The Steps
  • 1
    Stop posting more than once per day — the algorithm punishes spam.
  • 2
    Kill carousel posts longer than 5 slides. Drop-off is brutal.
  • 3
    Add captions to every Reel — silent viewers don't convert.
  • 4
    Move trending audio to the first 1.5 seconds, not the hook.
  • 5
    Post when YOUR audience is online, not when 'experts' say.
  • 6
    Reply to comments within 60 minutes for the first 2 hours.
