Like you, it's been a while since I've posted, but I mostly browse because there's just so much work to do daily. I guess it's time to give back and also because GFY is telling me I should do more with myself than being a leech on GFY every time I log in...

I really like your content, especially as it has to do with things around filmography. You can create a specific aesthetic to your account (filters or type of post to stylize it a bit more), as well as creating a content schedule to establish who you are what what people should expect from your account.
To grow your followers, there are many different approaches to this. But here are some basics:
- IG is like FB in that the more you engage and post, specifically with the people who follow you, the more likely they are to see and engage with your posts. But so what does that have to do with adding more followers? See next bullet point.
- As your followers become more engaged with you, you will start to show up as a recommended account to the followers of the accounts who have engaged with you.
- To grow outside of your current ecosystem, you can do the following:
- Engage with others (like, comment) and if they find your account interesting enough, they will follow you back.
- Use the RIGHT hashtags that "reach" people outside of your ecosystem. Yes, this works and I've tested this over and over again with the hundreds of accounts we manage. The right hashtags for your post depend on a few things, including the current stats for your account (number of followers, average number of likes per post, etc.) and the stats for that specific hashtag (how many people have used it in their post, which posts get featured and their stats, etc.)
- Post regularly to show that you are engaged on the IG platform and IG will give priority to your posts.
My credentials:
- I developed the first Instagram sponsored post calculator based on IG algorithms and other SEO signals.
- I've been quoted in different publications and big brands have reached out to me for my advice and help.
- I'm actually my own best case study as I started from 0, developed my profile as an expert in a field in the same year that I started and all of this via social networks.
- I've grown thousands of accounts from nothing to achieve specific objectives such as more bookings, more sales, more exposure, etc.
- I've worked directly with programmers at FB (that's all I can say about that)
