I wanted to share something that I’ve been experiencing lately on Instagram, and I’m curious if you can relate. In the past, Instagram was my go-to platform for scrolling through pictures, connecting with friends, and sharing moments. However, it seems like the landscape has shifted, and I’m encountering more ads and suggested follows than ever before. It makes me wonder, “Where did all my friends go?”
If you’ve been feeling the same way, you’re not alone. Even my husband, who’s from a different generation, has expressed his disappointment with the current state of our Instagram feeds.
In fact, I recently discussed this very issue on Wednesday With Weezy.” During a conversation with Jerry Potter from Five Minute Social Media, we delved into the changes happening on Instagram and where content is now being shared. If you’re curious about the details, hit the play button to listen to our chat.
I also offer some valuable insights on how to make the most of your Instagram experience:
Let’s Dig into the 4 Tips
- How to use Feeds
- Engage with Stories
- Get creative with Reels
- Keep in touch through direct messages (DMs)
I do have a free webinar for shortform videos aka REELS.
Don’t be discouraged. Instagram is still a fantastic platform to use, but it may require a bit of adjustment, perhaps even a fresh perspective, to navigate it effectively.
How to use feeds
So how do we regain our feed post? In my conversation with Jerry, he suggested that we make our post more personable. Take lifestyle photos, in the post share about the photo, but make sure you are able to turn back to your business, offerings or service.
Engage With Stories
Take engaging photos and share in stories on Instagram. Asking questions are a great way to get response. Responses are made and received through direct messages.
Direct Message
Many people are now using direct messaging to communicate with those that they are close with. You can to, it continue more one on one conversations that start in your post or again via stories
Reels
I have purposely saved this for last. At this time, shortform videos are the strongest way to get noticed in Instagram. This is the first content that is pushed out to the public. Just make sure you make good video, not perfect, but a good plan, script, helps you be more confident when sharing your videos.
