I know I’m not alone in this, but this winter, my Instagram story views totally tanked for a bit. As in less than 1% of my followers were seeing my stories. Things felt so quiet that I could hear the crickets! It was frustrating, confusing, and made me feel very unmotivated to share. Instead of sulking about it and being mad at Instagram, I considered: Is what I’m posting just not engaging? And then also, what strategies can I try to fix this?! So, I did some things differently. I tried all sorts of things, and I want to share with you today what worked! So if your story views aren’t where you’d like them to be, this episode is for you. Also worth noting: the majority of these tips are based on my personal experience with the app so not necessarily any hard “research” or things heard directly from Instagram.
