10 Reasons Why Your Account Isn't Growing and You Are Consistently Losing Instagram Followers!

Before you start reading this report, let me tell you that: if you're losing Instagram followers, you are like the others of us. (Yes, even me!) Noticing that each and every evening you have a few fewer followers than just one earlier, or perhaps you gain 10 just to lose 6 minutes later, is wholly normal. This can be just part of Instagram and part of the procedure for growing your accounts. Maybe not everybody will love your content forever, some people may play follow and unfollow games, and sometimes you liberally might be doing things that cause people to unfollow you, but that's why I am here! -- to assist you to figure out what those ideas are and prevent them in their tracks.

Below are 10 good reasons why you may be losing Instagram followers and the way you can prevent it from happening today. Should you take some opportunity to truly read each one and implement my suggestions onto your accounts, you should see a constant growth in followers and also people pesky unfollowers will get a worry of your past. So, if you're fed up with losing Instagram followers and also you wish to inject some life back into your feed, keep reading!

YOU'RE USING"Black-hat" Techniques AND GETTING"SHADOW BANNED"

Using robots such as Instagress or even FollowLiker to connect with users can not just bring in an unengaged and inauthentic following to an account, but it may also assist you in some trouble. If you're not aware of these services are, fundamentally you provide them access to Instagram credentials and so they automatically enjoy, comment, follow and unfollow on your behalf. In case it sounds convenient, it's because it is, but this program is contrary to Instagram's Terms of Service and should be avoided if you'd like to remain within their good books.

In the previous six months, Instagram has shown signs of ardently cracking down on services similar to this by straight-up deleting your account, or putting you under a"shadow ban" making everything look fine in theory, but realistically your posts are not being seen by your followers, your images are not being categorized in hashtags, and you've nearly become imperceptible on the platform. Which, obviously, might be seriously detrimental to the development of one's account.

2. You Are POSTING INCONSISTENTLY, OR YOU'RE POSTING TOO MUCH

If you've noticed that you're losing Instagram followers a lot more than you are gaining them, your mailing schedule may definitely have something to do with it. You've probably heard it before and I am sure you'll hear it again; Consistency is essential. (In most aspects of life too, not simply Instagram!) If you are posting haphazardly you aren't giving your audience an opportunity to get used to your content within their own feeds so when you do finally show up they may not remember that you are or why they followed at the first location. On the other hand, if you should be posting a lot, state 5times per day, you can quickly and easily annoy your followers that leads to them hitting that button that is uninstalled. For me personally, the joyful balance is 1-2 posts each day, or at a minimum, 5 posts each week.

When you post consistently your audience gets to know you a little bit better with each post. If your content is pleasurable to the eye as well as also your captions are interesting, they'll begin building respect for you and get excited whenever they view your posts. It's just like the first couple weeks of dating somebody new. . That you want to be around them all the time, but you've also gotta let them miss you a little bit to build up the text (What? You didn't think you had been gonna receive dating information once you landed this blog article? Well. . Think again my buddy )

3. YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION IS POOR

First impressions are all. When it is a job interview, a date, a speaking engagement, and sometimes here on Instagram, the first impression you create to a fresh visitor into your feed is so critical -- so be sure you don't mess it up!

Besides your images (that's covered in #4) first thing fresh people are going to see is your own biodegradable. Is it packed out? Does it explain that you are or what the business is? Do you say the way you may be able to assist them? Where you are located? Where they can find out more? etc.. If you've not done this, then you're missing out on a huge opportunity, and it's likely your first belief didn't move well!

4. You Are LACKING COHESIVENESS / CONSISTENCY / THEME

Just like your biodegradable, the images on your feed give your audience an immediate taste of what you are about and what they could get from you. If your feed is clunky with exceptionally different graphics, mismatched colors, and changing image qualities it is easy to frighten away potential followers.

5. YOUR CAPTIONS Are Not Intriguing OR ENGAGING

Good images can keep your followers curious, but great captions maintain your audience spent. If you find you are losing Insta-gram followers after you've only posted an image, your captions could be the culprit. In another article, think about including a number of the following matters:

* Context behind the image (what's happening here, why is it crucial, who is init?) * Inform a story (just how do you connect personally to the image, was it shot during a period of struggle, could it be something you adore, could it be an essential section of your business?) * Ask a question (receive your audience engaged !) * Use a call to actions (tell your viewers you want them to leave a comment, Double-tap, tag a buddy, or click on the link in your bio)

These basic tweaks create your audience feel like you are talking directly to them also it encourages them to participate together with your content. If what you're sharing resonates using them better believe they are going to keep coming back. If you're simply just uploading images with no context, odds are good they'll finally become bored and hit on unfollow button.

