Are you struggling to get views and engagement on Instagram? This one strategy can boost your engagement by ten times, and it’s easier than you might think. We tested this with a client, and their comments went from 20-30 per post to over 6,000! Here’s how you can do it too.
The Secret: Ask for Engagement
The key is to ask for engagement and give people a strong reason to participate. This strategy worked back in 2016 and is even more effective now. Instead of just asking people to like or tag a friend, you need to offer something valuable.
10x Your Engagement: Step-by-Step Guide
1. Know Your Audience
Understand who your followers are and what they need. Tailoring your content to their interests and desires is crucial for maximizing engagement.
2. Create a Valuable Giveaway
Offer something your audience will find useful, like a guide, PDF, template, video, discount code, or free product. For example, if you’re a fitness coach, you could offer a guide on daily exercises to avoid back pain.
3. Make Relevant Content
Create posts related to your giveaway. For instance, if you’re offering a guide on growing Instagram followers, your content could include tips and tricks for social media growth.
4. Call to Action (CTA)
Ask your audience to comment a specific word to receive the giveaway. For example, “Comment ‘Instagram’ and I’ll send you my free course on growing your Instagram followers.”
5. Content Formats
Use various formats like images, carousels, reels, or stories. It doesn’t matter which format you use as long as it’s engaging.
6. Automate Responses
Use a tool like ManyChat to automate the process of sending the giveaway. When someone comments the keyword, ManyChat can automatically send them the link.
Setting Up Automation
1. Create a ManyChat Account
Sign up for a free account.
2. Set Up Automation
In ManyChat, go to the automation section and select “Convert Instagram comments into sales.” You can use this to collect leads, drive traffic to your website, or increase sales.
3. Choose Keywords
Select the keywords people need to comment. For example, if you’re offering an Instagram growth course, the keyword could be “IGgrowth.”
4. Set Responses
Create multiple responses for variety, like “Check your DM for the link!” or “Thanks for commenting, the link is in your inbox!”
5. Send the Link
Decide whether to include the link as a button (which allows tracking) or directly in the DM (which looks more natural).
6. Go Live
Activate the automation so it starts working immediately when people comment.
