Stay consistent and use every new feature aggressively because Instagram pushes the people who use their newly introduced feature as they did for the reels.

IG reels is really the only way. Consistency is also key.
We've been able to get some decent growth in terms of followers and organic views just by posting on IG Reels. If you haven't already, maybe spend some time on IG reels looking at competitors and see what kind of content works for your niche. The first 3 seconds or the "scroll stopper" is the most important part.
Once you have an idea of what kind of content works for that medium, it's all about consistency. I think the current sweet spot is between 1-3 posts per day. We've been posting one video per day for the last couple of months and we've reached around 1.5M impressions in the last 30 days.

@nicomuoio ohh thats good number. My impression of last 30 days is 8k which is less as compare to May-June month. I also heard that reel is a very good option and i think hashtags too.
Apart of work i do some video creation too and to promote that videos i tried instagram. When i am applying same video on story with link, count of non-follower views on story is very less but insights of Post and Reel shows large number of non-followers data.

@nicomuoio Apart from post frequency, does post time also matters? I think on YouTube it matters.
@neha_dadhich This is still something that i am trying to work out. I think a general rule of thumb is to post between 10am - 1pm but it really depends on the data.
Once you start to see some traction on the account you will be able to make better calls as to when to post based on when your followers are most active. You can see day and time analytics in the "professional dashboard" on IG.

Nice question. It was in my mind too. I am here for checking the answers so it can help me too. Thanks.
Post Reels & Carousels which actually provide any value to the audience and they will definitely follow your account. Other than these comments are a good way to build real connections.
This is an awesome question. I wonder about the hashtag use. Does anyone use any website/app to find the best hashtags? I've used hashtags.com but I'm wondering if there are others?
Communicating, commenting etc on likeminded people profile helped quite a bit for me. Got to over 4K, but at some point either the algorithm changed or I was shadow banned and since two years or so ago, despite the followers, I get around 20 likes for a picture. Before it was 400-700 per pic. Go figure. Kind of gave up on instagram after that. ( https://www.instagram.com/madara... )
