To whoever is reading this, I know since pandemic hit, almost everything changed, but there's no reason for us to stop working for our goals. You've got this!
16 Secrets: 1. Algorithm is in your favor, if your getting no views then your content sucks 2. Ask people to engage with you like tag a friend, comment, double tap 3. Give people a reason to follow (what do they get out of following) 4. Use 3-10 hashtags per post 5. Don’t put hashtags in comments 6. Checked if your shadowed ban in account settings (privacy and then account status) 7. Stop sending people to the link your bio (no one cares) instead tell people to comment or dm a specific word to receive your service, or what ever it is your providing 8. Spend 10 min a day commenting on pages in your niche 9. Re purpose your videos on other platforms 10. Repurpose successful old content if it’s 3 months old 11. Stick to consistent scheeeedule 12. Take viral posts on other pages and use it as ideas or templates 13. Post more content 14. Boost your content with payment method 15. Story highlights: promote who you are, best work, best content, best things you can give them 16. None…..silly boy
None of this works😅😅😅 I've tried them all & I'm definitely not shadow banned. Ig is all about money & ads you pay to post. Hashtags no longer work either. You can't even see your post under hashtags because it only shows TOP HASHTAGS now. This is all bs, I've been on ig for over 10 years and I'm very active in stories, posts reels etc... my content is very random but in the last year no one sees my content due to the ads!! I used to come up on the explore page frequently until meta took over & capitalized IG!
I think we all need to take a moment and recognize the marvel that is the surge in people providing information on how people can improve their businesses, content or their lives. Never before has there been such a mass of people endeavoring to help other people to make a living. What an incredible time to be alive
Josh, you consistently give some of the best value and most useful things of any social media guru out there. Thanks for your generosity and contributions.
As a brand (not a personal account), do you suggest following and interacting with competitors and other brands that your target audience might be following? The goal is to start showing up under their "Suggested Profiles". It feels a bit weird if a brand account is liking and commenting on another brands account.
Great video. One big question though....How much of any of these steps are possible without "boosting", or paying Instagram?? Seems like you got to pay to play. This whole Instagram thing seems like the ones that pays the most money to "boost" their Instagram will get the most exposure. I know that you have to create great content, but shouldn't it say "You have to create great content then pay more than the others in your niche to get YOUR stuff noticed"? Am I correct with this...or way off?
From memory the majority of the tips in this video are free? Ive gained millions of followers the past 8 years and spent very little doing so, although going forward Im looking to add in paid ads
I look at like this I posted positive quotes and anything that going get through a tough day I am here to help move along a tough situation Remember we go through storms The struggle through the storm what makes you stronger!!
I use to get about 200-250 likes on my posts, now I'm barely getting 10. I haven't changed the way I've done things and it's only a personal account of my photography, I only upload new content as and when I get round to it. It seem weird that the number have plummeted so drastically. Any ideas why you think this is?
Your videos are awesome. Any thoughts on shout out accounts? I see this as a way a few creators in my space are getting a lot of attention but I haven't had much luck with it personally.
Now should I schedule the posts or manually post them. Reason I ask bc let’s say I record 10 tiktoks in a day. I can schedule them out or even posts for IG have them scheduled which will allow me more time to work on newer content and not forget a post
I have an account with 6k followers and average 10-17 views on my stories. Iv tried to use the stickers for engagement and even let my stories expire for 48-72 hours for the algorithm to reset. Nothing has worked. Would I be better starting a new page from scratch?
After 2024 my reach to non-followers dropped from 200-1k down to literally 10-20 People. Also Followers tend to not engage your reels when you do a lifestory, to notify them. I guess i need to start over lile i did many years back...
Thanks for this video Do the age of my Instagram account matter? I’ve got a theme page I started in 2017. Not touched it for two years but thinking of starting it up again. It’s for 300 followers. Should I delete it and start fresh?
Thank you for this ! My IG channel is finally growing . Now how do I get people to watch my UA-cam channel ? My show is doing so well on old fashioned broadcast television and people can watch it on television but I’m struggling to get views on UA-cam 😢
I started uploading 2 reels per day and I lost 30 followers. Is this normal? The content i make isn’t absolute shit so I don’t know why people would unfollow
@@JoshRyan I mean people followed me for one logical reason and that’s because I posted skate content and now im mainly focussed on music it’s a bit unusual for that many people to unfollow or not?
@@Musicbyeternity why do you think thats unusual? Am I missing something? People followed you for skate content and now you are posting twice a day about music? Of course they will unfollow
lol. Every single one of my posts got zero non follower views. Then they changed my suggestion feed to nothing but landscape photos for over a year. Then when I started posting proof of that they started suggesting my posts to countries like Iran and Turkey. I eventually left.
does having hundreds or even thousands of posts on your account a bad thing? person i find it silly or unprofessional when people have so much posts on their accounts. it just seems like they’re “trying too hard” or “doing too much”
hacks lol! you have to pay for ads people- thats what rewards you- forget the rest its not working. they want your money! or why do you think is your newsfeed full of commercials and recommendations and not actually content you follow? think about it.
F A L S E you cannot go to settings to see if you are shadowbanned. Those are actual flags they will tell you about. Shadowbanning, however, they do NOT tell you about. Your account standing can look squeaky clean and you can still be shadowbanned
What happened to just posting a great photo and people just liking it because we have the audience..all of this is bullshit. So many great photographers will no followers and shitty photographers with many followers because they play this stupid game
reminder to not ALWAYS ask people to engage. you know those artist accounts on insta who BEG people to like and copy link? you don't want to be that person, so just keep the "asking for engagement" short, as in "double tap if you like this kind of content" and not big paragraphs stating the "very low reach my content has been getting" most importantly, remember to enjoy filming and creating your content and to have fun
Thats a great point, try make it genuine when you do ask. Make it specific to the reel, eg 'comment your favourite effect' or 'what do you think of this?' little prompts, rather than 'Please copy my link so I can get reach' like you mention

