How long does it take to break out of 200 view jail on pet Instagram?
My Instagram page for my cats generally caps at 200-500 views per reel with only a few breakouts. Even if I use hooks and formats that were successful for other pet pages,y views remain low.
I know it's controversial but I have tried boosting to see how the response is when more people see it and the reels do perform decently in that case.
I tried trial reels and only the ones like "if you scroll we'll never meet" got more than 500 views.
Because of this I've been trying new buckets of reels, lengths, text, hashtags, captions, and idk where to go from here. I post several times a week and have this account for close to a year.
I also know I can make the posts for trendy but I do want more of a cozy/slow living vibe for the page so not every trendy thing fits...
How do these cozy, slow living pet/home pages grow organically, get high reach, and find their target audience? I feel stuck and demotivated...
