Content is King, Consistency is Queen
Before sharing about how we have managed to get some success on Instagram, do note that the adage of content is king is true, however, you also need to take note of the consistency of your post.
We have seen many companies focusing on the best IG post but not posting frequently enough.
The reason is this: You will not have a viral post, every time you post. The only way to discover the content your community enjoys is to post frequently, then replicate the post that they engage in and avoid those that they do not.
Imagine posting only once a week, which means you will only have 4 posts per month, there is not a lot of data for you to track and compare to suss out a good post or to structure a good content strategy.
Coffee Instagram Posts that grew our account from 0 to 10 K followers
If you have read about accounts that grew from 0 to 10 K and wonder if it can be done with just content, the answer is Yes. We have done it. It did not happen overnight, it took us around 6 months and many trials and errors on the posts that our community likes.
So, here is a testimony on how the right posts can grow your IG account.
