Many people ask me: "How do I know if my Instagram account is really growing?" It's not just about follower count. You can have 5K followers and earn more than someone with 50K if your account is working properly. In this blog, I'll show you the two most accurate ways to measure growth.
🔍 Method 1: The Explore Page Test
- Open your Explore Page.
- Check the type of content shown.
- If your niche is quotes, you should see quotes.
- If content is random, your account isn’t optimized.
Why this matters: When Instagram understands your niche, growth becomes natural.
