Only focusing on new followers

Do you always focus on adding more followers to your account so that you have a larger audience?

But did you realize that by only focusing on new followers you are ignoring the ones you've already earned!

This leads to a small quantity of them unfollowing you, and a majority going silent (never engaging or even caring about you).

Hard truth: It's better to not earn a follower than earn a follower and make them forget you!

Reason: If someone hasn't followed you, Instagram will keep showing them your content on explore and you will show up on Suggested-For-You lists. So they constantly see you and remember you even if they don't follow you.

But the moment they follow you, they won't see your content on explore or you on SFYs. And if you ignore them and they ignore your content too, they'll soon stop seeing your content on the home feed. Your stories will also be pushed to the back.

Now they have no way of seeing you, in a few days they will forget you.

This is a big mistake many make!

Nurturing your following and keeping them with you is essential.
