Stop Chasing Algorithm Hacks: What Really Works for Instagram Organic Reach
Are you tired of endless Instagram "algorithm hacks" that promise the world but deliver nothing but wasted time and effort? You spend hours creating content based on the latest "insider tip" only to watch your reach flatline or even decline. You're constantly second-guessing your strategy, wondering if you're missing some secret formula that everyone else seems to know. The truth is, most of what you've been told about the Instagram algorithm is either outdated, oversimplified, or flat-out wrong. That's exactly what our guest today is here to help you fix.
Jenn Herman is a globally recognized Instagram expert, author of "Instagram For Business For Dummies," and the mastermind behind Jenn's Trends - a blog that Social Media Examiner has consistently named as one of the top social media blogs you should be reading. She co-hosts the Socially Confident podcast and has been at the forefront of Instagram marketing education for years, helping businesses cut through the noise to find what actually works for sustainable organic growth.
Social Pulse Podcast host Mike Allton asked Jenn Herman about:
🧡 Algorithm Reality Check - Why most popular Instagram "hacks" fail and what the algorithm actually prioritizes for organic content.
🧡 Sustainable Growth Tactics - Proven strategies that build long-term engagement rather than chasing short-term algorithm tricks.
🧡 Content Strategy Evolution - How to adapt your approach based on real algorithm changes versus social media rumors and misinformation.
