How to grow on Instagram reels?

I went from 1000 followers to 215,000 followers in 8 months and here is what I learnt!

If you're just starting out, this is a great time. With recent changes to the algorithm, Instagram is promoting smaller pages more than ever. (1/n)

1) Pick a niche. Something that hasn't been done before. Create your own style, the accounts that have grown the fastest have had a first mover advantage in their niche. (2/n)

2) Quantity over Quality. Trust me the algorithm loves small accounts. Even if the content is marginally good IG algorithm will promote it. Upload twice daily if possible until you get a viral video. This doesn't mean you compromise a lot on quality though. (3/n)

3) Trends. The algorithm understands trending music and heavily promotes videos on trending music! If you can use those trends with your niche. (4/n)

4) Now lets talk about Content:
4.1 Entertain as much as possible. No one comes to Instagram to learn. Package information with entertainment. (5/n)
