Understanding The Instagram Algorithm - 9 Myths Debunked

Whenever we hear the word "algorithm", we seem to get confused because it seems such a complicated topic. This confusion leads to assumptions, which many people begin to believe despite them being completely false.

That's why in this Skillshare class I will be debunking 9 of the most common Instagram myths.

This will allow you to gain a greater understanding of how the algorithm operates so that you can then begin to work alongside it to propel the growth of your page.

The myths I debunk in the class are as follows:

Myth 1: Ranking favours certain content types

Myth 2: Short comments don't count

Myth 3: Engagement in the first 30-45 minutes matters most

Myth 4: Engagement groups work (WARNING - I rant a lot in this module!)

Myth 5: Your account type affects your reach

Myth 6: Instagram is penalizing your story views

Myth 7: You need to post daily to grow

Myth 8: Your posts are only shown to 10% of your followers

Myth 9: You need 10k followers before you can make money
