No fancy equipment, no complicated editing, no viral moment required. Instagram pushes trial reels to people who don’t follow you yet. That means you can try endless ideas and will never lose followers and only gain followers that like what you post. It means every single one is a chance to reach a completely new audience. Post enough of them and the numbers start moving. Unlike this reel, I don’t post about how to grow on Instagram. I post about being an Aussie nomad who left home 3 years ago living vanlife as a solo traveler, and chosing freedom over comfort. Real stories, real places, real life on the road. If that sounds like your kind of content, feel free to stick around. Either way, I hope this helps. #contentcreator #growth #foryou #fyp #solotravel”.
