The 3 biggest mistakes on Instagram - These rules you should follow

To be successful on Instagram, you should follow a few rules. However, what happens is that users make the same mistakes over and over again, and as a result, they don’t continue to grow. If you feel the same way, read this article to the end. Let’s start with the first mistake.

The 3 biggest mistakes on Instagram- You don't pay attention to the algorithm and rules

Like any social media platform, Instagram has an algorithm that you can’t outsmart. This means that you need to pay attention to and do certain things in order to be successful on the platform. Some things about it are as follows. Make sure you post regularly and reply to comments. Don’t promote other social media platforms too often and don’t repost videos from other apps, such as your TikTok account. Post your content first in Stories and don’t post too often from other accounts. After posting, do not edit the post for 24 hours and provide the real location. Be active in the app yourself, like and comment on other posts and follow other accounts back. Don’t send too many requests or unfollow too many accounts in one day. Also, you need to follow the rules of the game by trying to use all the features of the app. At the moment, video content is more important than photo content for Instagram. Posts therefore mostly videos. Uses Instagram Reels and related features, such as the music or O-Tones. And most importantly, don’t buy engagement or followers. The algorithm also understands this and it works out badly for you in the long run.

Mistake #2: Your content is too diverse

To be successful on Instagram, you should understand who your target audience is and what your followers want to see from you. If your content and your account’s message don’t match, your followers won’t like your posts and will unfollow you in the long run. For example, if you have an account about fitness and motivation and your posts are mainly about food, then at first glance it might fit together because the two topics are related, but they are still two different topics in this example. Therefore, check very carefully whether your account also stands for what you intend to share in terms of content. Similarly, if you post too jumbled. If we stick with the fitness example and you keep posting different topics, like sometimes a political topic, sometimes your partner, and sometimes a sunset, it’s too jumbled for your followers. Stay true to your niche and try to give your followers the content they followed you for.

The 3 biggest mistakes on Instagram - perfectionism

Instagram is an app that wants to be used, which is all about sharing our lives and moments with others. Stories are to be made with the cell phone and the functions, such as various filters and sounds, are to be used. The more we think about when to post, which and how many hashtags to use, the more we don’t use the app the way it was intended for users. Companies and bloggers are the most active on the platform at the moment. However, Instagram wants every user to use the app to share their personal content. So don’t focus on doing everything perfectly and posting in the best quality, but also use many of the app’s functions spontaneously. Always posting at the same time with the same hashtags without using all the app’s features unfortunately doesn’t work on Instagram in 2021.
