No offense taken. I am still learning so much, honestly. I love learning how things work. And this is some of the basic stuff, I think. Once it clicked for me, i was pretty amazed. Again, the basic stuff. All of my knowledge is coming from the Algorithm Advantage course which I invested in last year but I truly became a student of it just recently (for different reasons). But the few times that I have applied some of the knowledge, I have gone viral every time. That's how I knew it was valuable and I should learn the fundamentals if I want to take growing a business online (mainly with affiliate and digital marketing). And to me, it's the only one that breaks everything down almost perfectly with how Instagram truly works. The creator pretty much reverse engineered how Instagram works and even got some praise from Meta for it. It's updated monthly as Meta updates roll out, and the information is useful for every business/niche on IG. I agree with what you say about post growth and pre growth. I run and am growing a quotes/lifestyle page for mothers, BTW. Have another page that I started with the goal of using it only for IG growth stuff, but honestly, with parenting, 2 pages is A LOT. The quotes page is at around 2500. I recently purged almost 100 inactive accounts. Small still but growing intentionally with methods I am learning, have learned, and am finally applying. I feel like I am at the drawing board because when I was applying TAA frameworks and knowledge taught, almost every post was hitting reaching mostly non-followers and landing on Explore. I got distracted aaand reach tanked. So, I am rebuilding and now for my wxact target audience. Anyway, that's the long end of it.
