After all the hustle of shooting, editing and creating.. You finally hit POST.

But now what?
Should you sit quietly and wait for like and comments? Or is there something you should do right after posting for the real boost of your reach?
Let’s look at that –

Step 1: Tell your followers about it

You have worked hard on that post so don’t let it sit quietly on your feed.
Instead let your audience know it’s LIVE!!
How? Just simply reshare the post on your story and add an engaging sticker like a poll, emoji slider, or question.
This will grab attention and drive instant traffic.

Step 2: Give compliments, get noticed

Now this is funny but imagine complimenting someone.
As you make them feel good, and naturally they notice you too.
So here’s what to do: Go to post in your same niche, interact genuinely, drop meaningful comments, and engage with their content.
Target at least 10 latest posts from accounts in your niche.
This not only builds relationships but also signals the algorithm that you are active.

Step 3: Compliment yourself

Really? Comment on your own post – maybe add context, start a conversation, or you can pin a question to initiate the conversation.

This boosts early engagement and encourages others to join in.

Step 4: Respond to comments

Whether it’s a real life or reel life, responding to compliments matters.
Your audience took out their time to comment so now you have to make sure you reply to them.
This builds connection and pushes your post in the algorithm.
Pro tip- Even you should go back to your old posts and respond to any missed comments. It also boosts the reach.

Step 5: Engage with big accounts

Comment on big accounts “more than 50 k followers” and engage with their reels, post and carousels.
Find large account in your niche and engage with their content as it gives signal to your algorithm.
