30 Day Instagram Challenge
Would you like to join a free 30 Day Instagram Challenge? This week Instagram announced that finally, auto-scheduling and auto-posting from third-party vendors is allowed!
I am going to show you how to enable this feature on your account, and share some strategies on how to rock your Instagram like a pro.
Instagram Now Allows Auto-Scheduling & Auto-Posting!
What Does This Auto-Posting Instagram Announcement Mean?
What this means is that now you can schedule your Instagram posts in Tailwind, and they will just post them for you, without needing to send a notification to you to post it yourself, as was the issue before now.

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.
30 Day Instagram Challenge
To celebrate the Instagram auto-scheduling announcement, I am doing a 30 Day Instagram challenge and I would love it if you’d join me!
I have created this 30 Day Instagram Challenge as a way to boost my engagement, discover new accounts to follow, and hopefully reach some new followers at the same time.
We all want to grow our Instagram accounts and beat the dreaded Instagram algorithm, and this 30 Day Instagram Challenge specifically addresses this!
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.
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
This 30 Day Instagram Challenge Aims To Boost You In The IG Algorithm
Here’s the deal:
Instagram Challenge
Pst 1-2 photos to Instagram EVERY DAY for 30 days.
First off, that is going to be a challenge in itself because that is a lot of space to fill up with content. You will really have to plan ahead.
Use Tailwind to plan your feed, plan your captions, hashtags and schedule the images to be auto-posted each day.
You can even pre-plan the layout of your Instagram page with Tailwind by using the 9 Grid Feed feature.
This way you can make sure that your images are visually pleasing and will look good together, before they go live.
