Use Epidemic Sound to soundtrack your content! share.epidemicsound.com/katieMAR24 🎧 There are so many theories out there about how to grow on Instagram - and many of them are not true. Whether it’s about hashtags, trending Reel audios, or whether you can “beat” the algorithm - there’s a lot of debate about how all of this works. Recently, I got to have a 1:1 call with a media expert from Meta - and you know me, I filmed the whole thing. So today I’m sharing what I learned, directly from Meta, about the current growth strategies for Instagram.
