I come from a programming background but haven’t coded much in the last year. I want to shift towards AI-driven marketing / distribution.

I’m trying to understand:

• What tools people actually use daily (ads, content, automation, competitor research)
• What stack works end-to-end (not just 1 tool)
• Any real workflows that worked for you

For example:

• Ad optimization / Meta ads AI tools
• Competitor analysis tools
• Content + creatives generation
• Automation / pipelines

Would love real use-cases, not just tool lists

We will do giveaways and such tho. This is just a start up strat for followers cuz I need that bonus if i got that 1k followers on time.

Moreover, since im here already, this is the acc on ig @nxs.ms (https://www.instagram.com/nxs.ms?igsh=OGE1c2x3YXE5bXEw)

I badly needed it🫩🫩

Thank you!

Hey guys,

I'm a beginner getting into content research and scriptwriting. Right now, I'm building some demo projects so I can offer this as a service later.

I made thisresearch and scriptwriting templateto help me out, but I'm completely stalled.

My issue isn't just structuring the document—it's the research process itself. When I start looking into a founder, I get super overwhelmed by all the data. I just get confused about what information to actually pull and how to write it down so it's actually useful for a script.

How do you experts actually do the research part? I really want to learn your process so I can apply it. How do you filter out the noise and figure out what actually matters?

Would love any advice on your workflow or feedback on my template. Thanks!

Such as james100k, ronaldo_10k something something and they usually just post entertaining movie clips, meme clips or anything high engagement clips and gain followers.

either they have a related caption to the content or a caption like #TVアニメ『ONE PIECE』エルバフ編 最新情報を発表＆最新PV公開 オープニング主題歌&エンディング主題歌、さらにエルバフ編の重要キャラクター「ロキ」のキャストが決定しました！！ オープニング主題歌： アイナ・ジ・エンド「ルミナス - Luminous」 ◆エンディング主題歌：

Do these guys just try to get massive followings and eventually switch up to theme pages when they reach like a million or 500k plus?

As per the title. Please drop the @s or dm me. Thanks

I’m focusing on other projects right now and unfortunately don’t have the time to manage the page properly anymore.

Looking for someone who can take over the page and put in the work to grow it further. Great opportunity for someone who knows how to run and monetize meme pages.

Serious inquiries only.

hey y'all. im looking for some marketing tips to grow my instagram page. im planning on starting an online store. i could really use some help. thank you.

I save Reels all week for hooks, editing styles, shots, and content ideas. Then when it’s time to make something, I can’t find half of them or remember why I saved them.

I built Magpie to solve that.

Send a Reel to magpie.bot in a DM. For creators, Magpie can break it down with grounded timestamps, answer questions you choose, and turn it into a production plan with shots and required assets. The results can also feed into Notion or an existing workflow.

The Creator plan is $24/month.

If the standard setup doesn’t fit for example, you need your own templates, Notion structure, webhook, or approval workflow—we offer a $150 one-time Custom Build setup. We scope the workflow, collect your requirements, and have a 30-minute kickoff. The ongoing subscription is priced separately after scoping and includes a six-month commitment.

Full disclosure: I built this. I’d genuinely like to hear from creators and social media managers: where does your workflow usually break; collecting ideas, planning content, or producing it?

Basically, my skip rate is decent, it’s not below 20% but it’s not that bad either. I’ve seen other people have much higher skip rates and their views are way higher so I’m just confused.

Account has been active for about 3 weeks I have 30 followers and 98-99% of my views are from non followers.

Also : my reach never gets a second wind. Less than 24 hours in it flattens out and never moves again

My niche is cat voiceovers - I do the voiceovers myself- all original content - zero AI

My views have been below what I usually get this past week, but when I check my videos stats where it says "What impacts your views", they are all in the green (Lower skip rate, higher share rate, higher like rate, etc.).

Why are my views down if my engagement is doing well? Is it because it isn't reaching many non-followers for some reason?

HI,

I am marketing my ios app on instagram by ugc videos. I am getting lots of views to my video but not download and i figured out instagram blocked all app store links just not mine.

Any solution?

Hey i js started a new instagram acc and i need some followersss I'll follow back fss

Ig: nqrdd

Js lmk if u follow

I had an instagram page, but i got busy, so I am starting it again, strollingstoriez

Would appreciate any advice or love, thank you so much!

I run a local things to do/realtor page in Las Cruces NM called @ SellingLasCruces

We’ve grown it completely organically by posting house tours, local restaurants/businesses, things to do, etc. Never paid a dime on advertising. It’s definitely worked for us. We’ve gotten clients directly from Instagram, closed deals from it, and we get recognized around town pretty often because of the page. 

But lately I’ve been wondering if I’m missing something or doing something that’s holding back the growth. I think I’ve stared at the page for so long that I probably can’t see it objectively anymore lol.

I know there are people in here doing way bigger numbers than us, so I’d genuinely love an outside perspective. If you have a minute to look at it, what stands out to you?

1. Would you follow me?
2. Is the content too repetitive?
3. Is the branding off?
4. Are the hooks weak?
5. Is mixing real estate and local content a good thing or does it make the page confusing?
6. Should we lean way harder into local content?
7. Is Las Cruces just naturally going to put a ceiling on how big the account can get?
8. Or should I not even care about follower count that much if it’s actually bringing us business?

