Should We Boost Post Or Not?

PLUS: Crazy 5:1 rule for engagement

Hey Instagrammer!

This is Sorav from India's leading digital marketing institute, Digital Scholar🎓.

I am on a mission to help you reach your first or next 100k followers with the help of my Instagram Growth Masterclass.

It’s happening on 29th April at 7 PM IST.

💡Insider Tips:

While promoted/boosted posts on Instagram may seem like an easy way to gain more reach, they have limitations that make organic growth through meta-ads a more effective strategy.

Boost Post distribution does not target the right audience as precisely as ads can. Meta ads allow targeting people based on demographics, interests, and behaviors to find an engaged audience most likely to care about your brand.

By focusing on relevance over the volume of impressions, ads convert more new followers into customers.

For sustainable growth, the professional approach is using Meta's targeting tools to connect with qualified leads rather than broadly promoting to existing fans.

This organic strategy builds true loyalty over time at a lower cost per acquisition. While boosting posts has its place, ads generally provide a more targeted and cost-effective alternative.

1) Latest Instagram Update

Instagram's latest feature update includes a subtle yet impactful change to help provide users with a more secure experience.

The button to confirm identity verification processes has been adjusted to a soothing purple hue.

This calming colour choice is a thoughtful design decision that further reinforces Instagram's commitment to user security and privacy.

The purple tone is meant to create a calm and reassuring state of mind when going through identification steps.

5) Growth Hack of the Day!

One best practice that has stood the test of time is following the 5:1 engagement ratio, or what's commonly referred to as the "5:1 rule."

With a bit of creative planning, the 5:1 ratio shouldn't be difficult to maintain. Some tactics to consider include asking thoughtful questions, providing value-added resources, and responding promptly to any comments on your posts to continue generating engagement for your reels.

You can also boost engagement through contests or polls where followers are incentivised to interact. To know more about this rule, check out the REEL
