Latest Instagram Algorithm Updates and Proven Growth Strategies for your Business EP311


Here’s how the Instagram Algorithm is working in 2021:

Before I get into this whole algorithm thing, no one outside from the powers at be inside Facebook know exactly how to “beat” the Instagram algorithm. It is a constantly moving target, just like Google’s algorithm, that all of us digital markers are trying to beat.

Thankfully there are some key things we do know…

  1. Instagram looks at the user’s past behavior on the app, does a sweep of the latest pieces of content on the app, and then evaluates each one to predict how appealing that piece of content will be to that user. The highest-ranking pieces will appear first.
  2. How does Instagram determine this “appeal factor?” It is something they call “ranking signals.” To keep it simple, it is based on the level of interaction that user had with the account owners + if the user typically likes/comments/saves/shares this type of content + the time-factor of the content + how often the user is on Instagram + the users average session time. (I know A LOT right?!)
  3. Creating content your audience loves to engage with is critical. You must be delivering consistent content that your audience craves. It will hurt you if you simply throw anything up there. Better to not post unless you have something engagement-worthy.

In this podcast episode, I will break down all of the latest Instagram tricks and strategies that will help you grow your audience, increase engagement, and most importantly get you cash and clients.

Ep 830 3 Things to Do This Month to Get More People Buying From Your Online Business | 30-Day Online Sales Sprint: Part 1

You’re creating content, talking about your offers, showing up online, and doing what you’ve been told will grow your business—but the sales still aren’t matching the amount of effort you’re putting in.

So what do you actually need to focus on if you want to get more customers and increase online sales without adding even more to your plate?
That’s what we’re tackling in Part 1 of my 30-Day Online Sales Sprint.

Instead of giving you another giant list of marketing strategies to try, I’m narrowing it down to three things to focus on for the next 30 days. Because when sales slow down, one of the biggest mistakes online business owners make is assuming they need to do MORE: more content, more platforms, more offers, more posting.

Before you add anything, you need to understand where the actual breakdown is happening between someone discovering your business and eventually paying you.
