A good way to find success on Instagram is to engage with other poets, beyond liking posts.

Commenting on Instagram posts adds a touch of personality to your profile. It also makes you seem more human. People are more likely to engage with your poems if you are engaging with theirs. And this isn’t because they feel they owe you one; it’s quite often because it’s a better way of getting noticed.

And remember, it’s not a numbers game. 100 comments consisting of general compliments or emojis will get you nowhere. These kind of comments are more likely to go unnoticed. Three specific, relevant, and constructive comments a day is all it takes. Make someone’s day and they’ll never forget you.
