For anyone knowledgeable with Instagram, algorithm content and digital marketing I decided a year ago to start digital marketing. I purchased a course to learn how to monetize online, sales psychology, how to create content, website, Amazon, affiliate marketing, UGC etc..

I had an old Instagram that was - I want to say about 15 years old, that I never used. I used it when I first made it for a little bit and had some random followers based on some of my interests like healthy eating and lifestyle, etc..

I decided to start using this Instagram as my digital marketing content creation page. I’ve gone through the course. I’ve talked to coaches. I’ve talked to fellow peers in digital marketing. I’ve copied strategies, recreated, successful content, and I’ve posted three times a day switched up my bio switched up the way I worded things. I’ve done all the things- I am telling you it’s been a long year.

I’ve probably gained 20 followers. The most views I’ve gotten are 1000 or so on a few posts. The most likes I’ve gotten were 65 on a post but nothing more. My stories never gets views. I never get enough engagement.

I’ve done paid ads as well.

Every day I am learning on what New I can do and implement. I’ve been very eager,I’ve put in a lot of effort to no success. I have started using Threads and TikTok with brand new accounts, and Threads and TikTok have seemed to takeoff a little bit more than the Instagram.

Something tells me it’s because the account is so old and I still have those old followers because if I’m literally mimicking everything, my coaches and everyone else is telling me to do but I’m not finding success. I highly doubt it’s something I’m doing or it’s me.

Can anyone tell me their experience, recommendations? I would really love some encouragement because I’m trying to build a business to set myself up financially and build my life back.

Thank you so much! 🫶
