If I Was Starting an Instagram Account in 2021 // Things I wish I'd known (Week 6)
In today's Mindset Monday video I want to share some things I wish I'd known when I was starting out on Instagram, so that you can avoid some of my mistakes I did and and instead focus on the things it takes to build a successful Instagram account in 2021.
Growing a following on Instagram is no simple task, but hopefully the tips and experiences I share in this video will help you see what really matters in the end to be able to grow a community and use Instagram to find your audience.
Finding your niche is important, but in the beginning I think it's actually better to try out and expreiment, because that's the best time to do it, and I'll tell you why in the video...
I spent so much time worrying about the numbers and comparing myself to bigger accounts when I was starting out on Instagram, even though, in the end, it's really not the numbers that will determine how successful you are.
I wish I'd spent that time and energy on creating and focusing on developing my skills instead, because those are the things that will set you apart form the competition in the end.
Right now Instagram Reels is the hot stuff so spending time and effort on creating those are a good idea, as the Instagram Algrithm seems to be favoring that content. But I wouldn't get too caught up in following the trends too much as I've learned that the thing that is most important online is to do things in your own distinctive style.
I hope you find these tips helpful!
Thank you so much for watching! :)
Xx Kika

Ahww this is such a good video coming in the right time. I'm really struggling with instagram at the moment. I have a bookstagram and lately it feels like I 'must' post, 'must' make perfect aesthetics, the algorythm changed so much so the likes and follows went down a lot and I feel very demotivated. Maybe indeed it's better to find a style that shows more me, that make me happy, and not what I think that others want to see only :) I'm the creator, right? But I'm still struggling with nice filters/presets making for 4 years now. It's so so hard to get something you like.

Can I just say I love the editing of this particular video? Girl you're KILLING it! ♥ I personally wouldn't follow myself and I became aware of that last year as I put more effort into KZfaq. I realized I wasn't really giving anything of value, not even looks because I'd do a little bit of everything and people at first follow you because of 1 single thing. I'd speak about fashion, and books, and beauty and-- yeah, too much of everything. I ended up deciding on fashion but got caught up in thinking what was going to be my message exactly: on one side, I knew I wanted to show looks and my style, but on the other hand I'd also made a commitment to not buy more than 12 new clothes every year (sustainability and well, to basically get over my hoarding craziness) so going crazy on trying to convince people to acquire more things wasn't my thing. I gave it a lot of thought ever since the new year, and I came across the idea of "Creating outfits from an already big wardrobe", which is now on my bio. I basically want to share with people that you can make the most out of what you have by showing the same piece in different ways. I'm barely getting started in that sense, so I'm definitely at the quantity stage but with a lot of knowledge from my previous exploration phase ^^.

Thanks for this video! It's really helpful. I started an account as a photographer, but work as an accountant for a day job. There is SO much advice out there that you have to decide your niche from the beginning and I felt a lot of pressure to do this and it really hurt my brain haha I couldn't decide because I love to do so many different types of photography from fashion to portrait to street to couples. It wasn't until recently that I just gave myself permission to do what I wanted to do and experiment and naturally find my way there. I felt a relief almost. Sometimes all the advice out there on this stuff can really hinder people's growth even though it is meant to be helpful so thank you for saying to just experiment at the beginning and really naturally grow into a niche.

I honestly would have followed myself on Instagram before everyone kept turning to me and going, "Diana you have to have a theme. Diana what's your aesthetic?" Honestly when I tried to go this route I was the most depleted and thought too much about Instagram when in reality... it's not that serious. As you said, in the beginning you should kind of post everything and then see what works. I wish I just stuck to my guns instead of starting to doubt myself and self-rejecting. Instead, I started to share more of my real self through IG stories, and I felt fake asf on my posts so I barely ever posted anymore. When I look at Instagram accounts that legit post only about 1 thing. For example, their room, but in a million different angles, the editing style is all the same, it blends together so much I don't even know what I'm looking at. Those type of accounts I step super far away from, and just cleaned out anyone that I follow that puts themselves in such a tiny tiny tiny box. I like real. I like raw. I like depth. I like variety. I like to read long captions. I like to read people who talk about their struggles or their wins. I like to engage with real humans not boxes. And I missed that part of myself, and it took years of self-rejecting to get back to me. What changed? I got out of a relationship. That was my problem, I started to doubt myself thanks to that relationship. It was unhealthy for me.

