  • Who wants to join a 30-day Grow Your Instagram Challenge?

    Rachel Knox Posted by Rachel Knox on 2024-06-10 at 2:37 AM

    Hi all,

    I am looking for Instagram users who want to grow their account with consistent daily (or at least 3-4 weekly) posts for 30 days. This will start the coming weekend from **Saturday 15th June.**

    The idea is from Matt Gray who is an expert in social media growth. 

    The intention is to work the algorithm by daily posting and interacting with others on a similar algorithm. It would work by joining a Whatsapp group and following each other’s accounts. And giving a like and comment on each other’s posts for the duration of the challenge. Most of the time will be spent creating your own posts as it doesn’t take long to give a like and comment to the others. I thought if we limit the group to about 7-10 people, it won’t be onerous. If a lot want to join then it could be 2 groups for different time zones.

    If the interaction is done in the first hour of posting it helps the algorithm more. So we would use the Whatsapp group to share our latest post to notify the others when we have posted. People can then go on and like/comment the post within the hour if possible or at least the same day.

    With different time zones, it may be necessary to have 3 set times a day for posting. I’ll work it out and will provide a timezone converter table!

    If you want to join please send me your mobile number for the Whatsapp group by private message or email [email protected].

    The challenge will run from 15th June to 15th July but it could become a regular thing or go to 60 days if people want to continue! {yellow}:inlove:  

    Here’s some ideas:

    Hey Rachel! I would be up for this starting maybe mid-July? I’ve only just seen it so I don’t have enough time to prepare – but would be up for trying this out with a group at a slightly later date. Let me know! I’m @ritualkitchen.co on instagram – at the moment I’m growing in real life events around creativity and plants. (and introducing my other work through that as a way to have people meet me in real life)

    @olivia-sayward Hi there. Sounds good. The challenge is quite casual, I’m not doing it as a strict daily posting challenge. I aim to post daily, but some others do a few a week. I’m not sure what will come after the first 30 days, but hopefully the group will want to do it again. It’s nice to have a supportive focus group anyways. I’ll follow your Instagram, but let me know when you want to be added to the group by sending me your whatsapp number.

    This sounds very interesting!  If you guys continue and do one for July I am game.  These social media things really puzzle me and I need all the help I can get 😆 , My instagram is very neglected indeed!

    @natasha-parvin Hi Natasha, if you want to join now you can send me your number by PM and I’ll add you to the Whatsapp group. We still have 20 days of this challenge so it’s worth doing. Not everyone is posting every day, just when they can but it’s nice having a support group. :u+2764:

    @luminis Rachel hello! What a gorgeous idea! If you have a new group in the future, please count me in! I have a question though, the ’30 days of content’ above, is it a ‘must’ or is it flexible?

    @stephanie-shek Hi it’s flexible. It’s just a small supportive group, most have not posted daily. You’re welcome to join if you want to send your number.

    @ana-cerram64gmail-com Hi, it definitely made a difference for me. I had only a few posts and about 30 followers before I started. It got me to make enough posts so my account doesn’t look totally new anymore and also now about 85 followers which is not much but there was a clear increase in engagement in the stats (business accounts show performance stats). But I think the best thing is just having a friendly support group, that is the biggest win. Instagram is quite hard to break into but I prefer it to Facebook

    @ana-cerram64gmail-com I didn’t have a goal apart from posting every day. I had only about 10 more followers since started but yes the stat showed a lot more reach. I feel like I’m training some new muscles – the reel can only be 90 seconds so I have to say what I want to say within that time frame, and I notice my surrounding more because I have to take videos, and I practise my voice with the voice over. All round training for creativity and productivity! And Thanks to Rachel, I feel so good to be doing with everyone’s support!

    thank you Rachel, yeah if you gain 50 follows in a month it’s sound good on IG , can i ask you what is your group on FB ? i would like to join 

    Stephanie, i wish you good luck, i find IG hard to break into too, it require a lot of time/energy for long term results, i think is good to have a one year or two years plan for it 🙂

    @ana-cerram64gmail-com Yes, definitely a long game. I don’t expect too much from Instagram, but I quite like the platform. I don’t have a FB group, I made a page and got no further than that! I only have 2 support groups for YouTube and Instagram which are connected on Whatsapp. You’re welcome to join those if you want.
