There are two key elements in an authentic Instagram content strategy: Communication and Metrics.

First, communication—because it’s the only way to build genuine connections with people. You want to communicate and start real conversations, instead of just broadcasting content at people without expecting a response.

Every piece of content on Instagram gives you a moment to communicate. That means it’s not just entertaining, informative, or educational for your followers. It also encourages them to respond in some way. That response could take the form of comments, DMs, conversions, or even professional connections. Different pieces of content can be tailored for different kinds of responses, depending on your goals.

There are three very easy ways to get more responses to your posts:

1. Ask questions. Sounds obvious, right? But scroll through your Instagram feed and you’ll be surprised how few posts actually ask for a response. Ask your followers for their opinions, experiences, advice, or questions of their own.

2. Post in the right place. To maximize the response to your content, you need to show your posts to the right people. Use different content formats, styles, and hashtags to target different sections of your audience. For example, you might use reels to reach younger Instagram users.

3. Adopt a listening mindset. Be genuinely curious about what your audience thinks and feels. Encourage people to be honest with you and share any questions or curiosities they have about your content.
