The photos or videos should look very native to the platform.

2. Create Episodic Content
Episodic content is a significant way to engage more audience.
It can convert your one-time visitors to account re-visitors or permanent followers.
The episode does not need to be a 30 minutes video, but any content which would make the audience curious to know what would be the next content.
It could be a photo, an Instagram story or a short video of just 6 seconds.
3. Use Nostalgic Content
Nostalgic emotion leads to aspirations and engages most of the audience.
Throwback pictures are in trend on Instagram.
