting a boutique on Instagram and it's been a little difficult for me, I've had to learn about photography, how to make videos, how to edit🤪. I only have 26 followers and I hope everything improves over time.
i’m just want to learn what app and regular intagram please teach me how to do that i have no business not stories for sell anything thanks Gloria Ang sir sorry i don’t tuổi name thank and i want tell you i’m very slow get in
amazing content - thank you! I am somewhat new to insta and used it only personally (700 followers) for launching a business - I was going to just flip my personal straight to a business so at least I have some momentum with followers..... do you recommend truly to start from ground zero = NO followers? [eek eek eek] - so scared about that. I only use instagram minimally now for a personal bases - thank you!
Hi! Thanks so much! So if you don't mind switching your personal account over and you're willing to archive all your posts - go for it! You may get a number of unfollows as the content wouldn't be what many people followed you for but if you're not attached to the account, it could be beneficial. Good luck! - C
