I’ve been trying to grow on Threads for the past six months, and I got pretty close to my goal. Then a video I made for LinkedIn went semi-viral on Instagram, and I realized I hadn’t been taking advantage of the fluency I already have there as I’ve been on Instagram almost every day for the past 10 years. So I’m pivoting my growth journey to Instagram, with the goal of going from 2,300 to 5,000 followers by the end of Q2. I could have made this up as I went, but instead I decided to take cues from the Instagram experts on the Buffer team. → Post 3–5 times a week, which grows followers 2x faster. → Use Reels for reach and carousels for engagement. → Reply to comments, which boosts engagement by 21%. → Experiment with trial reels.
