Is Organic Instagram Growth Possible in 2023–2024? | by Moody | Sep, 2023

Tips and Advice From My Personal Growth Journey

Instagram used to be a great place for growing your presence organically. But things have changed since Meta, formerly known as Facebook, took over. Now, Instagram seems more focused on pushing ads and sponsored content. In this piece, I’ll talk about how Instagram has changed and discuss if it’s still possible to grow organically. I’ll also share some tips for succeeding in this new landscape, especially as we are at the end of 2023 and head into 2024.

Selecting the right niche is step one, but it’s got to be something you’re genuinely into. Don’t go for what’s popular if it doesn’t ignite your passion, because if you’re not feeling it, your audience won’t either. Your niche should align with your interests and expertise. When you’re genuinely passionate about a topic, it shines through in your content and resonates with your audience. Whether it’s fashion, technology, fitness, or any other area, your enthusiasm will be contagious.

We’re constantly bombarded with stories of overnight growth and viral sensations that seem to skyrocket to success in the blink of an eye

Now, here’s the tough part — patience. There’s no overnight success in social media growth, especially when you’re aiming for organic growth. You’ve got to put in the time and effort; there’s no way around it. It’s easy to get caught up in the appeal of immediate success, especially in today’s fast-paced world. We’re constantly bombarded with stories of overnight growth and viral sensations that seem to skyrocket to success in the blink of an eye. But the truth is, those stories are the exception, not the general rule.

In the world of organic growth, things move at a different pace. It’s a gradual process that requires determination and a long-term mindset. You need to be willing to put in the work, day in and day out, without expecting immediate results.

It took me six months of consistent daily posting and active engagement with Instagram users to progress from 0 to 5,000 followers.
