Your visibility on this platform is dependent on the engagement you receive within that hour. This means that you need to \u2018like\u2019 and respond to comments from visitors. Your comment needs to be four words or longer for the IG algorithm to index it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of engaging on your own post, you also should spend this golden hour commenting and liking other posts that are similar to your own. This helps Instagram see that you are active and not a bot. Again, make sure that your comments are four words or more. <\/span><\/p>\n<h5><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many strategies for finding Instagram success.
