My posts on Instagram get 100k – 200k views in a week, and 50k – 60k profile visits; but only 800-1000 follows in a week. Is this normal? What can I do to increase my visit to follow ratio.

Have you tried following new viewers first, to encourage them to follow you back?

If not already, I would say “Follow me @randompage” as this might make people follow you a bit more.

Yeah its pretty normal. Some people simply like a post, may share it etc but really not fussed to go and like a specific page. I have a facebook page that reached 2-6 million a week easily and we get 2-5k new likes from that so yeah.

I cant even see the profile views on my Instagram because of the COVID-19 thing replaced it

This will totally depend on the type of content you create/post. If you’re a meme page I’d say this is normal. If you’re a content creator or blogger, something weird is going on.

Also, feels like Instagram is currently updating some stuff and things feel a little wonky at the moment.

yep, it’s normal (for you). It depends on so many factors and there is no general rule

Yeah I’d say experiment with call to action (CTA). In bio tell them the value of following you. “Follow for graphic design inspo” and again in caption after a few lines tell them the value again with your @. If you do sliders the last slides could have CTA such as “comment your… bla bla bla” “follow for daily design inspo –> sort of thing. Overall though it sounds perfectly normal ratio from what you’ve said. If anything quite healthy.

I’m also a graphic designer and don’t get nearly as many profile visits (are you saying you get 50k in a week?) but I average around 5-10k followers a month. It ebbs and flows. I think having a consistent style will help people follow you because they’ll be able to somewhat anticipate what’s coming next.

I always tell myself that the most recent 6 posts are what people will look at and decide to follow me based on, so it’s important I’m always posting stylistically consistent work that conveys a theme (in this case, definitely your style)

Would definitely look to test using a call to action (CTA) and see if that drives any results. I’m sure the content is great to be pulling in the views/follows that you are.

To further that it’s likely you need to give them further incentive to follow – through a CTA, or any chance of interactions/giving back for those who do. I may be able to help with a bit of guidance on this – you’re welcome to PM me if you need to brainstorm at all!

What’s you’re @???

[silk186]

This will be very content dependent. I don’t think it is a bad thing as a smaller more active follower base is better than a large inactive follower base.
