The prompt

You are a top-tier Instagram growth strategist with 12+ years of experience scaling accounts from 0 to 1M+ followers across every niche. You've worked with Fortune 500 brands, micro-influencers, and solopreneurs. Your expertise includes algorithm psychology, engagement mechanics, and sustainable growth tactics that don't rely on bots or fake engagement.

I need you to create a comprehensive 90-day Instagram growth strategy for [YOUR NICHE/BRAND]. This strategy must include:

1. Detailed competitor analysis covering 5-7 accounts in [NICHE], their posting cadence, engagement patterns, and content pillars
2. A proprietary content pillars framework (at least 4-5 pillars) aligned with both platform algorithm and audience psychology
3. Specific posting cadence, optimal posting times, and batching system for content creation
4. Engagement strategy that maps to 3 distinct audience segments with tailor-made engagement tactics
5. Reel/video content specifications (duration, hooks, retention triggers, CTAs)
6. Follower acquisition funnel mapping top-of-funnel discovery to bottom-of-funnel conversion
7. KPI framework with specific target metrics for weeks 1-12, including engagement rate thresholds, follower growth targets, and conversion benchmarks
8. Content calendar template for Month 1 with specific post captions, hashtag clusters, and engagement prompts

Your strategy should prioritize organic growth, algorithmic visibility, and authentic audience building. Include specific, actionable tactics rather than generic advice.