6. You Are Not USING Hash-tags Precisely

If you're not using hashtags at all, you are making a large mistake. If you're using hashtags however you aren't entirely sure about the ones that you're using or can not tell if you should be getting results from them, you are part of this majority on Instagram. Hashtags are a must-have for a bit of a good Instagram plan because they put your articles in front of new audiences daily. If you aren't with these, then you aren't necessarily going to lose followers, but you won't gain some new ones!

7. YOU AREN'T BEING PROACTIVE

You can't join Instagram, place a few pics and expect to own your following continuously growing day by day. Unfortunately, there's a degree of work and work that should be put in in order to see upwards growth also to keep your existing followers around. That effort comes in the shape of engaging with your audience, or potential crowd, on a daily basis. I recommend setting some time aside every day to enjoy and also discuss the images of people that you think may be interested in your articles (this is how you obtain new folks looking in your feed). I would also put aside time to participate to your present audience by responding to some comments left for your own pictures, or moving throughout your home feed and also liking/commenting to the photos of individuals who already follow you. Obtaining new followers is one thing. Keeping, and appreciating your existing followers is another. Make sure that you do both to see the very best results.

8. YOU’RE NOT PROVIDING VALUE, ENTERTAINMENT, OR EDUCATION

If you would like to cultivate an audience or maintain the one that you have today, happy, you need to address some kind of problem in their opinion. Are you currently trying to understand how to knit? -- offer them a few strategies or video tutorials. . Are you currently looking for a laugh or something funny that they could share with your own buddies? -- offer them up so far, well-made memes with comical complimentary captions. Fill a void for them and they're going to return again. Get stale plus they're going to unfollow.

With no cameras allowed in public places and a slightly inaccessible website… Soho Farmhouse remains a mystery to many people. In fact my video inside Soho Farmhouse is one of my most viewed – proof to me that people are interested to know more. I’ve actually written about staying at Soho Farmhouse three times before and I’ve stayed five times at the English country resort-cum-private members club. To take a fresh perspective, I thought I’d tell you what it’s like staying in the biggest possible accommodation offered at Farmhouse – the three bed room cabin. If you want to know more about staying at the resort in general, refer to this post about our first stay or this one about the top ten things to do at Soho Farmhouse. Let’s start from the beginning. I visited Soho Farmhouse last year with my parents, now in all honesty it’s not 100% their cup of tea as my mum prefers modern hotels and Soho Farmhouse takes the ‘farm’ theme to the extreme and the cabins are very rustic. Honestly, I love it there but I will say I know it’s not for everyone. My parents also felt like they were the oldest people there as the average age of guests is probably 25 – 45 so being in their 60s they felt a little random. However, my mum decided that they wanted to go again because there were many things that they did like, eg the size of the cabins, the proximity to their Buckinghamshire home, food that is tasty and simple and overall good value for money. A question I always get asked is how have I always been able to book a room. I’m a member of Soho House and there are rooms reserved for members only, I’ve tried to book for friends and family but they only allow non-members during the week. During my recent stay we were told that this was set to change to members only though friends and family can stay with a member in the group.

