Importance of Engagement Rates on Instagram

Before we get started though, if you like this type of content about living up your hustles, loving up your social media game, then please subscribe to my channel. I release content every week, okay? So why am I telling you to do the unthinkable and actually remove followers and decrease your follow account? The reason why is this magical thing called engagement rates. And I feel like loads more people are getting kind of up to date with what engagement rates are recently. It's a bit of a buzzword, engagement. But what your engagement rate basically is, is the percentage of your followers who are actually engaging with your content, right?

Ways to Improve Engagement Rate on Instagram

In my opinion, there are two main ways to improve your engagement rate. One is by having a really solid engagement routine. If you don't have one and you'd like to find out what yours should be, or how to have one, then I recommend checking out this video. I share with you what mine is. I give you some tips and tricks to establish your own. The other way to improve your engagement rate, and probably the most drastic way, is to remove followers, which brings me back to the purpose of this video: removing inactive followers or followers who aren't engaging with your content is such an effective way to increase your engagement rate. It's also something that you need to look to do on a regular basis.

Identifying Inactive or Bot Followers on Instagram

So let's actually talk about how you do it and how you find those people. So, I just thought to myself, "Oh, it's gonna be really hard for me to find an example of someone to remove as your follower because I'm just so hot on removing followers." It took me two seconds to find someone who I need to remove, especially the fifth account. I'm obviously not as on it as I thought I was. Um, so there are a few characteristics in an account who is potentially a bot or someone who's not gonna engage with your content. The person who I found embarrassingly quickly, um, is this account here. So the reason why this has immediately flagged me is because first of all, there's no profile picture, which is a common trait of a bot.

Understanding Unfollowing Strategies on Instagram

Bonus tip I want to give you because I've seen a few people recommend this in the past and it's not the right way to do it: When you go on your following list, you'll see that there's an option to view the accounts that you've least interacted with. Sometimes I hear people giving advice to unfollow all of those accounts or to remove all those accounts as followers. And you don't want to do this. People who are showing up on that section aren't necessarily bots. They're people who you have least interacted with, so it's not people who aren't interacting with you, it's people who you aren't interacting with.
