2 MILLION MILESTONE ON INSTAGRAM
I am overjoyed to share the incredible news that our Instagram community has reached a momentous milestone of 2 million followers! 🌟I am grateful to the audience, friends, and family that helped make this amazing accomplishment possible. Your participation, feedback, and love for my food creations motivate me daily. This accomplishment demonstrates the strength of our common passion and our shared love of delicious food in uniting us.
Here are 5 things that were essential in this journey:
1️⃣ Authenticity:
Staying true to my culinary style and personal brand has been the cornerstone of this journey. Authenticity resonates with the audience, creating a connection that extends beyond just food—it's about sharing experiences and creating memories together.For me, it would be my eggless baking recipes for the Indian families that do not prefer eggs as an audience that blends perfectly with my niche and represents my authenticity.
2️⃣ Consistency:
Consistency in content creation, posting schedule, and engagement has been pivotal in building a dedicated community for my Instagram. Personally, I like creating a monthly calendar for all the social media platforms and pre-planning dedicated schedules as per the days of the week for different content formats.
3️⃣ Food Trends:
Keeping up with food trends while adding my unique twist has proven to be working for me.
Experimenting with popular themes and challenges allows me to stay relevant and capture the interest of a broader audience at the same time. For instance, we baked a Chikki Brownie last Diwali or discovering the trending recipes on social media and trying them in my #TestedbyShivesh series has done well for me and garnered the audience's attention.
4️⃣ Supportive Community:
Engaging with followers, responding to their comments for the first half an hour of every new post, and creating a sense of community has been fundamental. A supportive and interactive audience not only enhances the overall experience but also attracts new followers through positive word-of-mouth.
5️⃣ Collaborations:
Collaborating with fellow food creators, and brands that align with my niche or challenge me to step outside my comfort zone to bring together the idea of baking and lifestyle or travel or fashion has been an enriching experience so far. These partnerships bring fresh perspectives, diverse audiences, and unique opportunities that contribute to the growth of my community.
👥 A Special Shout Out - I owe a significant part of this success to my incredible team who works tirelessly behind the scenes. Their dedication, creativity, and passion have been instrumental. Additionally, a heartfelt thank you to my family, who has been through every step of this journey, offering unwavering support and encouragement.
