Why do I have low engagement with only 25 followers?

With only 25 followers, having just two people engage with your content is actually normal and proportional. The real indicator of success is that you’re getting 200-500 views on reels with that small follower count—that’s actually an excellent conversion and shows your content is reaching well beyond your follower base. That 95% of your views come from non-followers is great news; it means the algorithm is pushing your content out. At this early stage, focus on creating quality reels and following growth strategies rather than worrying about engagement numbers. As your follower count grows organically, your engagement will naturally increase proportionally. You’re doing well for where you are in the journey.
