Engagement is key when it comes to building a following on any social media platform, and it is not just a one-way street.<\/p>\n

Content creators need to be engaging with others just as much, if not more so than the amount of engagement they are hoping to receive on their account.<\/p>\n

Everyone is trying to get the drop on how to keep their engagement levels high and keep their audience interested and absorbed in their content.<\/p>\n

The above score was generated by Phlanx<\/a>, a free tool that tracks your engagement levels.<\/p>\n

What is an Engagement Score?<\/h2>\n

An engagement score is a simple calculation that takes into account any form of interaction on your profile.<\/p>\n

Generally, it is worked out like this:<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t like to blow our own horn, but we have gotten some insane results for ourselves and our users, which means we have done all the hard work for you in terms of figuring it all out.<\/p>\n

We have made the mistakes and tried all the tricks in the book so you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

How to Increase Instagram Engagement<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s jump straight in.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our list of what we want you to focus on:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start conversations<\/li>\n
  2. Give people the juicy details<\/li>\n
  3. Experiment with content<\/li>\n
  4. Write longer captions<\/li>\n
  5. Schedule content<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you want to, you could stop reading here and just go away and get on with it, but if you want a bit more advice to help you get started then keep reading.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Start Conversations On Instagram<\/h2>\n

    We say this time and time again, Instagram is a SOCIAL platform, so you have to socialise and interact with people within the community.<\/p>\n

    If you think you can throw up a few posts your work is done, you are gravely mistaken, unless of course, you are a celebrity or someone making radically new content.<\/p>\n

    You should be conversing with people everywhere, in the comments section, via Instagram Stories, via DMs, email, even in your Instagram bio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Depending on how good your French is, you will see in the above post that the Instagrammer is doing a free give away, and to enter you simply follow 8 partner accounts and tag your friends.<\/p>\n

    This is quite a bold example of a follow to win prize, however, Instagrammers<\/a> very often collaborate in this way in order to boost each other’s following and engagement.<\/p>\n

    Here you can see this Instagrammer replying to comments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    People love to see creators popping up in the comments section of their own posts and the posts of others, regardless of the size of the account.<\/p>\n

    If you are a small to medium-sized account with say 5,000 to 10,000 followers, you are in a great position to build yourself up as a recognised figure<\/a> amongst the community.<\/p>\n

    Get to it, start replying to Instagram stories<\/a>, start asking questions via DM, just start ENGAGING with people, and you will be surprised how many engage back.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Give People Details and Be Honest<\/h2>\n

    In case you hadn\u2019t noticed, people have become increasingly interested in other people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

    And we\u2019re not just talking about the good bits, people want to see all the gory details that other people go through.<\/p>\n

    The embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions, the drunken mishaps, the temper tantrums, the aches and pains, everything that goes into ordinary everyday life.<\/p>\n