Hi Sara! Oh wow you’ve got lots of things going on for you! My advice would be to keep experimenting and sharing content and your art of your different accounts, and I’m quite sure you’ll start to see which one you enjoy the most and which one resonates with your audince the most too ☺️ I think in the long run, it will be tricky to try to keep so many different accounts going if you want to really build something larger and substantial, so then I’d probably start focus on one. But for now, enjoy the experimenting and sharing your passions ☺️

Hi Kyrie! I’d say yes, in the beginning if you want to grow and establish a brand that people recognise and get a clear understanding of what you’re about choosing a main niche or theme is important. BUT, when you’ve established that you can also experiment with other types of styles, as long ad you keep that main style clear and cohesive. Alternatively you could try to develop a style that mixes your interets and create something where these styles meet ☺️

Liked how you present that way you create compelling content. Thank you so much for sharing. Yes, asking " would you follow yourself" is a good one. The best way to teach people is by telling a TRUE story. Educational content is a must !!! As for IG trends in 2021 ✔️ Carousel posts ✔️ Instagram Stories ✔️ Reels ✔️ Instagram Live To Live On ( for high quality you can go live from your PC or Mac using yellowduck.tv) ✔️ Instagram’s explore tab ✔️ IG shops

Ah glad you asked :)) I first filmed my "present self", then did a wardrobe change and filmed my "past self". I made sure to not step over the "middle" line of the frmae while filming. Then I combined the clip sin Premier Pro (editing software I use) and used the Crop tool (in the effect panel) and cropped 50 of one of the clips and ta-daaa! I was in the frmae twice :))

Thank you for your tips. I am also struggeling with my IG. As I don't want to post only product Pictures and can't post Art works every week, it is very pressuring. Actually I am trying to post zwice a week for my grit and every now and then for stories or reels. But I don't get reels... my last post got over 900 views and then I posted another and there weren't even 10... I am stuck somehow. I don't get over 62 follows...

It’s not about the numbers or followers or likes they way you are going to grow is by putting content out there and not giving a rubbish about the likes or following and don’t focus on the outcome but the progress

No worries.... only elites of the elites can say "Vulnerable" in fact i doubt even people i heard them say it really say this word - they just go VERNEBEL and ... we just know what it means without checking how they spell it out. As English is not my first language as well, when I first saw this word I thought it has something to do with Vultures.

My goal (in life and with my account @raninainen) is to help everyone to find a way to move and to enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle. I truly think this planet would be a better place if we all would be healthy and happy and the low impact outdoors excerzising is a great way to improve both our happiness and health 😄❤

Ooh, I'm such a perfectionist so it's been difficult to figure out my style etc. It feels like I need to know everything before even starting. It's great to hear that all the things will eventually fall into place. All I need to do is to be consistent. 😊 My goal with my Instagram is to support my journey to be more than just a hobby photographer. And also to live out my creative soul! I would be glad to see you on my account - @lauraorofoto.

I know how that desire to make everything perfect can sometimes get us stuck in moving forward. But my exprience has definitley been that the most important thing is to show up and keep going and eventually you’ll start to see what sticks nd works for you and your audience ☺️ I’ll come and say hi on Ig too 😍❤️

Really inspiring again! Thank you for all the tips💟 I'm a photographer and I'm trying to create audience in instagram. Sometimes I do think that I can make it, but lately really feel very exhausted of posting and trying to find the golden egg that all will talk about... You gave me some important points that will think over and try them. Will I follow myself now? ... Great question! Thank you once again and if someone is curious about my photos can visit my instagram: instagram.com/v.alstyle

Hi Valentina! I know it can feel defeating when you put on lots of effort and don’t see those results in the numbers. I’d say focus on improving your photography and narrowing down on your style and niche. You’ve hor some beautiful pics on your account, went and had a sneak 😉 I think you could narrow your focus even more when you find what type pf photos you enjoy and that resonate with your followers so that you can make your account stand out even more clear, you’ve clearly got many visual interests 😌
