I have a lot of followers but they don't interact with my posts. What should I do?

If followers aren’t translating into public engagement (likes, comments, shares), you need to direct your content strategy toward generating that interaction. Create content specifically asking for support—be straightforward. For example, post a reel saying “Instagram’s algorithm has been tough on me lately, so please help by liking, commenting, and sharing this post.” Directly ask your audience to perform the specific actions you want. This is a call to action focused on engagement itself. Also evaluate your follower base: if you acquired followers through paid services, they may not be genuinely interested in your content, which limits organic engagement.