Before now, I’ve always stayed at the weekend and I secured bookings only by doing so around six months in advance. Rates vary as to whether you’re a member or non-member or whether you have booked a friends and family rate. To give you some example of the difference, a studio cabin (the entry level cabin) is £295 for a member and £355 for friends and family. We paid £805 per night for the three bedroom cabin – I know that’s a lot but when you think it can fit six people in and they’d being paying £135 each, it’s really not that bad considering the size of the room that you get. On this occasion we booked mid-week as my parents are retired and my sister and I have flexible schedules. I booked our October stay in July which is still quite far in advance even for a mid-week stay. My parents drove to Soho Farmhouse but as I don’t have a car (Mr S usually drives but he didn’t come this time) I got the train to Charlbury and Soho Farmhouse arranged a taxi for me. My sister came the next day by train too. When you arrive at Soho Farmhouse there’s a gate house where they’ll take your name and booking details. Members of Soho House members can also come for the day and sign in guests but space at the restaurants is subject to availability and guests can’t use the pool etc. Once you’ve checked in, a repurposed milk float with drive you to the cabin. With three bedrooms, our cabin was of course huge! I mentioned it’s the biggest cabin available, but there is also the farm cottage which sleeps eight, it’s not included in the cabin category and two of the rooms are bunk rooms rather than full size bedrooms.  Every guest is provided with a bike to get around the farm (though we never used ours!) and you’re asked your shoe size so that they can give you wellie boots. Are you ready to go inside? So the first thing to see is a porch type area where you can hang up you coat and leave you shoes. There’s also a picnic basket and blanket, books and a few bits and pieces should you want to clean the room. Under that curtain is a full size washing machine and tumble dryer – not something you see often in a luxury fully catered hotel. From the porch you enter into a cosy living area with a huge comfy sofa and two arm chairs. There was only four of us staying but it’s worth noting that though this is a six person cabin, there’s not enough space for everyone to sit in the living room on sofas. There’s a big screen TV, a fire place, books to read, and a double balcony. The cupboards and drawers are packed full of drinks and snacks and games – snacks aren’t included in the price of the room but there is a fresh loaf of bread and cheese on arrival plus a pint of milk delivered every day. There’s also a dining table in the room with six chairs but for some reason I didn’t take a photo of it. One reason my mum likes coming to Soho Farmhouse is that the cabins have full kitchens – not that she wants to cook but she just likes having it there! The kitchen has everything including the kitchen sink so there’s an aga and hob, dish washer, toasters, kettle, Nespresso machine and in the cupboards and drawers you’ll find glassware, cutlery and crockery. There’s a cute farm shop at the house so you can pop there and pick up some food if you do fancy preparing it yourself. If you don’t fancy going to breakfast, there’s also granola in the room which you can have with your daily milk. There’s also a float which prepares breakfast to order right outside your room! There’s a huge American-style fridge, stocked to accommodate six people, aka full of wine and champagne… there’s even pre-made cocktails should that take you fancy. And then there’s some cute retro touches in keeping with the style of the house such as a Robert radio, record player and dial phone. One thing I will say is that I don’t think the living area is as the equivalent in size to the one bed room cabin, which is odd as one is for six people and the other only for two. Here’s a picture so you can see what I mean. Downstairs there are two bedrooms which are pretty much mirror images of each other so I’ll just show one. They’re very spacious and the bed and pillows are some of the most comfortable I’ve ever had – on this occasion it was only me in the bed but there was space for five. There’s a large screen TV and in the downstairs bedrooms, the bath is in the room and there are small balconies that over look the lake. Every bedroom has a full size bathroom with double sinks and an absolutely huge shower… one thing I love about staying here is you don’t really need to bring that much with you so it’s perfect if you’re coming straight from working in London. There are loads of amenities included, more than I usually see in a hotel such as facial cleanser and moisturiser, razor, mouth wash, tooth-brush and tooth paste. They have all the usual things you’d expect in a five-star hotel such as shampoo, conditioner and shower gel but they come in full size bottles in all different fragrances. All products are Cowshed, the Soho House-owned spa brand and the fragrances have quirky names such as Grumpy Cow, Knackered Cow and Lazy Cow so you can pick depending on you mood. They also provide the snuggliest of robes, slippers and flip flops too. You leave your styling tools at home because as well as the usual hair dryer, there are straightening irons in the room. There’s also plenty of chargers, converters and USB cables should you need those.  My room was located up the stairs and was a slightly different configuration to the other rooms. The room itself is slightly smaller but it had a longer balcony with a beautiful view of the river. As I mentioned, this very rustic style with the unvarnished wood and retro details isn’t for everyone but I really love it. The bathroom had the double sinks, huge shower and all the other amenities that there were downstairs but the bath was in the bathroom rather than the bedroom. We found, perhaps because of the location of the room, there were a lot of flies and it was even worse in my upstairs room. They sprayed the flies but there just ended up being lot of dead ones around which house keeping didn’t clean up, they were very apologetic on check out though and ended up comping one of our meals as an apology. We rarely go away as a family especially without Mr S so it was really lovely to have this getaway and all be able to stay under one roof but with the privacy of individual bedrooms and bathrooms.  I do want to tell you a little about what goes on behind the ‘gram as we do know that life isn’t always Insta-perfect. The day before we were set to stay at Soho Farmhouse my dad had an accident at a round about and fell off his bike. You can read more about it on his blog. Anyway, the paramedics signed him off and we thought he was ok but he was in a lot of pain during our two day stay and ended up skipping dinner and breakfast. A big bruise came up on his back but he was complaining of pains in his chest which were growing worse. We decided to leave earlier than planned and take him to Stoke Mandeville Hospital. It turned out he had three broken ribs as well as that nasty bruise and there were further complications as he’s on blood thinning medication. We ended up in A & E for ten hours and he had  to stay over night for observation. I’m happy to say though that he’s well on the way to recovery, though there’s not much you can do for broken ribs, he’s on pain medication and his blood stabilised over night. We stayed in the three bedroom cabin a few weeks ago and last week Mr S and I returned to stay in a one bedroom for my birthday. We left early on Sunday to go to another hotel to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday! We had a very special lunch at The Grove Hotel in Watford (another family favourite) with about 50 friends and relatives. With about four weeks passing, his ribs were feeling much better and he had a great time especially spending time with his grandchildren, Jackson and Charlie.

There’s nowhere quite like Soho Farmhouse, in my opinion and staying in the three bedroom cabin was a great experience. I loved spending the time with my family and I’m sure we will all be going back again when my dad is 100% better.
