You\u2019re Too Choosy<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Youre_Using_Bot_Followers\"><\/span>1. You&#8217;re Using Bot Followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many social media marketers and users believe that having a large follower base is the best way to attract new followers, and they use bot followers to look authentic. While this is true in many ways, it goes against Instagram&#8217;s algorithm guidelines. Here&#8217;s an example of how bot followers can harm your Reels reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when you post something on Instagram, the algorithm sends this content to your 10% followers. After analyzing 10% of your followers&#8217; interactions, such as shareability, likes, comments, and saves, the Instagram algorithm will decide on the basis of engagement to show more users on the Explore page and their feed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, when an Instagram account has more than 30% bot followers their reels reach become narrow. Because bots can\u2019t interact they are just like a dead army.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of relying on bots, it\u2019s better to focus on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getafollower.com\/buy-instagram-followers.php\">getting real Instagram followers<\/a><\/strong> who can actually engage with your content and improve overall reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So keep this in mind, do not use bot followers in the first 3 months of account creation. After that you can use it but the limit shouldn&#8217;t be more than 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Youre_Copying_Others_Content\"><\/span>2. You&#8217;re Copying Others Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever watched a movie for the second time and felt as excited and surprised as the first time? Most likely not. In a similar way, think about Instagram Reels &#8211; why would people like and share content they&#8217;ve already seen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I already mentioned, the virality and views depend on Like, Share, Comments and Saves. There is a deep meaning and psychology behind these four engagement interactions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Like &#8211;&nbsp; Relating with content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comment&nbsp; &#8211; Sharing their point of view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share &#8211; Sharing emotions with friends &amp; family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save &#8211;&nbsp; Marking as important for the future.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Copying others is the second reason why people may not engage with your content. Therefore, it&#8217;s important to avoid duplicating others&#8217; work and instead focus on creating something original. This may require doing research and trying new approaches, but it will ultimately be more rewarding and engaging for your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide motivation, I am sharing a quote for Instagram content creators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cDon&#8217;t follow trends, create trends and let them follow\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Tarun Pal<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Youre_Publishing_on_Wrong_Time\"><\/span>3. You&#8217;re Publishing on Wrong Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible that you are publishing reels at the wrong time, and your audience has a different routine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, we publish corporate reels on our Waffle Bytes Instagram account, and since most of our followers are working people, it&#8217;s highly likely that they don&#8217;t use social media while in the office. Therefore, in my opinion, the best time to publish reels for these types of followers would be in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two ways to know your audience. The first is to think about the kind of content you are posting, and the second is to check Instagram Insights. Here, you can get data about the period of time when your followers are using Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Youre_Using_Too_Much_Banned_Hashtags\"><\/span>4. You&#8217;re Using Too Much &amp; Banned Hashtags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using too many hashtags is a mistake that most of us make every time we publish content on Instagram. We simply Google &#8216;Instagram hashtags&#8217; and copy and paste them without ensuring their quality and quantity, which can create issues. Both quality and quantity matter to get reach and engagement. Here is an explanation of both:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Quantity<\/span><\/strong>: According to Instagram, the maximum limit of hashtags that can be used is 30. If you use more than 30 hashtags, it would be against Instagram guidelines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Quality<\/span><\/strong>: When we copy and paste hashtags from somewhere, there are high chances that we might get spammy and banned hashtags which can negatively affect our reach and engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Always keep in mind the quality and quantity of hashtags while posting on Instagram. In my experience and opinion, I am not against Instagram hashtags, but I prefer to use only 2-3 relevant hashtags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Youre_Posting_Low_Quality_Reels\"><\/span>5. You&#8217;re Posting Low Quality Reels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe it or not, the quality of reels videos matters for engagement and virality. Currently, I don&#8217;t have any proof to support this statement, but I have personal experience. When we started <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudcampaign.com\/blog\/instagram-collaborator-posting-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">making reels on Instagram<\/a>, we were using phones like OnePlus 6, Realme, and Oppo to shoot videos, but we got no likes or comments. Then, we changed our camera to iPhone 13, and we observed that the quality of the reels matters. Now, we are using iPhone 14 Max Pro, and you can see our latest viral reels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CouWbHXBlB6\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\"background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)\"><div style=\"padding:16px\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CouWbHXBlB6\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\"background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <div style=\"flex-direction: row;align-items: center\"> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px\"><\/div> <div style=\"flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center\"> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px\"><\/div> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div style=\"padding: 19% 0\"><\/div> <div style=\"height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px\"><\/div><div style=\"padding-top: 8px\"> <div style=\"color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px\">View this post on Instagram<\/div><\/div><div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0\"><\/div> <div style=\"flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center\"><div> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px\"><\/div> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px\"><\/div> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px\"><\/div><\/div><div style=\"margin-left: 8px\"> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px\"><\/div> <div style=\"width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent\"><\/div><\/div><div style=\"margin-left: auto\"> <div style=\"width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent\"><\/div> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px\"><\/div> <div style=\"width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent\"><\/div><\/div><\/div> <div style=\"flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px\"> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px\"><\/div> <div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px\"><\/div><\/div><\/a><p style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CouWbHXBlB6\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Welcome to Waffle Bytes!
