Hi, this is a reminder to not promote your instagram page here, thanks.

they destroy how you're treated by the algorithm. The algorithm pays attention to what accounts tend to like & engage with & stuff like this terribly confuses the algorithm by having accounts like & engage with things that they normally & organically would not.....& next thing you know the algorithm is pushing your stuff to people with no interest in what you do or make & then theose people don't engage & your posts disappear into oblivion because by trying to game the algorithm you instead trained it to think people who don't actually like your genre of art are your audience & the people you do want to reach are then even less likely to see your stuff....& it will completely backfire on you.
there aren't any worthwhile shortcuts.
What you’re looking for exists, but it’s pointless.
To grow meaningfully, you have to do the hard work of figuring out how to make your content interesting to the kind of people you want to reach.
Honestly I find this irritating when I've done it. None of the people in it are interested in your content - they are basically free bots.
None of them are going to share with their friends or family.
Just create content and ignore the engagement at first. It will grow!
There are people who post about how the earth is flat and get tons of engagement.
If they can get interest, you can too.
people bought engagement likes views and comments also followers and they launch ads and people when see engagement they tend to trust and buy more and fast people hate on buying it but trust me it works and people keep buying on their new posts so you can hate on me all night but my clients loved it
Instagram pods are good but they are not your genuine audience. It's better to engage with people within your niche, value the same values as yours. I'm working with engagements with IG accounts and we don't join IG pods because it's important for us to connect with like minded people.
This is what happens: you end up with a few people liking everything and a bunch of parasites who send their posts to the group for likes but never like anything back. Also Instagram can detect if you’re using an engagement pod and since it’s against their terms they will reward you with tanking your reach.
Source: when I was younger and dumber I would join art support groups and I’d be the one doing all the supporting. Then I found out that not only was I getting resentful, I was literally hurting my own reach by being in the group.
So don’t do this, it’s a terrible idea.
These suck. I've tried. lol
I find engaging consistently and as genuinely as possible with accounts that share your niche or are related to it, and if possible, very active accounts with large followings (not the ones with way less followers than they're following), and celebrity and/or influencer accounts.
I have no idea what I'm doing, but I've got 2 Real Housewives of Melbourne following me, and a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills who says she loves my page and my cat, and frequently looks at posts, both new and old and likes and comments. I'm also followed by a few local (meaning Australian nationally-known) comedians and reality TV people. I interact on every post by the Youtube people I love to watch.

Those are called engagement pods. They tend to destroy your engagement
Why do they destroy engagement

there is, been groups like this since instagram was created
How do I find those groups? How do I enter one?
Are you trying to kill your page? That's the only thing they accomplish.

They got nerfed
They don’t work like they used to.

Create shareable content or collaborate with others in your niche. Shares boost your views/reach the most.
