30 Day Instagram Challenge
I have created a handy content planner and 30 Day Instagram challenge. I would love it if you’d join me!
Use the planner inside the 30 Day Instagram Challenge as a way to boost your engagement, discover new accounts to follow, and hopefully reach some new followers at the same time.

Beating The Instagram Algorithm
Instagram only shows your latest post to 15% of your followers. If your post does well with those followers in the first half hour, say, you get a lot of likes from them, then Instagram will show the post to a few more of your followers, and so on.
When you engage with other accounts, give likes, give comments, and reply to people who comment on your images, your ranking goes up, and so does your audience size.
Basically, Instagram wants to see that you are using the platform like a real person. Instagram rewards you by boosting you in the algorithm and showing your account to more people when you are active and engaging.
Checking in once in a while just to see how many likes you got and then leaving does nothing for your rank in the algorithm, in fact, it affects your rank negatively and sets you back.

Posting Tip: Schedule Your Content Ahead Of Time
Yes! Instagram Now Allows Auto-Scheduling & Auto-Posting!
Instagram allows you to use third-party tools to schedule your Instagram posts. You can use tools like Tailwind or Planoly for this.
This feature will save you a ton of time!
How To Auto-Schedule Your Instagram
To enable this feature to work, here’s what to do:
This feature is currently only available to business accounts. Log into your Instagram, click edit profile, and switch your account to a business account, if you aren’t already using one.
Then log into Tailwind and start uploading your images and filling out the captions. You can use the Tailwind Hashtag Finder to discover the best hashtags to include.
This can also help you avoid being shadowbanned by Instagram.
Next, schedule when you want the images to be posted to your Instagram account.
That’s it! No push notifications, no ‘time to post’ reminders. Your Instagram account is now automated, just like your other social accounts are with Smarterqueue.
Getting Started – Grow Your Instagram Challenge
The trick to growing your Instagram account and ranking high in the algorithm comes down to three things.
- Consistency – You need to keep your account active by posting new content every day.
- Engagement – You need to engage with other accounts, such as giving likes and comments and responding to everyone who engages with you.
- Aesthetics – Instagram is a visual platform, and the most important thing about the content you post is that it must be visually pleasing to look at.
Because consistency is the #1 thing, I’ve made it easier by outlining what to post each day, so you don’t have to guess.
