I’m starting now on Instagram. I’m an Animation Designer student, and my university recommended us to create an Instagram. I wanted to post some drawings, but whenever I start, I can’t gain attention. Usually, my posts get like 3 likes and all of them are from my friends :sweat_smile:. I’m going now for my 4th account, but I want to do it differently. I want to start it the correct way, but I’m not sure how to do it. Please give some advice.

Instagram Reels is your best option to scale. Make a posting schedule—ideally 2-3 times a week. Don’t forget to add location tags and keywords related to the content. Add trending music and cross-share on your story with a location tag.

Thank you so much for your answer! What kind of location should I put? It’s not my actual location, right? :sob:

You can put any location. It’s not your exact location. For example, if you want to reach a local area, you could use a nearby spot. Or, if you’re in New York but want to tap into an audience in Paris, you can use that location.

Is it okay if each of my posts has a different location?

Yes, absolutely.

Great! I will try that then. Thank you so much for the help :heart:

Participate in the community—showcase your skills by engaging with others. Post consistently with a theme and provide step-by-step insights into your process. Use hashtags relevant to art and animation, like #animatorsoninstagram or #animationart.

Be patient. Building a following takes time. Each time you stop and restart, people who were following you might not come back. So be consistent and patient.
