What to Post on Instagram – Jumpstart Challenge

It’s a fact – posting to Instagram every day is good for growth. According to a Tailwind original study, those who post to Instagram every day not only see 13 times as many likes, they also see a 42% bump in follower rate as compared to those who post less than once a week. And yet, even with those incredible stats, only 5% of those we studied were posting at least once per day!

Still, if you’ve ever tried to develop a strong Instagram strategy, you know coming up with content every day is challenging to say the least.  We hear it again and again – “I don’t know what to post to Instagram, I just don’t have enough content!”

With this in mind, we created the Jumpstart challenge to encourage Instagrammers to get into the habit of posting to Instagram once a day with the help of daily prompts.  

Instagram marketers who have participated in our 30 day challenges in the past have seen amazing results. In total, past participants have earned 300,179 total likes and grew by 24,470 followers – an average follower growth rate of 33% in one month! This is especially impressive considering that the average Instagram follower count grows by just 6-8% month over month, according to MarketingProfs.

The Instagram Jumpstart Challenge includes a 5-day email boot camp to get your Instagram Profile in tip-top shape, then 30 days of content ideas for the coming weeks. Weekly emails for the duration will keep you inspired and help you save time. By the end of the 30 days, you will have developed healthy Instagram habits and will see the benefits of your efforts!

Interested in seeing what kinds of things you’ll be posting? We’ve included the first week of content ideas below! For 30 days you’ll know exactly what to post to Instagram – you’ll have a plan.
