📸 Growing on Instagram in 2025

Instagram keeps reinventing itself, and right now the algorithm is all about video + engagement. Here are some strategies working today:

1️⃣ Reels dominate – Short, fast-paced videos are still the best way to reach new audiences.
2️⃣ Carousel posts = saves & shares – Step-by-step guides or tips in carousels drive way more interaction than single images.
3️⃣ Captions that tell a story – Pairing strong visuals with relatable, longer captions keeps people hooked.
4️⃣ Consistency is king – Daily Stories keep you at the top of followers’ feeds.
5️⃣ Hashtags + audio trends – Use a mix of niche hashtags and trending audios to maximize reach.