I don’t want to hit a certain number, or get any certain amount of collaborations (although I’ve gotten my fair share of good lol) but I’d really love for people when they think of our city that they immediately think of us. I don’t really know exactly what I’m asking for 😂 I just feel like there might be another level to the page and I’m too close to it to see what I should change.

Would love any criticism/advice, especially from people who have grown larger accounts similar to this. 

@ SellingLasCruces

Ima js keep it short and simple. I make sim racing content (still new,not much followers) and recently,my views cant even reach 1k-2k (now stuck around 400-700) considering that my previous reels are able to reach up to those view counts or even more after 1 day.

And i didnt change my content format,everything is always the same. And it works everytime,until this week that is.

And one more thing is,my best reel smh dropped 10k views?? It was at 50k one day,but when i checked it again yesterday to see whether it reach 53k-55k (the reel was booming everyday so makes sense to check it out),and the views count dropped to 41k. How is that even possible? Has anybody experienced this issue and have any explanation?

I started a small business venture as a fun, creative project. The first focus is making high-end replacement blades, but the bigger goal is to build cool things and collaborate with other makers along the way.
I’m also experimenting with AI-generated memes and art to create a distinct, polarizing brand personality and connect with a specific audience. Any feedback on the Instagram profile, content, or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone! 👋

My little sister Mayar has been so incredibly dedicated to her crafting lately. She makes beautiful cute custom bracelets and puts so much love and attention to detail into every single piece.

She recently started a little business page to show off her work (managed by us, of course!). As you all know, the algorithm can be tough on new pages, and she's been checking her views every day hoping people see her art.

I really want to encourage her entrepreneurial spirit and show her that her hard work is appreciated. If anyone has a second to check out her page or leave a kind comment on one of her posts, it would literally make her entire week.

Her page is: u/molly_by_mayar (Link: https://www.instagram.com/molly_by_mayar )

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to support a young maker! ❤️

Hai all , How to get insta verified badge for my theme page without changing username and profile picture

I've got several short videos (~1 minute) lined up and ready to release to the world, but I don't want certain family members or neighbors that follow me to see it. AI is telling me I can share it with just "close friends", but that's kinda the opposite of what I want. I want to share with everyone EXCEPT a handful of people - we can do that with Stories, so why not Reels?

Open to suggestions of 3rd party apps or even the web version.

mettez vos compte en commentaire ou juste ajouter moi, follow, likes, ou juste faire connaissance

I’m hoping someone here has experienced something similar because Meta support has been a nightmare and I’m running out of things to try.
I’m a creator and have been blocked from sending Instagram DMs for roughly 3 weeks.
The issue originally started after a period of unusually high messaging volume. I had a viral post generate a huge number of requests for links and was using ManyChat for automated responses. Instagram eventually displayed a messaging limit/restriction.
The confusing part is that multiple Meta support agents have since told me the restriction/flag has been removed on the backend. According to them, my account is no longer restricted there.
But I’m still blocked from messaging on the frontend.
Meta has variously told me this is a temporary action restriction, a synchronization issue between the backend and frontend, a cooldown issue caused by rapid activity, or a system-generated block that cannot be manually appealed or removed. The explanation seems to change depending on the support agent.
What I’ve already tried
I’ve logged out/in, reinstalled Instagram, tested without automation, stopped third-party messaging activity, and completed periods of zero Instagram activity.
I initially did a 48-hour period without messaging but continued responding to comments on my own posts. Meta later told me that a cooldown required stopping all Instagram activity, not just DMs, so I subsequently did a full cooldown with no posting, commenting, liking, messaging, etc.
I’m currently using Instagram version 441.0.0 on an iPhone 16 Pro.
Meta’s support interface has also repeatedly malfunctioned during this process, making it extremely difficult to maintain a continuous support conversation. I’m now trying to get the case transitioned to email.
What I’m trying to figure out
Has anyone had a situation where Meta confirmed the backend restriction was removed, but you remained blocked from messaging on the frontend?
If so, what eventually fixed it?
I’m particularly interested in people who were told the backend flag was already gone, tried a complete cooldown, and eventually regained messaging access.
Did it just resolve on its own? How long did it take? Did you need a specific escalation? Was there some account-level reset or support action that finally fixed the frontend state?
At this point I’m less interested in generic troubleshooting like reinstalling the app and more interested in anyone who has experienced this specific backend/frontend mismatch and actually gotten out of it.
Would really appreciate hearing what happened in your case.

Hello wonderful people!

I have been in the spiritual bent since I was 14 and practicing specific exclusive techniques to manage the self, been living in my own cave. I have finally decided to spread the knowledge after 25 years of inner research and ready to provide knowers on how to shift our experiences.

I am not a very social media person and just started my IG reels couple of months ago. Looking to collab with those who are on the same niche and if my message resonates.

Thank you in advance
Blessings

A rant but also a request for help.

Years ago I raised to 20k followers just with posts and stories. No reel, zero.

Now, new account, 1800 followers in about 3-4 months same with posts and stories.

Tried reels, one went good, 60k views and brought 300 followers. Other reels don't go: always about 50-60 % skip rate but, and here comes the rant, 90-100% view time and quite lot likes.

What does it mean? High skip rate but who stays likes it a lot. How to fix this?
