Does getting verified help?

I know that it doesn’t increase reach and I know it can create trust (people see the blue check and think you’re legit) but I’m looking for someone who actually tested it in a growth phase to see if it works. I have about 1k followers and trying to grow. Not sure if it’ll help, hurt or do nothing. Thanks!

How can I grow?!

Other accounts in my exact niche are very large and I’m struggling to grow. I post often and I get good views (10x-20x follower count) with good engagement. I’m only at 300 followers though. How do I grow? Is it worth boosting and trying to get traffic to my page. My page is very aesthetic with a clear niche and problem solved and I think will capture follows. I don’t want to mess up my account with boosting tho. Should I ask larger creators in my niche to post my reels to their story for payment? I’m kinda lost on how to grow followers. Also to note I use affiliate marketing to monetize and I’m doing well at about 1k a month. I just know if I scale followers this could be a full time gig for me

Paid story shares

Is this something that is common? I’m new to Instagram and I’m having a hard time growing. My TikTok is doing really well and I’m over 10k followers with good affiliate income. I want to expect on Instagram and there are several accounts that have a very similar niche. I was thinking of approaching a mid sized account and asking for them to post one of my reels on their story. I’d pay them for it to be genuine and to get metrics after the 24 hours. Has anyone does this or have advice?

Missing work trip for first day of school

I have two kids in preschool and their first day of school as well as meet the teacher fall on the same dates as a work trip. My work can be flexible about missing trips if needed but it’s highly encouraged to attend. My kids are 2 and 4 so it is preschool but it is more like a school set up and not daycare so they are not there year round. This would be my 2 year olds first time going to school at all. I feel like this would significantly impact me mentally if I had to miss it.

Thoughts? Or anyone go thru something similar?

Why won’t my account grow?

I have a “gift idea” niche account and I am really struggling with views and followers. I also have a TikTok account and I have many 100k+ videos and I’m growing in followers

Since most of my income would from affiliate marketing I’d ideally be able to lean heavier into instagram since leaving the app is much easier on instagram than it is on TikTok. Happy to send anyone my handle if you have advice.
