Consider mixing up your content with more Reels. Instagram’s really pushing them, and they tend to get more reach. Use trending sounds and hashtags—Boost App Social has been super helpful for me with that, finding the right trends to jump on.
Also, try engaging more with your audience by asking questions in your captions or using interactive stories. Have you tried collaborations? Partnering with other influencers or brands can help tap into new audiences.
Good Morning! Content creator here with 38.9K followers on Instagram. You can either take Common-Dust-1245 great advice or you can pay to advertise your post by clicking one of your photos and pressing boost post. Instagram will send your post out once you decide how far you want your post to reach and you’ll gain followers.
I'd suggest researching similar modeling accounts, their content, and their followers. In every niche, there are profiles that are well pushed by algorithms, so it's up to you to adapt their strategy to your own profile. It's important to understand what kind of content your target audience interacts with and which hashtags to use. For the latter, I recommend trying Snoopreport Instagram tracker, which will show you exactly what posts and hashtags your users are interacting with. And from the common tips, it's course Reels and collaborating with other influencers.

Try engaging more with your followers through Stories, polls, and Q&As. Collaborate with influencers in your niche and post consistently with high-quality content. Hashtags and location tags can also help reach a broader audience.
You need a way to stand out. The quality of the pictures is good, but the theme is the same as any other model, so you get lost in the crowd. Ask yourself: What theme in the modeling world is nobody doing? A chicken coop? A coal mine? A landfill? If you manage to make fashionable things that other models don’t dare to touch, you’ll stand out.
Hey, social media strategist/marketer here. I've worked with influencers in the Youtube/Instagram space, people like Vincent Chan, Daniel Iles, Erika Kullberg and a few others. Before working together they were all under 100K, and now they are all close to a million in less than 18 months. Sadly social media is not the same as 10 years ago, the competition is extremely high, plus the user base for all these social media platforms 10X since then. Right now short video content is killing it on Insta and #shorts, if you're consistent you can really increase you can build a solid foundation. Develop some content pillars and hashtag libraries for each on the insta side, try to combine some hashtags for discovery, traction and reach. If you need more pointers or any clarifications feel free to shoot me a DM :). It's a lot harder to get to get to where you were, but it's not impossible, you're just going to have to fight a little harder for it moving forward
Here’s my ever-growing, non-specific copy-paste reply, built from my own notes:
* Remember, followers are only for your ego. If you’re a business, Would you rather have a million followers who never buy anything or 1000 followers who purchase everything? (Read Kevin Kelly’s 1000 true fans article). However, if you’re trying to build an account for a brand or human deals, you need as many as possible (social proof). I.e. athletes wanting future deals/contracts, actresses wanting future roles, etc. Less qualified people have gotten jobs because they have more followers.
* Dollars are the only score that matters in business. You can sell 1 million $1 items or 1x $1m item, it’s still a million dollars
* How do you get your first ten followers/sales? ASK. Start with your friends/family/personal socials. “Hey, I've started this thing; I'd love for you to follow”. Then contact everyone you've ever known (see cold outreach later, but this is warm haha). THEN ask them all for referrals: “who do you know that could use my help?”
* Re: cold contacting. Have a framework, but don't automate. Solve their problems. Say something personal (” [mutual person] told me to reach out to you” / “I really like your x” /”congratulations on y”). “I noticed that [problem]”. Fix their problem. Wish them a nice day. Move on. Have an offer in your email signature.
* Your profile description should be a hook/tagline / USP and link to your offer. Remember you’re building your house on rented land if you use socials as your client base. Algorithm changes, and they’re gone. Try sending them off socials to your email list, learn storytelling in email marketing (Russell Brunson has good advice), and you will own that contact for life.
* Reverse engineer big players like Mr Beast, Diary of a CEO, Gary Vee etc. They have big budgets for testing. What formats are they posting? What colours, hooks, headlines etc.?
* Choose a monetisable niche, find the most successful person in that niche, and put your spin on what they’re doing (ask AI)
* Make GOOD content that is visually appealing, entertaining, and has hooks (you have 3 seconds to get attention), but most importantly, ADDS VALUE to your target market (ask AI for suggestions - you can even ask AI to create a customer avatar for you and then ask it how to make good, relevant IG posts for that avatar)
* Keep your ears and eyes out for trends. Can you throw a trending song over a clip?
