Why the Instagram Algorithm Isn't Out to Get You: Debunking Social Media Myths with Laura Jane Barnes


Listen Later

I sit down with social media and small biz expert Laura Jane Barnes (@heyitslaurajane on Instagram) to tackle the many myths and misconceptions about the Instagram algorithm that have been circulating within the creative community.

Laura clarifies the true purpose of the Instagram algorithm, how it actually works, and offers practical tips on how creative business owners can use this understanding to their advantage. We also explore how user behaviour on Instagram has evolved, why growing your follower count isn’t the most important metric, and Laura’s eye-opening experiment proving that even small accounts can achieve significant reach.
