A Simple and Effective Daily Content Strategy For Instagram

There is no benefit to a stressful or overwhelming strategy for social media marketing. It’s common these days to espouse the virtue of hustle and hard work as the ultimate way to win, but what if you can achieve similar results with less effort?

Working smart is as valid as working hard. Putting the two together is the greatest course of action.

This guide will walk you through an Instagram marketing strategy that takes less than 15 minutes per day. Using this simple technique, you can build your page up to thousands of followers within six months.

 

instagramThe Daily Instagram Post Strategy

There is an Instagram strategy that is easy, sustainable, and shockingly effective. All you do is post a single form of content once per day, with very little variation, and do it every single day without fail. Additional posts besides the main pillar of daily content are entirely optional.

Many personal brands have been built on a persistent daily post strategy. Musicians may share cellphone video clips of their new songs each day. Visual artists can snap photos of 10-minute sketches and reach tens of thousands of people every day for free. Entrepreneurs may do vlogs and share scenic views from their travels.

This strategy really works. Its greatest strength is that you can condense the entire process into 15 minutes per day.

 

Finding a 15-Minute Instagram Post Format

Hard work does matter, which is why even the easiest strategy requires a 15-minute daily commitment. You may delegate aspects of the process to reduce your personal workload further.

Your first goal is to identify your niche and the kind of format you’ll use for your daily posts. This is best accomplished through an experimental process. Spend your first week following accounts and liking content that catches your interest. Then spend 2-4 works making a variety of posts, seeing which ones get the best response from the audience.

After the first month, you can look at your experiments and identify what kind of content was the best fit for you and your fans. That becomes your daily post format. By taking a month to work it out, you will have the flexibility to discover a format that is effective and doable within the 15-minute daily time limit.

With this strategy, you do not need to spend any brainpower thinking about hashtags, direct messages, or other common time-consuming ideas. Focus on giving Instagram your full attention for that 15 minutes of the day, and then don’t look at the app again until the next day.

You’ll be able to respond to a few comments per day once your posts start generating regular engagement. This is a good way to show your fans some appreciation.

The first few months on Instagram are usually slow. You may not gain too many followers right away, but keep pushing forward and making your content better. If you stick with this strategy and create great daily content for at least six months, you’ll see a big difference in your page’s reach.
