A few years ago, Instagram (IG) was only used as a media-sharing app wherein people worldwide could post photos, videos, and other content they\u2019d like to share. Now, Instagram is also heavily used by influencers, celebrities, and businesses, as one of their digital marketing strategies. With millions to a billion active monthly users, Instagram can be a perfect platform to gain more visibility, widen your reach, and boost your sales.<\/p>\n

But with Instagram\u2019s massive popularity and constant changes in its algorithm, it has become more challenging to widen your reach and deliver your brand\u2019s content to your intended audience. Furthermore, some of your industry competitors are also using Instagram, so you\u2019ll need to find ways to stay unique and keep your audience engaged.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are a few strategies you can use to help improve your Instagram reach, gain more followers, and turn them into sales. Navigating through the dynamic changes of Instagram\u2019s algorithm may require time and work, but with the proper techniques, you\u2019ll be off to a good start.<\/p>\n

To start, here are five practical ways you can widen your Instagram reach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Post Content During Peak Times <\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that posting regularly is necessary to keep your followers engaged and widen your reach. However, your efforts may be wasted if you\u2019re posting at the wrong time when your followers or target audience are away. In doing so, you\u2019ll only have fewer people to engage with your posts, eventually affecting your ranking on your followers\u2019 newsfeed. Remember, the Instagram algorithm will always prioritize timeliness and relevancy for their users\u2019 newsfeeds.<\/p>\n

So, to boost your reach, ensure you\u2019re posting content during peak times. However, don’t limit yourself to a specific peak time, as your followers may be most active at different times throughout the day. So, check out your Instagram account\u2019s audience section and determine the days and hours when your audience is most active. Meanwhile, if most of your followers have private accounts, you may use a private Instagram account viewer app<\/a> to retrieve data reports about their activity.<\/p>\n

For instance, if the data says your followers are most active on Friday at 8:00 pm, Saturday at noon, and Monday at 8:00 am, this probably means you have different followers active during those times. Posting content during those peak times can ensure that your content will reach your audience at the exact time they\u2019re using Instagram, thereby increasing your reach.<\/p>\n

Use Newer And Relevant Hashtags <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Like Instagram\u2019s algorithm, some hashtags will also come and go, which means not all hashtags are intended to be evergreen. So, now and then, research and find some newer and relevant hashtags for your content. This way, you\u2019ll be able to keep your posts ranked in front of your target audience and expand your reach. It\u2019s also preferable to check the hashtags your competitors could be using. You may look at private Instagram accounts<\/a> using a private IG viewer app if they\u2019re private. Chances are, your competitors are using private accounts as one of their tactics to gain more followers.<\/p>\n

You can blend trendy hashtags with generic hashtags and industry-specific hashtags when using hashtags on your postings. Just be careful not to go overboard, such as using more than 30 hashtags in a single post, as this can hurt your trustworthiness and rating. The best number of hashtags to utilize is approximately 8 to 10 hashtags. Finally, adopting more recent and relevant hashtags can allow you to reach a broader audience and increase engagement.<\/p>\n

Post Engaging Content <\/strong><\/h2>\n

You may be posting content during peak times or using high-quality hashtags. But are your posts engaging enough to entice your audience to interact with you? Posting engaging and interactive content will improve your IG engagement rate and urge your followers to share your post with their friends, widening your reach.<\/p>\n

Why not focus on engaging content<\/a> instead of continually posting about the products\/services you’re selling? You may, for example, share hilarious and relatable memes about your business or sector. You might also include interesting statistics, how-to tutorials, or open-ended questions in your post. Interactive postings can help you obtain a lot of involvement and feedback from your audience, which will help you stay on top of things and expand your reach.<\/p>\n

Host Giveaways <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another fun way to widen your reach on Instagram is by hosting giveaways. After all, who doesn\u2019t love receiving free stuff? Giveaway contests are a surefire way to motivate your followers to interact with your post and even encourage them to mention your brand and share it with their friends.<\/p>\n

A giveaway content should include some call-to-action requirements such as:<\/p>\n
