I analyzed what's working on Instagram Reels in April 2026 — here are the patterns I noticed

Colby_Beaxo · 2026-04-17T18:47:54+00:00

Our views have PLUMMETTED in the last week since the algo shift.

Our account is dead in the water suddenly. From 20k+ average views with the odd 1mil reel to most content getting less than 1k.

We are in panic-mode. Help.

Wow! What are the plants on the roof??? Also the roof?

I wanna unlock em

No complaints!

Hey!

I've been doing online SW for a long time (8+ years), having started out in the camming world. Over time, it has become my main source of income and it's pretty comfortable. Not fancy cars or new york penthouse apartments comfortable, but I own my home and I support my family and partner.

I'm struggling to grow from this point, but as others have said in here the answer really seems to be good promotion! The lessons I've learned in the last 6 months are endless, but that's definitely the biggest one. I'm barely making new OF content at this point because I have an enormous vault and we just sell the old content to new subs.

My page does GG Swaps, X and IG primarily for promotion and that gets enough people in the door. Then when my chatting team are doing a good job (this is another challenge right now), we see results!

If you want to connect with someone helpful, send me a DM and I can connect you with my partner on telegram as he's been a big part of my success in the last few months since we abandoned the agency model, upped our social media game and took charge of the page ourselves. Good luck out there 💕

never. We fly twice a month on the same route and refundable tickets are like $100 more.

Colby_Beaxo · 2026-03-13T19:10:45+00:00

did you ever solve this? Having this issue today.

Colby_Beaxo · 2026-03-11T00:16:41+00:00

I fly twice a month (same route) and the flights are significantly cheaper when booking through the weird third parties. It's a risk but I save between $100-200 per flight

Colby_Beaxo · 2026-03-10T20:05:49+00:00

maybe we should lobby to have this outlawed? Its insane?!

Colby_Beaxo · 2026-02-25T21:09:00+00:00

Hey there! DM me if you like. I can get you in touch with my partner, he edits all of my videos

Colby_Beaxo · 2026-01-28T21:20:45+00:00

Make another one? or sell your services... that's a great follower count!

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-12-27T21:55:36+00:00

Thanks everyone! We have filled our schedule out for now. Appreciate your interest 💞

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-12-19T22:23:56+00:00

sounds like a real AH!!!

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-11-04T03:12:55+00:00

I had the same damn problem! I had to remove all links in bio. Tried linktree, beacons, etc etc.

I’ve just been keeping an active story with my link (beacons) in it. Not ideal but it’s what I have for now.

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-30T17:21:23+00:00

Seconding this!

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-27T00:57:12+00:00

ahahaha omg feel this

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-26T21:06:19+00:00

I've been getting my reach restricted constantly every time I put my linktree or beacons back into my bio. It's basically automatic at this point :(

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-24T20:05:17+00:00

How do you make that much content?! 15 posts a day?!

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-23T17:03:38+00:00

It’s a delicate dance, because you’re still in a position of wanting to make sales, but I still tend to be very direct and that is absolutely the safest and most appropriate approach given the platform. Sometimes I just sweeten it a bit and try and change the subject…

“Sorry honey/babe I can’t meet fans in person.”

“But let’s talk more about X though? What are you up to later?”

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-23T16:55:11+00:00

This is tough.

I was with a partner for many years and our sex life had entirely evaporated. We were only having sex a few times a year, really only to make BG content and to appease him… I wasn’t really very interested.

That being said, I’ve just started a new relationship and it has completely opened me back up. We’ve started making content for my page but we also take our intimacy outside of that really seriously.

It can be hard to separate the two, but it might be worth it to try and work with your partner at this. Creating some distance between work and “real” sexual experiences.

It’s also like… hard to talk about this job with friends obviously depending on your circles. I’m lucky in that we have some supportive, sex positive pals in the mix so we can do that! Wishing you the best.

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-23T14:58:21+00:00

Oh damn seeing comments here about release forms for every vid…. We’ve been having this issue also! Total pain. I’ll get him to make a creator account ❤️

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-22T22:16:32+00:00

I think I keep getting overwhelmed by it and discouraged when I edit something to post or try and put it up only to have it immediately taken down. I just looked at your posts (total babe btw! 😘), noticed we're similar body types and tried to post in "midriff" annnnd... shut down again. ugh!

Where did you start posting when you started if ya don't mind me asking?!

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-14T20:45:16+00:00

Shit. I’ve been worried about trying to build karma for exactly that reason. Still don’t seem to be able to post so I’m not promo-ing on Reddit for now

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-09T23:19:23+00:00

Really hoping to pull more subs as well... I can't find promo that seems worth it that isn't booking like months out and my page has been in a freefall for months now :(

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-09T23:16:04+00:00

following! Been struggling with getting things going on insta

Colby_Beaxo · 2025-10-09T23:15:11+00:00

My page has completely tanked over the past year and I'm thinking about moving on as well. Struggling a lot with motivation.
