Yo Hive! Grow my gram :)

Whatsup Hivers,

Since I’ve jumped back into running my own business, things have been moving fast. I’m working on some cool projects again, and now that I live in the city center of Enschede, I’m feeling way more inspired to get back into portrait photography.

The problem

Instagram’s algorithm is rough these days. Growing a new account without spamming 30 reels? Good luck.

Take my last reel; spent a few hours on it, got 2 comments and like 100 views. RIP. That’s partly on me for letting the platform go quiet for a while, but still… if I want to keep the lights on, I gotta be there. it's what's paying the bills :)

So here’s what I’m doing

I created a few new IG accounts for different parts of my work. One of them is focused on portrait work: @rawww.people (Instagram link) check it out, and if you like what you see, drop a follow :))

That’s the one I need to grow the most in terms of time vs ROI. And I’d love to get the Hive fam involved.

Here’s the deal, it's simple:

• 💬 Drop a sincere comment on one of my portrait posts (1 per post)
• 📸 Screenshot it
• 💰 I’ll upvote your participation

Please don't try to play the game.

What kind of content would you actually like to see?

I've been thinking of making a pipe-line for content that goes on that page.

• Behind-the-scenes content?
• Photoshop tutorials or edits?
• Something else entirely?

Let me know in the comments

I probably will make this a weekly or monthly thing.

Really appreciate the help.

Cheers,
Ruben
