I always do 4 things 👇👇👇: 1) Color scheme 2) Up to 5 facts per image (usually 2) then have multiple carousel posts 3) Good written 1st sentence of description which is visible in the begining 4) Last post must have Call to action (sve post, like and/or comment)
Really helpful insights, thanks a lot for sharing your social medial knowledge! I would add an additional point too...I always unfollow people who post 2/3 times a day every day. I really don’t want to have the same accounts popping up in my feed all the time, even if the content is valuable.
4:04 seriously it gets annoying. Even when people ask me to Subscribe before I've seen the video it rubs me the wrong way bc I want to get won over while watching :-D
I really like how you explain the importance of connecting with others, that helped me to get some new followers, but also to get new friends and that’s more important than followers i don’t know and they don’t know me. Thank you so much for your content and keep on😍
@@Invisibletoday I place more emphasis on attracting people as followers that actually want to improve themselves. I don’t need the spotlight, but I’m not afraid of it either. I know who I am and all I want is for those who follow me to call upon me to serve them. The number of followers will increase, but only when I stay true to my passion and share it.
I don't really care if most choose to not follow me or unfollow me because i'm not here to please other i love and rather stay true to myself being myself doing what makes me happy doing social media and youtube just for fun i don't wanna be someone that i'm not and i don't want to be popular at all either i don't like and don't care about popularity i don't want to grow
I like your simple no waffle I had 3500 followers in Feb 2021 nothing but continuous spam so I deleted and made a new account with very few followers I had about 200 quality followers in tge art world the only regret I have is not telling them where I was going.....followers don't equate to sales....Good health...
Thanks for your video. I'm a new subscriber here. You are probably right about everything you said in this video. I consider myself a mere snapshotter (regardless of what others think), and I mainly post on Instagram nowadays. Naturally, there is no artist statement; a snapshotter who is keen on casual mobile photography doesn't need one. I've got a few hundred followers for my 3 accounts in total. I've noticed a few things, though. 1) I sometimes get weird communication from travellers and influencers with thousands of followers who invite me to follow them but never care to like any posts of mine. This is totally strange and inappropriate. I no longer bother to check their content. When I find someone of interest to me, I always look at their first photos and their last ones, at the very least. 2) I 'm from a small European country and some people follow me because we're from the same country, where the number of decent photographers is limited, but I've also seen Turkish photographers trying to stick together, too. This 'guy from the same block' sentiment seems to work. 3) Grid clarity may be a very good thing but sometimes it leads to using the same formula over and over again. People have learned that pictures with strong lines and high contrast look good on Instagram, as opposed to large prints with lots of detail, and they keep squeezing photos out from the same spot in the street, using the same scheme or theme (a cliche) over and over again. Their output becomes very predictable at that point. 4) Some people who follow one of my acounts say they won't follow my main account because my face or real name is not shown there, LOL, and also probably because I very rarely take selfies or repost pictures with me in the frame. I prefer obscurity, to the point that I very rarely mention the exaxt location where the photo has been taken. People sometimes have problems with their attitude, where there should be none. So the photographer is not the only one to blame when the numbers are not high enough (if that's important at all).
Great advice.. Thank you for bringing awesome content... Currently I don’t have many followers but I need to focus to bring value and great content to benefit others 👍🏻🤙🏼
These are some of the best tips! You make it so easy to follow and understand the importance of each action and it’s desired result. I’ll watch all of your videos over and over. Greatly appreciate the resource!
Just found your channel, awesome stuff man! You seem to do a lot (Instagram/UA-cam/Photography/Music) - which do you find brings you the most fulfilment?
Hi. Thanks for sharing. The reasons might be different. -Your Hashtags aren't working -Instagram algorithm change -Wrong timing / Monday, Tuesday, and Friday at 11 am and Tuesday at 2 pm are now the best time to post on Instagram. Even weekends are good times to post on Instagram to get good engagement now, though they never used to compete. The worst time to post on Instagram is after 6 pm when individuals have finished work for the day. Low-quality content Instagram can often reduce the quality of your images during uploads for a wide number of reasons, but if you're looking to maintain quality then you should look to upload a high-quality, compressed JPEG file (max resolution: 1080 x 1350px) directly from your mobile. You can upload your pictures from your computer using Deskgram, edit your photos with Canva, or go live from your PC or Mac using yellowduck .tv.
Hi Jonny. I love all of your helpful advice here and on so many of your videos I've just discovered. Love your accent too - very reassuring! I'm going to start implementing your tips as I have been stagnant on Instagram for months and have been wondering why. I was thinking it was just bots but now realise it's actually me that's all over the place! Love how you're also a musician yet so focussed on your photography (pun totally intended!). Thanks so much for your help.
Hi, hope your well.thanks so much for the tip. 😎I am a composer ,musician and a photographer. Just wondering in the content if we can have our own compositions to interpret our photographs? I am quite busy don’t have time to have more than one page 😎
Dude, keep doing this, there are so few honest people talking about social media, most people are full of Sh*t. But your stuff is honest , authentic and feels just natural than all the guys trying to get lambos, Y'know what I mean! Awesome content Jonny!
Thanks for the honesty and advise. I started messaging people who decided to follow me, thank them, check their posts and engage in conversations. Like this I met people from all around the world and it is much more satisfying than the pure follow for follow!!
Damn man, great tips, thank you! Immediatelly adopted some changes to my bio, grid and will implement patterns for better consistency and look! Just have to be patient and wait for results I guess.. @_youenglish_ :D cheers!
Some big account started from small...n they took ard 10 years(give n take) to blow up to a few hundred k of followers. I'm just taking it easy nowadays...just post QUALITY content..certain things just can't be forced.. ppl come n ppl go..but it's those that stayed for your "show" that matters. Posting everyday? Really depends on the niche but i've learnt that if you wanna post everyday, u got to post the "good" stuff that ppl will SHARE & SAVED. Posting selfie should do it under "private" acct maybe...unless ya a celeb...😅😅 thanks uncle JK
@@philmaturanodrums Impossible to accurately explain, but highly unlikely that it's solely paid. I think more importantly, explain why someone would pay to gain 6000 followers with only 3 photos on their account? Where's the ROI?
@@ItsJonnyKeeley Because women lives are totally different then ours. The shallowness of social media is on full display in this cases. These women get people to sponsor them and they post products in stories. We are male....Instagram wants us to pay. Women with seductive looks...free. Instagram sucks
Brand new follower and subscriber. I was just trying to decide what I most appreciated about your videos and had landed on your clear articulation when I got to the point in your video when you said that is exactly what you have found most people like about your videos (vs specific content). So needless to say, I am even more impressed than I was at the beginning. You have given me some hope that it is worth kicking back into gear on Instagram. I may already have ENOUGH followers.
I delete posts if I don't like the way the make my grid, but as long as they fit in context I'm happy to leave older images. In fact I think it's helpful for beginners for all the reasons I stated in this video.
I implemented some of your changes (consistency in my feed, showing more personality in captions). I noticed an improvement right away. As a photographer of the boring and mundane, it is a tough niche to stand out in. Cheers!
I totally agree with the integrations part and that's actually now my favourite part. I am having genuine interactions every day! :)
I always do 4 things 👇👇👇:
1) Color scheme
2) Up to 5 facts per image (usually 2) then have multiple carousel posts
3) Good written 1st sentence of description which is visible in the begining
4) Last post must have Call to action (sve post, like and/or comment)
Good call!

