It’s tough out there in the world of social media. If you have an Instagram account, you've probably thought more than once about throwing it in the bin and just starting all over. You’ve also probably seen people shouting about how old accounts are dead and that you actually can get crazy growth if you start from scratch. 

Yep, we’ve felt and heard it all too. So, you know what? We decided to give it a go! 

Now, the idea of leaving behind our previous Instagram account of 24,000 followers was scary. And how would it look on the brand to have a new account with zero followers? But something had to be done. We had lost a whole lot of engagement on our previous account due to a rebrand, and were desperate to revive things.  

So, we took the plunge and decided to make 2024 the year of trying things out to see what would happen. Today, I'm going to break down exactly what we did, how it's going and our takeaways after 30 days of starting our Instagram account completely from scratch. 

I’ll take you through our strategy of 90 days of Reels, the surprising increase in reach we’ve seen after 30 days, and the tactics we’ll be turning to next.

As we continue on this interesting path of growing our new Instagram account from zero, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop of what is and isn’t working. And of course, if you want to be one of our first 200 followers, then head on over to @hellofunnels.co and check out what we’re doing!