Reason there wasn't 16 is half way through recording I realised one was very similar to another so I didn't read it

Should I make more reels like the one that got viral in my reels?

Bro how to grow A motivational quotes page? Please some tips 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m trying to bro, we gotta stay consistent
@@travelking5504 yeah
Have done videos on that before, check out my theme page growth or videos about my millionaire.dream page
That niche is very saturated

How come it doesn’t work when you place hashtags in comments opposed to the actual post itself?
just what Instagram says, it doesn't rank in search when in the comments according to them (L

How many "my stories" do you post per day?
between 5-10 a day, Iv tried using the stickers for engagement also @@samuraijedi1669

I’ve got a theme page I started in 2017. Not touched it for two years but thinking of starting it up again.
It’s for 300 followers.
Should I delete it and start fresh?
Makes little to no difference, older accounts can sometimes have more trust
@@JoshRyanthanks for replying
Im stuck with 5 followers and i don’t know what to do, any advice?
i write all my captions on reels and posts in two languages. would that confuse the algorithm?
Yes and it will confuse your audience too
when you mean repurpose, you mean make another video with the same text or really uploading the exat same file and video ? Thanks
Same video (:
alright, thanks for the tips ;).
@@JoshRyan
How often should you change out your Instagram highlights?
You can’t ask to tag mates, they crunch that in the algo
What do you mean crunch it in the algo? What does that mean
whats telegram accont?
I swear social media just picks and chooses who sees success. I've struggled for 4 years now. And I sew girls blow up overnight
Thank you for this ! My IG channel is finally growing . Now how do I get people to watch my UA-cam channel ? My show is doing so well on old fashioned broadcast television and people can watch it on television but I’m struggling to get views on UA-cam 😢
Any way you would do a video for product based business particularly handmade? We need help!
Though your tips have gotten me to 11.6k !
Hmm not really my expertise but look how you add humour or expertise to your industry
I’ve heard that repurposing your content to other platforms can get you shadow banned. Anybody ever experience this?
If it still has the watermark the reach will suck, yes
Your channel is different. But the background music is a bit distracting.
Too loud?
@@JoshRyanyes
I started uploading 2 reels per day and I lost 30 followers. Is this normal? The content i make isn’t absolute shit so I don’t know why people would unfollow
Maybe its just not the content those people enjoy?
@@JoshRyan I mean people followed me for one logical reason and that’s because I posted skate content and now im mainly focussed on music it’s a bit unusual for that many people to unfollow or not?
@@Musicbyeternity why do you think thats unusual? Am I missing something? People followed you for skate content and now you are posting twice a day about music? Of course they will unfollow
@@Musicbyeternity but thats okay, if you want to build an audience around music then do that and ride out the current low until it improves
never mind i just gained 20 followers back@@JoshRyan
lol. Every single one of my posts got zero non follower views. Then they changed my suggestion feed to nothing but landscape photos for over a year. Then when I started posting proof of that they started suggesting my posts to countries like Iran and Turkey. I eventually left.
My videos are finally getting over 1K views, but still no engagement and few likes.
does having hundreds or even thousands of posts on your account a bad thing? person i find it silly or unprofessional when people have so much posts on their accounts. it just seems like they’re “trying too hard” or “doing too much”
You’re worried people will think you’re trying to achieve something? If you’re worried about people thinking that you’re trying, you’ve already losr
@@JoshRyanno you’re so right. got to change that mindset because that’s already putting me up to fail, thanks.
Can you do it for me , I'll pay you what we decide on ?
Bro is living in the future 😂
Gotta get in early for the UA-cam algorithm haha
hacks lol! you have to pay for ads people- thats what rewards you- forget the rest its not working. they want your money! or why do you think is your newsfeed full of commercials and recommendations and not actually content you follow? think about it.
Truth.

Is this an Ai speaking or am I crazy? Lol
You might be crazy bro, what makes you think its AI? Will try make it more personable
I’m done with this algorithm bullshit
Thanks Josh excellent suggestions really enjoyed watching and listening to your presentation 🫶🫶

the link for your course is tagged as dangerous by chrome!!
Really? Can you send me a screenshot to josh@cleverpreneur.com if you have a moment? Don't want that
Probably because the link is "Http" and not "Https". "Http" is not as secure.
