Here's what you need to do if your Instagram engagement is dropping

There’s a good chance that you’re not getting as many likes and comments as you used to on your Instagram account. Here’s something you should know if you’re not getting the engagement you’ve come to expect. You’re not the only person experiencing a drop in engagement.

Instagram has never been bigger. The social network has a billion active users with more than 500 million daily Story users. At the same time, Facebook business accounts used to be receiving a great deal of likes and comments that Instagram business accounts once had. Facebook has moved in the direction of rewarding businesses that spend more and more money to run Facebook ads. The reality is that Instagram is very likely following the same path as Facebook. Organic reach and engagement is going down and that’s a fact.

3 things you shouldn’t quit doing on Instagram

Although the amount of likes and comments you receive on your Instagram posts are dropping, it doesn’t mean that you should give up on Instagram. You can still experience success on Instagram whether you’re focused a B2B or B2C sales. Below are three things you need to continue doing.

Invest in Instagram Stories

While organic engagement has been going down rather drastically for some accounts since January 2019, Story usage has been going up. From what we’ve seen, some Instagram accounts are getting as many as 50% more views on Stories in recent months. Instagram Stories are a great way to announce sales and discounts. It’s also an effective feature to broadcast events and share timely content.

Post consistently

Don’t give up on posting regularly to your Instagram account. When you’re active on a consistent basis, you give your business more chances to be discovered in Instagram’s search tool. Aim for daily posts. If you don’t have the bandwidth to do that then post at least three times a week. Be sure to include hashtags and location tags so more people can find your Instagram profile.

Engage with relevant content

Remember that one of the keys to succeeding on social media is to be social. Make time every day to like and comment on relevant posts. It’s a free way to give some love back and find more accounts you can collaborate with. Engaging with relevant content will also help you increase your chances of being discovered by other audiences.

You can find relevant posts by using Instagram’s search tool. Type in a specific hashtag that is unique to your business. If you’re in the potty training business, use #pottytraining. The same goes for fashion and other industries. Another way to find relevant content is by searching location tags. Engaging with posts that have location tags are an effective way to get more customers if you have a location-based business like a restaurant.

Content creation

How do you go about creating content? How do you know which types of content you should focus on? What if you’re not a great writer or don’t know how to produce videos?

The answer is you do what you’re capable of and what you can constantly produce on a regular basis. You also do what you can with the time and resources that you have. If you only have writing skills, create weekly blog posts. On the other hand, you can produce quick videos and would rather do that, go for it! In the event that you have the resources to pay someone else to create content, that may be the best option if your business skillset doesn’t include blog writing, video creation, or graphic design.

Focus on creating content that helps your customers solve the problems they’re dealing with. Helping them find answers should be your goal with every piece of marketing content you provide.

Distribution

Now that you have several pieces of killer content lined up, the next thing you need to do is share them. The best thing to do is to distribute your content on the platforms your customers spend the most time on. If your ideal customer doesn’t spend anytime on Twitter but is active on Instagram, focus on distributing content on Instagram. Be present and active where your customers are. In the event that your customers uses everything from Facebook to email, share your content on everything from Twitter to email. Give your brand as many opportunities as possible to be discovered.

Calendar

Putting a calendar to work for you will relieve stress and keep you on schedule.

After figuring out your distribution channels, decide on how often you’ll be sharing content. Depending on your bandwidth, you can choose to share content once a week, three times a week, or everyday. You could’ve share your new, original content twice a week if that works best for you. It’s a good idea to plan out a simple content calendar to help you stay on track and ensure that you’re posting consistently. Here are a few ways a calendar can help you:

  • Establish deadlines for drafts of content

  • Plan out timelines for content production which is especially key for more demanding projects such as white papers and high-end videos

  • Increased accountability to yourself and your team

Consistency is vital to your success with content marketing. When you’re consistent, you build a real brand and will increase sales over time.
