I used to fight the algorithm on Instagram by posting random stuff. Now I lean into one niche.

For years I posted whatever I felt like photos of my cats, my cleaning jobs, random memes. After seeing a friend in Dallas grow from 200 to 5,000 followers in 3 months by sticking to nothing but before and after house cleaning shots, I finally got it. Last November I deleted half my old posts and now I only post cleaning transformations. Has anyone else seen a big jump after narrowing their focus?

Did you see a drop in engagement at first when you deleted those old posts or did it bounce back pretty fast?

Crashed hard at first, like posting a vacuum shot of my own dusty soul.

That 200 to 5,000 jump in Dallas really drove it home for me too...
