Simple Strategy – Boost Your Instagram Engagement Fast

If you’re struggling to get views and engagement on your Instagram posts, this strategy might be the solution you need. By using this method, one client went from getting 20-40 comments per post to over 6,000 comments, and another creator saw a significant increase in comments and website clicks. Here’s how you can achieve the same results.

The Strategy: Ask for Engagement

The key to increasing engagement is simple: ask for it and give people a strong reason to engage. This approach worked back in 2016 and is even more effective today. Instead of just saying, “Like this post if you agree” or “Tag a friend,” you need to step up your game.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Know Your Audience: Understand who your followers are and what they need.
2. Create a Valuable Giveaway: Offer something your audience will find useful, like a guide, a PDF, a template, a video, a discount code, or a 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 that relate 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): In your posts, 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 to your giveaway.

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.

Benefits

By following these steps, you can significantly increase your engagement, reach, and even sales. This strategy encourages multiple interactions from a single comment, boosting your overall engagement.
