Just to throw this out there. As a band, we have taken a bunch of these ideas (having a content wheel, carousel posts, longer form text, moderately popular hash tags, etc.) and started putting them into practice and we have had very interesting results. For some reason beyond our understanding , the reach of our posts hasn't changed, if anything it has decreased. However, the engagement has definitely increased (specially in our DMs), we had more people reaching out to us, asking for collaborations and feeding us ideas for future content. Admittedly it's still early days but we very curious to know if anyone has had similar results...
I don't post often on instagram but when I do post its usually just a recap of what I've been up to for the past couple weeks and I'll just compile it in to one post. Every time I do this the post performs very well. If I dropped 12 singles in a month, by the end of the month I'll make a whole post about it. This strategy has been very effective and it gets more engagement then when I post once every week or once every day. I prefer to post once a month on the feed and a couple times per day in my stories. UA-cam is far more important for musicians at this point IMO. This is just my take on this subject, this was a great video, keep it up!
Dude, this is the best video on this I have seen. I have just started a project and was searching hashtags, following accounts, leaving engaging comments but did not understand what was enjoyable about instagram. It felt like work to make a number go up to make people listen to my music. I love the ideas in here, it makes instagram this creative endeavor alongside your music.
Wise words not to over-glorify IG. It can seem unavoidable for artists apply that philosophy, but it's easier when you begin focusing on developing your domain and products outside the app. Great video as always, Circa

Very good opinion G and if it works for you stick to it !
Okay. I can't believe I'm actually hearing something new instead of the same crap everyone else is saying.

Agreed !
Definitely gained a new follower/subscriber/fan whatever you want to call me Lol. Appreciate the advice you give. Thanks
Just stumbled over your video and I have to say: Nice one, really like your perspective on things here. I'm on board :)
Love this Circa - one of your best videos yet. I love how enthused yhou are in your videos right now.
Thats helpful feedback man! Since handing down the Creative Juice mic to Jack, I think a lot of my podcast energy is ending up in the videos now =)
LOL you totally made this video after I posted in the Indie group! I guess it’s been something you’ve been hearing about a lot lately
Full video on topic wheels?

Just what I needed... more IG videos please :)) thanks guys
Outstanding, thanks Circa. I learned a lot and can't wait to implement a ton of it into my process.

thanks Brett!
Great vid as always, much love to the indies out there 🔥
High praise from a great man!
Yeah it’s the indie helpline I love full stack
I've never seen an AD from a musician in instagram. Why?
This is great advice that I'm gonna utilize💯🔥 Along with a few other systems from Indepreneur. Thanks Circa
Agreed always great content here
I feel like my topic wheel would look a lot like Circa's ! While I knew on a level that would probably be fine, it was validating to hear lol
You should make a video on SubmitHub
Facts !!!!
Boyz N the Hood!

I've blocked people for spamming my comments! It's ridiculous! Don't do it!! Ha. Thanks for you vid! Still watching, but can relate already! Thx. :)
What is your instagram?
@indepreneur
Thanks for cutting through the bullshit!
And I’m gonna delete it ‼️😂💪🏽
Stim social sucks
look at yourself in the mirror bro
You mean more than the 2 hours a day I already do?
You make a video for musicians and then you use a comedian for examples of what to do LOOOL. scam.
You're an idiot
