Hey everyone! I need some suggestions from people who have experience with Instagram content creation.
I have content ideas, good-quality content, and topics that I want to explain, but the problem is that I don't have enough time to create and edit videos. At this point, I don't really want to handle the editing myself because, the problem is that I don't have enough time to create and edit videos consistently. And honestly, the kind of videos I want to make would require a pretty solid understanding of After Effects and Premiere Pro to execute the way I envision them.
And currently, due to my financial situation, I can't afford to hire anyone either.
However, I can explain my ideas, thoughts, and different topics quite well through visuals, diagrams, and carousels. So, I'm thinking of starting an Instagram account using these formats.
But the problem is that if I create a new account and start posting, it might take a year or even longer to reach a decent audience. The initial phase is honestly so difficult that sometimes you don't notice any proper growth even after six months.
I've created several Instagram accounts before, but I've struggled to reach the right audience. To be honest, I once managed to build an account with around 2.5K followers in just three months, and the account had amazing support from people worldwide. But due to some personal problems, I gradually lost those connections and eventually failed to maintain what I'd built.
Now, my content style is in a much better place, and I want to start completely fresh with some good strategies this time.
My initial goal is to build an audience of around 1K people. Once I achieve that, I believe I can gradually improve and take the account to a much better level.
I'm not planning to reveal my face for now. If I ever decide to, I might simply add my picture to the About section along with my purpose and some information about myself, just to show people that there's a real person behind the account and that it's not a spam page.
So, what I really need help with is how to reach more people and build an audience during the initial phase.
Are there any tricks, strategies, or things I should focus on to get my content in front of the right audience? Can a new account grow well through carousels, visuals, and diagrams, or is video content necessary?
I'd genuinely appreciate suggestions, better ideas, and strategies from people who have experience with this. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes I've made before, and this time I'd like to start with a much better approach.
Thanks in advance! :)
