22.01.2022 What will happen if Instagram Likes disappear? In Australia and Canada, Instagram is in the midst of trialling the removal of Likes on posts, in a move that will largely impact the influencer community. While this removes competition and some stresses for influencers to generate likes, it makes it more difficult for them to generate profit off their posts, as companies cannot see the reach each post gets they can only decide from the amount of followers. This however, means good news for Instagram as businesses may choose to advertise directly on Instagram as opposed to using influencer marketing.

Depending on your brand and audience quick how-tos or videos that share your brands story are both effective methods in engaging your audience and guiding them to a marketing funnel or call to action.
