I think there has never been a better time to do it, but it\u2019s a little different than back in 2017, when I started <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theminimalistwardrobe.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Minimalist Wardrobe<\/a>\u2014a community with now +220k followers <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/theminimalistwardrobe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First off, there\u2019s definitely more competition for attention every year. You\u2019re up against more content and better content than ever, so simply compiling neat images together doesn\u2019t fly anymore. You need something good. There\u2019s no way around that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a positive aspect to this, however. When you build something you\u2019re able to grow in 2021, your audience will be more valuable. The extra effort that\u2019s needed today will pay off when it comes to monetizing the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back when it was easier to grow an Instagram account, an account with a million followers could be worth close to zero if you hadn\u2019t put any thought or effort into building a meaningful audience\u2014something which was common since new followers were easier to get. That\u2019s not such a common trap anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, Instagram\u2019s user base today is huge, so your chances of finding yourself an audience for virtually anything is a reality. You won\u2019t run out of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly\u2014and this is my personal opinion, you of course never know\u2014I don\u2019t think Instagram is going anywhere anytime soon. I really think it has cemented its presence in our lives for the foreseeable future. Say what you want about Instagram\u2019s business tactics of buying competitors and copying their businesses into features (e.g. Snapchat and TikTok), but they\u2019re effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I\u2019m trying to say, is that investing effort into building an audience on Instagram is in my opinion a safe bet, in terms of the platform being here for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yes. You can definitely grow an audience on Instagram in 2021. It can\u2019t be done without a proper strategy, but the potential is almost limitless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-cottonbro-5053738-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-cottonbro-5053738-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-cottonbro-5053738-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-cottonbro-5053738-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-cottonbro-5053738-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-cottonbro-5053738-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-cottonbro-5053738-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Unorthodox Approach to Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have an ecommerce client who has struggled to grow their audience on Instagram, even after a year of focused effort to post more meaningful and visually pleasing content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When taking a closer look at their account, they weren\u2019t doing anything particularly wrong. Sure, there were many things to improve on that undoubtedly would increase their growth\u2014such as using hashtags more effectively and positioning posts to convert new followers better\u2014but nothing drastic that would magically take them from growing a couple hundred followers per month to a couple hundred followers per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem isn\u2019t how they run their account. It\u2019s the type of account they have. They have a standard brand account, where they showcase their products, repost pics by their customers, post about behind the scenes stuff (upcoming products etc.), and educate their customer base about how to get the most out of their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broadly speaking it\u2019s a well run Instagram account. These types of accounts just aren\u2019t meant to drive growth with. They\u2019re meant to serve your existing customers and to convert people who are already looking for the products you sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we decided to set up a secondary account as a growth engine. <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/better-marketing\/for-maximum-growth-via-instagram-create-a-secondary-account-3f56920835f4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The idea<\/a> is to create something that can attract the target audience, even if they\u2019re not ready to buy our product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later we\u2019ll set up funnels, so that when people are researching for products, they can easily find and follow the main account. These could be story highlights leading the the main account, regular mentions on the feed, or even direct story links to the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The secondary account is more of a \u201ctheme account\u201d\u2014an account dedicated for a topic, an interest, or a philosophy. You could think of it like an online magazine. In this particular case we decided to create an account for a certain type of decor inspiration, which our product obviously goes perfectly with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of setup gives us the ability to grow and reach new people at a significantly faster rate, primarily for two reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We have a much larger pool of people to go after. Simply being interested in the niche we operate in is enough. No buying intent is needed yet.<\/li><li>The secondary account much better at converting new people into followers because it\u2019s more interesting and not selling anything directly.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re just starting now, so let\u2019s see how it goes in this case. It\u2019s not something you can just set and forget\u2014there\u2019s definitely work to be done. But from everything I\u2019ve seen on Instagram, including what I\u2019m doing personally, this will work like a charm when executed correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-pixabay-248533-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-pixabay-248533-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-pixabay-248533-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-pixabay-248533-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-pixabay-248533-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-pixabay-248533-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/getstencil.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/pexels-pixabay-248533-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 3 Cornerstones of a Successful Instagram Post<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If I\u2019ve managed to convince you that Instagram is a more lucrative channel than ever, even with its challenges, and if the secondary account approach motivated you to try something similar, here are some actionable and evergreen tips for engaging Instagram posts. These hold true however you use your Instagram account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A successful Instagram post is\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visual &amp; relevant:<\/strong> Make the post about the photo \/ video. Try to communicate mostly through the media and use the caption to support and to clarify. A common mistake I see is a photo with a completely irrelevant caption. These posts almost never do well. People like when they \u201cget\u201d the post in a second, which doesn\u2019t happen when the media and caption aren\u2019t tied together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inspirational &amp; motivational:<\/strong> Instagram is a place where people go to zone out and to daydream. Inspirational and motivational stuff give small dopamine boosts that are exactly what people hope to get from Instagram. Funny shit works too, but it\u2019s way harder to nail on a constant basis, unless you\u2019re just really funny. Educational stuff is overused and not ideal. Inspire on IG &amp; educate on your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Punchy &amp; simple:<\/strong> People in Instagram browsing mode have no attention spans. Keep ideas simple and get to the point fast. Don\u2019t make them work for that dopamine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, stuff can work despite you checking off all of these perfectly, and sometimes it makes sense to go for a longer, educational post\u2014but most of the time these are the general rules to follow on Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it still possible to grow an audience on Instagram in 2021?
