OF girl Need help gaining engagement with reels

[Cornell Green]

Here’s an to my last post, so I started posting reels. They’re pretty much thirst traps, dance videos, etc. typical OF girl behavior. But I still seem to not reach the audience I’d like — I only reach my following. I’ve been using hashtags as some recommended but still, nothing has changed it seems. I’ve checked both my pages and both are in good standing with instagram.
So I have some questions

Should I continue using hashtags? If so, which ones.
(I’m a black, curvy / bbw creator — my audience is mainly white men, black men, and also Hispanic men, some of my post / stores are in Spanish)

Should I continue using trending sounds, and if so, which ones? The ones with more reels or less popular but still trendy

Should I continue posting dance videos or should I switch it up with some silly ones?

Thanks for reading.

I think you need to gain some visibility to reach more people. If you have some budget, purchase shoutouts from popular pages. Babes or adult niche doesn't cost much for shoutouts (in comparison to niches like fashion and weight loss). If you don't have any budget, then you can attract people from apps like snapchat and kik. But keep in mind that it takes a lot of time to manually grow followers through chatting/dating apps. A shoutout from 100k followers page could instantly get you 3k-5k followers (depends on active members and interests).

I’ve bought promos in the past, some were effective so may buy some like you recommended! Do you have any recommendations for babe / adult pages I can purchase from, I was considering maybe Victoria cakes or someone known keep in mind my body type haha

I'm not following adult niches, so I don't know the current trends and influencers. Pages with millions of followers are over-crowded and it's difficult to standout. They also charge a lot, so I'd recommend doing some research to find small-medium pages within 30k-100k followers range (+high user engagement) and offer them money to promote your reels (preferably for a week or more). Once you gain 10k-20k followers, you can start cross-promotion with similar models. I think people in adult niches understand the strategies better and can give better tips. The top models hire managers to do all this stuff, but at the beginning, you have to do all this heavy lifting yourself.
