Instagram "followers" are users who have chosen to follow your profile and see your posts in their feeds. If the number of followers are decreasing while you are expecting the opposite, go over the following to detect the reason: • Stop buying followers: Stop buying followers immediately. When they drop off, bought followers often lack engagement and lower your account's visibility.
• Avoid follow-for-follow schemes: They may increase your follower count, but they usually lead to irrelevant and disengaged followers. Instead, focus on real Instagram growth strategies like profile optimization, theme consistency, and giveaways.
• Abandon Automated Likes and Comments: They may be convenient, but they can damage follower trust. Read captions, like posts, and leave meaningful comments to connect with your audience. • Clarify Your Brand Image: Your Instagram profile, bio, and feed should reflect your brand's identity and purpose. Maintain a consistent brand image by curating content, colors, hashtags, language, and emojis.
• Increase Engagement: Low engagement rates can hurt follower retention. Create high-engagement posts and interact with other accounts to optimize Instagram's algorithm.
• Maintain a Posting Schedule: Inconsistency can lose followers. Stick to a posting schedule that matches your audience's activity. Over time, consistency builds trust and loyalty.
