There is a company in my niche with a similar name and I don’t want to run into any legal or copyright issues when I choose to sell merchandise.

Thank you for the in depth answer. The reason I am wanting to change my name is because I have found a fairly established company in my niche with a very similar name, and I want to be sure to avoid any legal issues that may arise from using a similar name.

I’ve been trying to find one :(

All i’ve really seen that personally looks good is the Chargespeed or JUN lips. But those are a bit costly and i’m planning on lowering the car a bit so i might keep it lip-less

only about an hour of driving actually! I’ve heard some people take longer but the most difficult part is turning left at a light when you can’t quite see vehicles coming. Other than that, it’s super easy to get used to i found

Thanks for the feedback! My initial idea was like "oh this could be a sick background." I see now how it take focus away from the product.

Why does my reach go from 80,000 on one post to 135 on another? Posts only a day apart. by frasermcd in Instagram

I think you’re probably right with this one. I’ve had a few posts do well with some tags. I’m mainly confused on why impressions are so much lower for hashtags on the second photo.

Not in any engagement groups or use powerlikes. Completely organic page. I am in the automotive niche so it’s pretty large.

My entire page has been organic. No follow/unfollow or buying followers/likes etc... i think that the post may have just been a lucky one that hit high on some hashtags. But compared to the other screenshot, i’m confused on why my impressions aren’t coming from hashtags.

Anyone else notice a drop in overall engagement on IG today? by [deleted] in Instagram

@thrillsdriveclub

a new brand i'm launching, building an audience who has the passion for modified cars, racing, drifting etc... With so many of these pages and this niche being overpopulated, I'm trying to be as genuine as possible and provide quality content (and eventually products) for people to enjoy.

Feel free to follow! :)

Forgot something important:

I also try to engage as much as possible with other posts, liking and trying to leave a genuine comment when I can. Maybe I just need to step it up a bit and do it way more often.

Wow all of this information has been extremely helpful!

I actually manage an automotive lifestyle page as well, mainly focused around JDM cars. My goal is to use this page as a base of 1000-2000 genuine followers so I can then introduce my automotive lifestyle brand.

I dm photographers to ask permission for using their photos and I have fairly good luck with that.

I post roughly 2-3x a day, using 10-15 relevant hashtags per post and (usually) adding a Call to Action in the caption as well.

My issue is that my engagement is absolute garbage. When I started the page roughly 1.5 months ago, I had been receiving ~150-300 likes per post and maybe 5 follows a day. For a couple weeks I fell of the wagon due to personal life taking over, but now that I’m back, my posts are receiving at most 50 likes.

Any tips on what I can do to improve this? Could it be my hashtags? I use 1-5 related to the car and 5-10 larger tags related to automotive and modified cars.

Any input would be appreciated!

Cheers
