Instagram has a very complex and somewhat weird algorithm. To grow on this powerful social media platform, you must be consistent and follow a particular strategy to know what works or what doesn’t. Some tools take over your headache and make your life more comfortable and more straightforward with handling social media.

Repost on Instagram like a Ninja? Reposting or Resharing defined?

Quality content, scheduling, cornerstone content, resharing content (also known as reposting or republishing) … What do these terms mean?

Some of your social media content or posts are valuable, and they can add up so much value to the lives of your audience that makes the content more precious than the limited social media lifespan and when you provide some value to the lives of your audience and start creating fantastic content accordingly.

That unique and ageless content (which may only need minimal upgrading) is described as evergreen content.

So, you’ll require to reshare/repost/republish that content again and again on your social media platforms so that your present, as well as a new audience, can benefit from it.

You might feel that reposting will make your Instagram feed stale and repetitive, but it will add a lot of value to your Instagram account and the Instagram algorithm also works on post consistency. Content is king, and consistency is the key. If you are consistently posting content, your followers will grow, and reposting your evergreen or precious content will help you gain more followers on social media platforms. You can even reshare or repost your favorite creator’s content with your followers but with proper hashtags and credits. We will discuss that later in this post too.

Selecting Which of Your Instagram posts to Repost or Reshare

Have you ever thought about What type of content you should reshare or repost with your audience? When to reshare or repost ?? How often is reposting okay?

Remember that all your posts will not fit for resharing with your audience. Always choose your best and evergreen content for a resharing purpose. For example, if your post content describes your business or tells your audience or new followers coming to your account, what is your business all about? you can reshare it, but if your content has something related to marketing or discounts, you should avoid repetitive content. You can reshare or repost content that has some quote or your business taglines to build trust. Continuously analyze and think properly while resharing/reposting content with your audience. Don’t take any random post and reshare.

Product / Services Creatives 

If you have a product or services-based startup or business, having a stock of quality photos and creatives is necessary. You can repost or reshare the same photos with a little bit of change or tweak, like changing the color palette, tweaking font styles, etc. You can even reshare posts or photos without changing anything if you have some discount offers with the same product.

Accomplishments and milestones

Share successes, positive customer reviews, and events first as “news.” with your followers or customers.

Such a post may not look suitable for reposting. Still, from time to time, you can repost such posts with minor tweaks like changing descriptions and adding hashtags with starting of descriptions like #customerreviewthrowback.

Whenever you complete any new milestone, always share it with your audience. Let’s take an example:- Suppose you completed your first 100k followers on Instagram, then you can repost or re-share your previous milestone post and add a description like one month ago we had 10k followers, and with all your love and support, we completed 100k followers today. You can also make reels with your posts showing how you started and how you succeed as a brand or content creator on Instagram, and it increases your account engagement.

Social Media Content Calendar

Content is king only when you post consistently. So Social Media Content Calendar is necessary to grow on social media. Social Media Content Calendar is the Date and time you publish your content on every social media. While deciding your social media content calendar, you should focus on the right content mix like the 80/20 approach.

• 80% content to inform, educate and entertain
• 20% content is for direct promotion

Always keep experimenting with the ratio and be creative. Always focus on your strategy more.

Motivation and Inspiration

Motivational and inspirational quotes or posts are golden or evergreen content for reposting and resharing. It will increase your account reach because people are more likely to interact with your post when it gives some value, like motivational posts instead of direct promotion. As discussed above, the 80/20 ratio proves a great fit. If you want to grow socially, you have to master soft skills, especially empathy. Empathy is putting yourself in your audience’s shoes or perspective. Start thinking like your customers and think, while resharing or reposting, will your followers like it? How to add some twists so that it feels a little bit different. Always play with your content.

How-to posts on Instagram

Suppose your business provides some sort of services or products that requires some pre-knowledge before using them. In that case, you can create the post, and it will work as your evergreen content, and you can reshare or repost it at a particular interval of time, like once every two weeks. you have to experiment on that. When visuals are powered with audio, it can do wonders, so focus on explainer videos too. The reel is an excellent option to increase your account reach, and you can create 30-second reels as a manual for your product, and you can repost it or reshare it in your stories too.

Note:- You don’t require any high technical skills to create reels. Simple transition videos work too. Suppose you are camera shy, that is also not a problem. You just have to be creative.
