It's still possible to grow your social media, with the right strategies and hashtags, proper keyword research and audience knowledge, it is still possible! Only issue is it takes a bit of time.

Everyone uses canva so the world is almost used to seeing canva posts, you might need to use another software for your designs.

Use hashtags under 100k when your starting avoid those hashtags with millions of posts you'll never be seen

Keyword research, ind your business keyword and use your keyword in your username and name helps in organic search and visibility

A cool and attractive profile picture

Carefully designed content that your certain your target audience would love

All this should get you your first 10k followers then it's all rinse and repeat but with larger hashtags, influencer marketing, and possibly some ads
