Starting career as Instagram Growth Consultant – Need advice
Posted by on September 27, 2025 at 1:50 pmHi everyone,
I want to start my career as a social media consultant, mainly focusing on Instagram growth strategies.
About me:
I have around 4 years of experience in social media management.
My main skill is Instagram – I know how to create growth strategies, find content patterns, and suggest what type of content works.
I don’t want to only create content for clients, but rather guide them with strategies and ideas they can use.
To build trust, I also plan to create my own content on social media consultancy.
I need some help before I start:
-
What’s the best way to find my first clients for Instagram consulting?
-
How can I grow my personal brand as a consultant?
-
What are some new trends in this industry that I should pay attention to right now?
-
What mistakes should I avoid when starting out?
-
What’s the earning potential if I stick to this for the next 2–5 years?
-
How do consultants stay relevant when Instagram keeps changing so fast?
I want to start small, prove my expertise through content, and slowly grow from there. Any advice, stories, or tips from your experience would be really helpful 🙌
Thanks!

If you are gonna be a growth consultant, you should be able to grow your own brand first. start with one client, can be a friend you have and prove you can actually do it. use that as your personal case study to grow your brand

I love how you want to be an Instagram Growth Consultant but have to come on Reddit to ask how to do the basics.

Use instagram. Hire a consultant to help with strategy
-
If you’re going to be consulting others you should know the answers to the questions you asked.
-
How are you going to consult on growing on Instagram if you don’t know how to grow on Instagram ? Go get results. Then sell how you got them.

Good luck

Is this satire? Or are you legitimately posting here saying you want to be yet another one of the hacks shilling a course for a skill you don’t actually have.

So you’ve successfully grown pages already? Use that big following to show off your engagement rates and growth rates to promote your business! If you haven’t grown a page successfully, I would start there. That’s your portfolio and your reputation when someone who doesn’t know you finds you!

Best way to find clients is to target niche accounts using tools like IGScrape to gather leads fast. For personal brand, share case studies and real growth wins, not just tips. Stay relevant by testing new IG features early and always talk to actual users to see what’s working now

You’ve already been replaced by AI before you’ve started.

Hi OP! So, here are my questions for youuuu before we help you!
1) Why IG growth?
2) Have you ever built your own brand up and what are your personal vanity metrics and backoffice metrics?
3) What is your experience with ads manager and visibility campaigns vs. conversion campaigns?
4) What niche do you primarily want to focus on as you start? -
This is not really a viable career. AI will replace your job in no time.

You have 4 years of experience in social media management. You should be the one who will be answering such questions.
