Last week I shared an Instagram carousel post of mine that received over 550 comments and reached over 6,000 people outside of my follower base. Well, it happened again, but this time I’ve managed to more than triple the reach of last week’s post! I’m honestly blown away by how well InstaChamp is working in its early stages and today I want to share with you how to get more views on Instagram for free!
Same as before, I tried to promote this new post, but the ad was unfortunately rejected by Instagram. Also same as before, I’m glad I didn’t waste a dime, because I was able to get 20,000 impressions on my post, for free:
What’s truly amazing is that of the 20K impressions, 89% were people who weren’t following me. This is unheard of reach on Instagram, but that’s not what’s most impressive about this new strategy, powered by InstaChamp.
What’s most impressive is the ability of InstaChamp to get your content in-front of potential new followers.
To put the reach of this post into perspective, my average reach outside of my follower base has been roughly 10% per post.
This post, using InstaChamp, has already generated:
- 900% increase in reach outside of my own followers.
- Nearly 50 bookmarks.
- 250 comments.
- Well above my average new follower count for the week posted.
And don’t forget about the 20,000 impressions, mostly outside of my existing follower base.
So, how is this happening with virtually every new post of mine now?
I attribute these results 100% to InstaChamp automated messaging tools and their ability to trigger Instagram’s algorithm via organic engagement.
Which brings us to the purpose of this article. That is, to get hands on with the new Instagram auto-reply tools inside of InstaChamp that are changing the way influencers, creators, and marketers everywhere grow their business on Instagram.

How to Get More Views on Instagram for Free
The Instagram post I’ve been referring to is using an InstaChamp Comment Auto-Responder, which allows you to send private automated messages to people who comment on your posts with a specific keyword, such as BOOST.
Below is the post itself. As you can see, I’ve added a call-to-action (CTA) to “Type BOOST into the comments for more details!”
I’ve included the CTA both on the post image, as well as in the post’s caption.
This is a completely new way to attach a CTA to an Instagram post. And as you can see by the 250 comments on the post, people don’t mind performing this action.
So, not only is this a new CTA to use on Instagram, it’s also what gets you more views on Instagram – engagement. Engagement is by far the #1 indicator to Instagram’s algorithm that your content is worthy of getting more views.
And we’ve found that if you ask for a simple engagement, you typically get 3 to 5 times more engagement, as well as 3 to 5 times more views, on average. Again, that’s incredible, which is why I’m sharing yet another post with hard to imagine Instagram stats attached to it.
In return, my post gets shown to more people. Furthermore, with every new comment, the amount of people outside of my own followers my post is shown to on Instagram increases.
InstaChamp has become my #1 way to not only increase engagement on Instagram, it’s now the key to successfully growing my follower count on Instagram. To get new followers, you need to reach new people. And to reach new people, you need to get engagement on your content.
Now, let’s get to how you can put the world’s first Instagram-approved automated messaging and engagement tools to work on your own account!

How to Add the InstaChamp Comment Auto-Responder to Your Instagram Posts
It’s easy to get started with InstaChamp. Here’s how in 5 easy steps:
Step #1: Create an InstaChamp account for free and connect it to your Instagram.
Step #2: Create new content to post on Instagram. If you’re looking for examples or new ideas, here are a few examples:
Step #3: Create a call-to-action for your content as well as your post’s caption.
Your call-to-action needs to ask people to comment on your post using a specific keyword, such as “BOOST” in this article’s main example.
Go ahead and comment on that post (here) to see the Instagram comment auto-responder in action!
Step #4: In InstaChamp, create a new Comment Auto-Responder that’s triggered by the keyword you chose in Step #3. For the above example, your Comment Auto-Responder could say, “Thanks for the comment! Here are the remaining 10 Auto-DM use cases!” along with a link to that content on your website.
Step #5: Post your content and watch the comments start flowing in!
Here’s an example of the experience people will have when they comment on your posts:
Additional Ways to Get More Views on Instagram Using InstaChamp
These new Instagram auto DM tools are truly special because they solve a critical problem for businesses on Instagram.
The Problem: The complete absence of reasonable CTAs to ask people to fulfill on Instagram. Right now people are more or less hoping they get a click on the link in their Instagram bio. That’s just sad. However, it’s been the only viable option…until now.
Prior to InstaChamp, the funnel on Instagram was completely broken. The best call-to-action marketers had at their disposal was “click on my bio link.” I’m sorry, but that’s just not good enough!

How to use the InstaChamp Story Mentions tool to get more views on Instagram
You can get more views on Instagram by sending an Instagram auto message to people who mention you or share your content in their Instagram Story.

Customers.ai’s Instagram Story Mentions tool gives influencers and creators the power to do exactly that!
Here’s how the Story Mentions tool works: When someone mentions your Instagram handle in their Instagram Story, Customers.ai will instantly start a conversation by sending that person an auto DM.
And not only can you thank your fans for sharing your content, but you can also send them a link to your latest promotion, discount, or relevant landing page in the same dialogue.

How to get more views on Instagram with the InstaChamp Page Welcomer
One of the most important Instagram auto DM examples are called Welcome or Greeting Messages. Welcome Messages are used to respond to Instagram users who send a Direct Message to your page’s inbox.
To set up an automatic greeting message, use Customers.ai’s Instagram Page Welcomer tool.
Here’s an example of a welcome message one client is using on their Instagram page.
Example CTA = “Send me a DM to see if I have any specials going on”
Example InstaChamp Auto-Reply:
At the bottom of the welcome message, there’s a menu of options for the user to choose from. Each option leads the user down a different path in order to direct the user to the best possible landing page.
Using a chat menu is great because Instagram users who send your page a DM can ‘choose their own journey’ by selecting from multiple topics that pique their interest. Then, at the end of each chat menu option, add a link to send Instagram traffic to your website.
The next image is a good example of the dialogue that could follow when the user chooses the “ Personal Training” option:
As you can see, the choice triggers a response with a link to sign-up for a free training webinar.
With the Instagram Page Welcomer from Customers.ai, it’s incredibly easy to nurture people down your funnel, capture email addresses, phone numbers, and other important contact information.
Test it out for yourself on the Customers.ai Instagram page by clicking the Message button, then say ”Hello”.
