Paying Someone To Just… Post?
If you’re shelling out cash for someone to mindlessly dump your content on Instagram, no wonder you’re stuck in the land of zero likes, zero engagement, and zero growth. Do yourself a favor—cut them loose. And if you’re just posting and ghosting on Instagram, that’s exactly why your content is flopping. The 2025 algorithm isn’t playing games—it wants real engagement. Likes, comments, shares, and saves? Yeah, they’re your new besties. Here’s why you need to stop ignoring them:
If No One’s Engaging, No One’s Seeing It
Instagram is like that friend who only hypes up people getting attention. The more interaction your post gets, the more Instagram pushes it out. No likes? No comments? No saves? No shares!? No love… Sad, but also true. So, how tf do you get people to engage with your content? You start by engaging with theirs!
No Engagement = No Community = No Sales
You’re not just here to look cute—you’re building something, right? So, engage! Reply to comments, start convos, and actually talk to your audience or potential dream clients. Otherwise, they’ll find someone who will.
Shares & Saves Are the New Power Moves
Likes are cute, but shares and saves? That’s what Instagram really cares about (right) now. If people are sending your post to their besties or bookmarking it, the algorithm treats you like royalty.
It’s Not 2015—You Need to Work for That Engagement
Gone are the days of posting a selfie and calling it a day. Instagram is rewarding content that creates actual conversations. If your audience isn’t talking, neither is the algorithm. This definitely opens the door for posting controversial and even polarizing content, but remember if you’re engaging in that type of content— don’t just do it for hype, do it because you believe in it.
If you’re just posting and praying for likes… that’s exactly why you’re stuck.
SO, IF YOU TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THIS…
Instagram’s 2025 algorithm isn’t playing—it wants real engagement. If you’re not getting comments, shares, and saves, the algorithm is literally ignoring you. Harsh? Maybe. True? 1000%. Likes are cute, but if you’re not making your audience want to talk, share, or save, your content is basically invisible. Stop treating Instagram like a one-way street. Show up. Engage. Start actual conversations. Or keep wondering why your posts are flopping.