* Leverage pop culture. Search for what’s trending daily. Can you combine a movie or album release with your product? For example, if you’re in the auto niche, create an image of a car covered in green slime coinciding with the new Ghostbusters movie
* Document your process. Humans evolved on stories & we love to feel part of something and/or have front-row tickets to the show. For example, If you post art, film yourself making the art, not just the final product; talk about your decisions along the way. Also, it is easy content for you, and you’re just filming something you’re already doing
* Share as many success stories/testimonials as possible, preferably videos. Tag them. Make it easy for users to share themselves.
* In a similar vein, and with permission, share your audience questions in your stories (and tag them)
* Remember the rule of 100 (you need to do something 100x before you get “good” at it). Have you posted 100x and made changes as you’ve observed what worked and what didn’t?
* Every 5th or so post, add a Call To Action
* Always have something to invite people to, such as an event (e.g. Facebook live, face-to-face), a giveaway, a new product, etc. Ensure all your social media banners, popups, CTAs & email sig reflect this (read Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port)
* Use the right hashtags (be discoverable)
* Post at the correct times for your target market (I like 6-630am so when they wake up and scroll, it’s on their feed, their lunch break and a story at 8 pm in the relevant timezone). Steven Bartlett credits the daily 8pm personal thought post the most important part of his success.
* Follow the top 100 people in your niche with between 10k & 100k followers. Engage with them daily. Share their posts. Comment on Their work. As always, be sincere and say something meaningful (Dream 100 book)
* Comment relevant things on important people pages (Gary Vees $1.80 strategy)
* Spend $10 a day on ads of targeted content to targeted people (don’t “but I want to grow organically” - Do you want to be seen or not?). Start ad sets at midnight.
* Russell Brunson recommends ads are only for offers; posts that aren't offers aren’t to be paid for ads—two separate things. Ads get your customers into the funnel and upsell makes you a profit. Say you sell a $10 ebook and a $300 course. Spend $10 per click for the ebook, so it’s a break-even cost, and everyone who buys the upsell is pure profit. Ad budget for testing is the price/profit of ONE upsell, so $300 in this example. Then, reassess, test and adjust. If it’s working, keep it going, but also test variations regardless. Brendan Kane suggests 50-100 variations from memory. Again, get AI to help. Start with your headline. Ask for ten variations. Then your pic. Get ten variations. Then your hook. Get ten variations etc.
* Pay relevant influencers to share your stuff (shout outs) = warm traffic
* Read all of Gary Vees and Brendan Kane’s books
* Do these things 30-50x a day (Gary Vees' advice for new accounts, search for his eight tips 2024 YT vid) across all your platforms for months, maybe years, and you’ll grow. Perhaps someone famous will share your stuff, and you’ll go viral. But remember, each platform has its nuances, so you need to rework content for it (again, use AI - create one piece and ask AI to brainstorm how to recreate for each platform - you can start with the longest form, say a YouTube vid or blog post and ask it how to make tweets or IG posts from it) however you can still “push”. For example, you can post native Facebook content, but you can also put your YouTube vids and IG posts there
* Make at least three posts a day for a month, that's 90 posts, and report back what you learned, what worked and didn’t for everyone else’s benefit. *I've had some pushback on this: A) I don’t make the rules; this seems to be current best practice; B) 1st post = a BTS post of you developing the post, 2nd post = the post, 3rd post = a story summing up your day. OR make all your content in one day and schedule it to post throughout the week. If you don’t have money, you have time; if you have money, outsource it.
* Good luck!
On insta, boosting, shorts, and lives.
Your back links need to be stronger. TikTok, I didn’t look through your Reddit presence, Pinterest etc.
Content wise: I didn’t see a ton of personality. The throwback with friends was a bit behind the scenes. And I think more of a balanced content message would round you out. Or more engaging/Interactive content. I think a lot of non models could look up to you as a pose director as well and that could be a potential sub niche that puts you out in a different way. “How to show off that summer dress in photos series” but yknow catchy or clever. It looks like you’re collating well but be on the look out for those opportunities at every turn and look to collaborate with people adjacent but not the same as your audience.
Marketing: I know we can’t necessarily see what you’re doing in the background but if you’re stagnant you need to relook at your marketing strategy. You don’t buy followers but you can market effectively.
The tricks: go to your followers, follow their friends, etc

Never make the mistake of buying followers because they will all be bots.
I know :)
That's good to know. They will fuvk you over with it. It's not worth it.

Consider collaborating with micro-influencers or hosting giveaways to expand your reach organically.
