7 things you should keep in mind on Instagram after posting

Instagram tutorial

After you’ve posted on Instagram, you should take a thing or two to heart so you can get the most out of your reach. From using your Instagram Story, to replying to comments, we’ve summarized for you the 7 most important things to consider after posting.

Why are some posts played out longer and more often than others?

What should you actually do right after a post on Instagram? Can you influence the success and reach yourself? And why is a post sometimes only played for a few hours and sometimes for several days?
After posting a post on Instagram, it’s important that every impression you receive also triggers a reaction from users. So when users see your post, Instagram wants them to respond to it with a Like, Share, or Save. If, after you post something, your followers don’t react to it even though they’ve seen it, Instagram won’t even play it out on the Explore Page. So after posting, interaction is crucial to how long Instagram plays out a post. You can influence this process by observing the following points.

Note on Instagram after posting - interact and use Story function

I’m sure many of you have heard that you should always share a new post in your story as well. This way you make sure that as many followers as possible see it and interact with it. It is important that you share the post in such a way that it cannot be seen in its entirety. Write something to it or cover a part so that your followers interact with the post.
Responds to open comments from previous posts. If you respond to them, then the author of the comment will be notified that you have responded to their comment. This way they will come back to your profile and see the new post. Since the user has interacted with your content before, it is likely that they will also interact with the latest post.

Note niche hashtags

Liked and commented on users who interacted with recent posts. Again, there is a high probability that they will also respond to the new post. In addition, these users will once again become aware of you. Like and comment on the first 10 images in the Home Feed. This way, the users who are currently active will receive a notification and will become aware of you. Search for recent hashtags of your niche and interact with recently posted content. Most users are still online, because they have just posted something and become aware of you.

Pay attention on Instagram after posting - The first hour is crucial

Reply to every comment in the first hour after you post something. The first hour is the most important, so you should take this time very carefully. Pin comments. On Instagram there is the possibility to pin comments under a post. Use this option to influence the mood of your posts and encourage users to comment on them. In addition, you show appreciation for the author of a comment, because he receives a notification that you have pinned his comment. It is very likely that the latter will comment again in the future. Discussions or conversations also often arise after pinning comments with good content.
