2 week results on a new Instagram meme page
After seeing the stories somewhere on Reddit, maybe here, about using memes to grow an an account to thousands very quickly I thought I’d give it a shot.
My niche is Real Estate and what it’s like to be an agent. So I created all new memes. I didn’t take other people’s work like some suggested. It was more work than I had hoped but I enjoyed it.
I don’t think I followed and I followed the volume of people they suggested. Also, my source for the follows was a major meme page, a trending hashtag in my field and a large company. It seemed impossible to know if I would be just refollowing the same people that I followed so I haven’t done a lot of unfollowing.
Currently I have 400 followers, net following 2094. I’ve probably unfollowed 150 people before I stopped but I’m not sure. It’s been 2 weeks with 40 posts. I used 27 relevant hashtags but I very rarely get a follow that I wasn’t already following. So I don’t know if there hashtags matter but I’ll play along. It also could be that my target audience doesn’t look at hashtags.
I posted 3 times a day for the first few days then went to 2.
I do take similar content and post to my stories and rerun my contact in stories just for more exposure.
I use Later to post, it just made the hashtags and planning easier. All of those memes start to look the same.
Early on I had 8% of the people follow back. Now it’s around 18% but that could be a longer tail effect where people from last week are noticing or me liking comments is causing them to look.
If I was in a larger niche I think it could have been later. I’m happy with the results.
I probably could have worked the following side harder but my goals aren’t the same as the other pages.

How do you feel these memes reflect on your real estate business though?

Reasons why I gave up interacting on Instagram. I felt like my account got limited to certain views..
