So, in case you look on Instagram, everything is from a character that is called D’s voice. There is a caption always ‘signed off’ by ” D. People relate to that; they feel like they’re talking to a person, so I think that personal touch is important” she says.
Stay engaged

She opines that if you are posting more videos, you are getting featured more, so, If you reply to DMs and comments, you are flagged as an active account and get shown more on the Explore page.
Plan your feed
Vivy wants a colour-coordinated and planned way of posting content and she cares a lot about the looks of feed as first impressions are important, and you can not take them back, so making it sure that your feed is organised in a nice colour palette and looks neat is much more important.
Remain Consistent
Staying dedicated and consistent in what you do is the important thing to get ahead. In case you post once a week and don’t respond to comments, you will be counted as passive host and will not be able to go ahead with no visitors of your posts.
