Why are brands finding it harder to succeed on Instagram?

Did you plainly assume these digital brands failed to break through on IG? Or do you have stats or something?

If the plan was to succeed with Instagram or don't succeed at all then that was a bad plan from the start. They failed before they started.

As far as your question " How do you create a community and monetize it by losing as little money as possible in advertising?"

The goal should not be to lose as little money as possible. The goal should be to profit from the advertising and tweaking until that happens. But in the beginning maybe you can look at it as spending as little as possible until you are in profit . I think hat sounds better than lose as little as possible

You don't have to fail with Instagram though .setting a realistic timeline for free traffic is important if that is the route you want to take. You either pay for advertising and tweak until you become profitable through trial and error or you give yourself a few years to have the snowball effect of free marketing.

That takes time and patience.

Having a well thought out business plan would help. It cannot be left to chance or coincidence. There is so much involved.

Indeed ! Little money as possible till you have prove that people like your product..

I think it's would depends upon the nature of business targeting over the Instagram not every business can take advantage from it .

Time and consistency is the key here. You can't be in a rush to build a brand. If you continue to create engaging content, post regularly, and learn from you're target audience, you'll create the community/organic traffic you want. You'll spend less money, but the trade off is you'll have to put in more time.

I think the first thing brands have to ask themselves before they jump into Instagram is to check whether or not their audience is actually on Instagram and what that audience uses Instagram for. If your audience isn't there or you're not sure if IG can influence your target market's purchase decisions, I don't see the point in creating an account.

Post relevant or quality pictures or videos. you should use proper hashtags with them that relate to your business so your audience can reach your content easily.

Which is the primary objective of growth hacking?

Well, as IG is images based social media app, & the audience loves to follow unique, catchy & well-developed content which can attract them. Well-researched and humorous content always gets the audience's attention.
Business doesn't need to post simple product or service posts just for marketing purposes but they should be linked to society and social life & share content which link the company with society.

HD images, well developed social media resources like media, videos, etc are more important.

Slowly everything is changing in advertising the product or service, because before in 2010 many top brands doesn't took social media promotion seriously, they thought it will be useful to only for small businesses to promote their product but now people started engaged in social media platforms like FB, Insta, Twitter more than any others. So now popular brands also started investing on social media platform to promote.

Instagram is an exquisite platform to market your brand and succeed in your chosen niche market. Every entrepreneur need to continue to improve on the products or services to grow their business and work more on making the brand (product or services) sustainable by also advertising the brand.

I find using Growth Hacking solutions like Conversational AI helps mitigate growth limits. Tried one last week and our client's account grew by 3x in 5 days.

Have you tried growing your audience on some other platforms like TikTok?
It is much easier to get attention there and if you go viral in any sense you can tell your TikTok Audience to follow you on Instagram.

Why i think a lot of brands and indvidual sole traders or affiliate marketers anyone that has some type of online business are not succeeding it just seems to me everyone is doing the exact same thing.

They post their image or content on instagram hoping to make a quick sale, the keyword hoping they can they method that works is standing out from among the crowd and giving some sort of value to any customer u might get.

i believe when you do this they think that you care and when you get to know your customer you will find out what their real needs are, so in time when you promote a product its not just a pitch they feel thats something they think i need and will really help me, so the real answer everyone is doing the same thing and it dosent work and giving value does.
