Look for the best Instagram posting time and initiate your Live Session.

Tip 3: Share User Generated Content to Generate Engagement for Instagram Posts

Before we begin on this point — we would like to tell you that you do not have to treat your Instagram account as a one-way street, social media is a conversation and not a broadcast. Make sure you are listening to your audience and interacting with them when they reach out to you.

One of the ways to increase engagement on your posts and overall social media account is to reposting on IG or share your audience content — deep dive into maintaining and growing User Generated Content. For example, if someone tags your brand in a post, share that up in your story! The consumer is also going to have a feel-good factor. They will feel thrilled that you are listening, and other followers may be compelled to start tagging you in their own post for ‘the fame’.

Tip 4: Dwell In Creating Content That Drives Your Audience To Engage

Creating content on IG — needs to ultimately result in increased engagement. Try doing content once a week where you are urging your audience to interact such as tag your best-friend to win this hamper, or do regular stories utilising the inbuilt features such as Polls, Quiz, Ask Me Questions — this urges your audience to interact and engage.

This will ultimately result in increased engagement — give it a shot, today!

And once, our audience has interacted — acknowledge the same and take an active part in conversations, make your audience feel seen and heard, and also a lot more excited to chat with you again in the near future.

Keep the conversations going for your engagements to be up and going!🎁🎉👑

All you have to do is, keep the work going and results will follow.