Thank you, you gotta stay real!

Thank YOU for the piece of advice n° 10 ... Really...
My pleasure Jim, glad it was helpful.
I really like how you explain the importance of connecting with others, that helped me to get some new followers, but also to get new friends and that’s more important than followers i don’t know and they don’t know me. Thank you so much for your content and keep on😍
Really loved it.
I'm less concerned with the amount of followers and more concerned with motivating people to take action on their mental health and emotional health
Then you’re on the wrong video
@@Invisibletoday please clarify
@@GeminiMediaAV Why are you on this video about followers if you’re not concerned about them
@@Invisibletoday I place more emphasis on attracting people as followers that actually want to improve themselves. I don’t need the spotlight, but I’m not afraid of it either. I know who I am and all I want is for those who follow me to call upon me to serve them. The number of followers will increase, but only when I stay true to my passion and share it.
@@GeminiMediaAV Yeah i understand that but this probably isnt the video for that but hey who am i to question it
There is some accounts have 10 pics and 20000 followers
Thank you for this one! You're putting sanity back into social media.
I'm glad it was helpful.
I don't really care if most choose to not follow me or unfollow me because i'm not here to please other i love and rather stay true to myself being myself doing what makes me happy doing social media and youtube just for fun i don't wanna be someone that i'm not and i don't want to be popular at all either i don't like and don't care about popularity i don't want to grow
I'm pretty sure it's actually because I'm just a mediocre photographer
This is a great insight on instagram. So much more deeper than all the other shit out there. Fuckin rights.
mine was just i was gone for a year
I like your simple no waffle I had 3500 followers in Feb 2021 nothing but continuous spam so I deleted and made a new account with very few followers I had about 200 quality followers in tge art world the only regret I have is not telling them where I was going.....followers don't equate to sales....Good health...
This is probably the best video I’ve seen on Instagram, specifically, how to simply interact correctly so as to maximize the platform. Excellent!
I wanted to hit that like button 11 times... 😉
Thanks buddy!

Social media is about $$$ want followers? Pay. Its not the way it used to be.
To be honest if you don't have everything in place to gain organic followers your promotions won't yield any results either.
@@ItsJonnyKeeley of course
@@ItsJonnyKeeley im not sure bout that actually. I have seen girls accounts with 3 photos on their feed have 6000 followers. How do we explain that?

Gratz bro!
Great video, very useful advice.
I have a Photography account (photo.nerdy) but not getting enough audience even I post daily...
You're not alone. A lot of other photographers are facing the same thing.
Love this video! Love the tips. Definitely different opinions from others on this topic!
Thanks mate, glad it helped.
Haha I think I hit every point here
brilliant video
Thank you
Clear explanation! Thank you for the great advise.
My pleasure
Thanks as always Jonny , i realised that i really need to work on number 2 , appreciate all your help
Thank you for this.
Great stuff man 🙌🏻 , can posting too much hurt? That includes post and stories
It can but as long as you aren't posting multiple daily you'll be fine.
Love it! Your advice is helpful as always!
I implemented some of your changes (consistency in my feed, showing more personality in captions). I noticed an improvement right away. As a photographer of the boring and mundane, it is a tough niche to stand out in. Cheers!
Ah great, congrats on the improvements mate!
Love your channel 🔥 🔥
Great video
Love your content, you gained a new subscriber. ❤
Thanks so much Adelle

Thank you!
You're great.
Thank you!

Perception IS the reality ... what you think you are putting out there is largely irrelevant - what others think you are posting is the actual reality
Very informative video. Well explained. Thank you😊
