Some people have a knack for creating content that engages their audience and gives them a significant following on Instagram. But what do you do if you’re not getting the views or engagement you are looking for, and why do some of your posts generate loads of interest while others barely get noticed?
In this article, we look at five ways you can increase your views and promote more interest in your Instagram content.
Pay for Views
If you’re tired of devoting weeks and months to hunting for views, you can save lots of time and supercharge your Instagram growth by purchasing video views. (You can also do this for likes and followers.)
Reputable companies charge a surprisingly-low fee for boosting your views in just minutes with real views from real users’ accounts. This requires very little effort and is the best way to increase your views – not only because your view count will be boosted as soon as your engagements are delivered, but because of the way the Instagram algorithms work.
Popular content and popular accounts are given a much larger audience on the app, so once you make it look like lots of people are viewing your videos, they’ll be exposed to many more random users. Once those folks start watching the content, you’ll see your view count increasing rapidly – and your overall Instagram popularity and importance will start to soar.
This only works, though, if you buy those real views from real IG users from trustworthy services. Scam websites sell “fake” likes generated by automation, which don’t work and could tank your account. Know your provider before purchasing views or any other Instagram interaction.
Grab Their Attention
We are overwhelmed by content every day. You have to ask yourself what sets your posts apart from all of the others to stop people from doom-scrolling past them. The way to do this is to ditch the introduction and get straight to the point you are trying to make. Hook them in with what they want to know, tailored to whatever niche you are promoting, and then deliver it to them quickly.
A great way to grab potential viewers immediately is with your posts’ captions and the first line of your video. Here are some good samples of ways you can entice your audience.

This method works particularly well with Instagram reels. Reels are the most effective way to catch people’s attention because they are short and do not take up too much time to view. However, this means your reel must be appealing enough to entice your viewer and deliver ALL the information you want as quickly and effectively as possible.
Include a Call-To-Action
Invite your readers to interact with your posts by including a call-to-action. For example, if your post is about business goals, invite your viewers to share their top tips for growing their business in the comments. If you’re promoting cleaning tips, share your ideas and then ask others to include theirs so you can offer inspiration to everyone who sees the post.
What you’re really doing, of course, is boosting engagement on your posts, and the IG algorithms consider a higher engagement rate as a sign of increased popularity. You’ll get a larger audience for your content, and your view count will increase as a result.
You can apply this tactic to any subject. You can also make things more personal by asking users to comment on their favorite post/reel/story on your page. This will not only help you to see what is working well, but it might also help you to see what is less popular.
Carousel Posts
Carousel posts allow you to add up to ten photos or videos in one post. The viewer swipes to see the following image or video. Having several images in one post means more of your content is being seen, meaning you’ll be getting more views. Remember that it needs to be quality content that engages the viewer’s interest sufficiently to keep swiping.
The start of your Carousel should be like a hook, and then the rest should be like a story that finishes with a reveal or the reason that keeps them motivated enough to discover the outcome. Keep the content varied, too. Combining photos, videos, and text makes them more exciting and appealing. Once you have experimented with different styles, you can check back to see which Carousel posts got the most attention and apply this to future posts.
Let Your Instagram Stories Expire
You can upload as many stories as you like, but they will always expire after 24 hours. Although it might be tempting to post as many as you can throughout the day to increase visibility, you may notice a decline in popularity between your first posted story and those you published later in the day.
A decrease in views could be due to content overload, or they might have less appeal if your first story didn’t drive much traffic. Even if there is no drop in your views, it is a good idea to leave a break between posting stories. Monitor whether this impacts your views to see whether posting many stories each day benefits you.
