Break up the text with paragraphs and emojis for readability.Don't forget to include a compelling call-to-action (CTA) at the end of your caption, guiding readers on their next steps.

  • My Instagram got suspended
    Jul 7 2023
    I woke up this morning to a message on Instagram that my account has been suspended due to some violations to community guidelines. Since I was on a vacation for almost a week, with preparations and getting everything ready, I haven't posted any content (other than stories) for over a week now. So, I'm sharing my experience with you, in hopes of helping you prevent something like that happening on your account. This is a completely unedited episode, I just sat down and started recording. I will keep you updated as soon as something happens. Hopefully, I will get my account back, so keep your fingers crossed. Like I mentioned, I have two links for help. So, maybe they will be of use for you. Link 1 for people whose accounts have been disabled due to repeat intellectual property violations or for sharing fraudulent or misleading content. Link 2 for not following Instagram's Community Guidelines. I set up a new Instagram account, so I would really appreciate it if you followed me there and shared it with people you think might enjoy my content. Thank you for being here, and I will update you as soon as I have news! Have a great weekend.

  • Post: Engagement pods could be your doom
    Jun 2 2023
    In today's episode, I want to delve into the world of engagement pods on Instagram. We've briefly discussed them before, but now it's time to dedicate an entire episode to this topic. So, what exactly are engagement pods? They are groups of individuals, either on or off Instagram, who collaborate to boost each other's engagement by liking, commenting, saving, and sharing each other's content. These groups typically consist of people with similar interests and niches, but some larger pods accept participants from various fields. Engagement pods come with certain rules and guidelines. Admins or moderators oversee these groups, and they often require members to follow specific protocols to maintain participation. For instance, you may need to engage with a certain number of posts before sharing your own content. However, it's important to understand that engagement pods have their limitations and drawbacks. Firstly, the engagement you receive from these pods is not organic. While your metrics may temporarily increase, once you stop using them, your engagement will likely plummet. Additionally, using engagement pods can risk your account being flagged by Instagram's algorithm, as sudden spikes in engagement can appear suspicious. Additionally, these pods rarely result in gaining new followers, which can raise skepticism among your existing audience. Joining engagement pods can be a significant time investment, with hours spent engaging with people who aren't genuinely interested in your content. The comments you receive through these pods are often generic and lack value, which discerning Instagram users can easily identify. So, instead of relying on engagement pods, I recommend focusing on building connections through genuine engagement. Network with individuals in your industry, both followers and leaders, and engage with them in a meaningful way. If your engagement is low, consider joining my engagement challenge, where you'll receive valuable tips and tricks to boost your engagement rate. Engaging organically is the key to long-term success on Instagram. Lastly, I want to share some exciting news about my revamped services. I now offer InstaRevamp, where I conduct a comprehensive audit of your profile and provide actionable tips. If you're struggling with hashtags, the Hashtag Whisperer service helps you find the perfect set for your profile.
