Grow Insta Through Stories !🖐

7 Ways Of Growing Your Page Through Stories 📖

Instagram stories are still one of the most underrated tools on Instagram.

One should give the most they can from Instagram stories and take the most as well.

Primarily, it's fundamental to understand the importance of Instagram stories and their effective performance:

1- Through Instagram stories, you can keep you audience updated about any significant changes that your page goes through, or provide your audience with more personalized information, on a more personal and practical level. ℹ️

2- Through Instagram stories, you can ask your audience what type of content they enjoy from your page the most, specifically by adding tools such as polls or by asking questions. This is also useful for you because it helps you to connect more with your audience and to connect better with it, as you will know what type of content they react better to and resonate with the most. 🤩

3- Through Instagram stories, you can share content that doesn’t saturate / interfere with your regular posting patterns or that isn’t as much as a highlight as the content you put out there in the form of a post. A good example is if you are a content creator running a personal page, you may prefer posting more day-in-the-life content as Instagram stories and showcase highlights in the form of a feed post. ⚖️

4- Through the publication of Instagram stories, your page gains a colorful circle around its logo, which implies that your page is active, making it much more attractive to new visitors, enhancing the follower-gain potential. 👀

5- Through Instagram stories, you can advertise your products or services without putting them in a spotlight, meaning that you don’t have to ruin your feed with a salesy post. Not that selling is a bad thing, but your followers may not appreciate it if it comes across as salesy, depending on how well you perform it. 💰

6- By using the swipe-up feature, you can display Instagram stories with a call to action for people to be redirected to another page or website. 📲

7- You can use Instagram stories as a way of resonating better with your audience on festivities, such as Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s day, etc. and promote its growth and sense of community by running a holiday-related giveaway in your page. 🐰🦃🎄

BONUS TIP 1: Use IGTV for long-duration video posts. It’s important to remember that using all of Instagram’s features is fundamental for your page’s health score and overall performance.

Instagram still benefits pages that use IGTV and its organic reach is much more optimized than a normal post / story.

Also, this is the tool that’s most adequate for showcasing this type of content.

BONUS TIP 2: If you run a reposting page, always tag the author of your story. Not only is this ethically correct, but you’ll also have a chance of getting a response from them, which improves your engagement and contributes to a better health score in the eyes of the Instagram algorithm.

Remember – use Instagram’s features, even if they’re circumstantial, such as this one, in your favor. It will allow your content to reach out to a wider audience.

Secondly, here's a succinct overview on how to maximize your results from Instagram stories:

1- Use Location Tags;

2- Tag other pages in your stories;

3- Ask Questions to your audience;

4- Allow your audience to ask you questions, by using the "ask me a question" feature;

5- Use Yes | No Polls and Quizzes;

6- Add CTA's to incite extra engagement in your stories;

7- Vary between pictures and videos.

By using these features, you’ll show your audience that you care about them and that you count them in, in the sense that you leave space for them to engage with your stories.

This will ultimately improve your engagement levels and build a solid relationship with your audience, as the sense of community around your page enhances.
