Back

Let's face it: a dormant Instagram account feels like a barren cultivated farm land and it is frustrating.


In 2024, our clients at Mediabare, the best  SMM panel in Nigeria, flooded us with a single plea: "How do we bring our accounts back to life?" They tried everything, from simply continuing to post everyday to wondering if a total account deletion and restart was the only answer. (Spoiler: it's not.)


After extensive trials, we cracked the code. This isn't just theory; it's a proven solution, backed by over 200,000 sales of our "Revive Your Dormant Instagram Account" package in just 20 months. Forget the guesswork and endless scrolling through "quick fixes." This article lays out the definitive Mediabare approach. Read on, and get ready to roll up your sleeves. Your account's revival starts now.

What Exactly Is a Dormant Instagram Account?

One of our clients, @momoduakilade_writes, articulated the frustration perfectly:

"I have 86 followers, I have not been able to get the numbers above that in a long time. Now, when I post, I obsessively check for likes or comments, only to be met with... disappointment. My content isn't even reaching 20 people! I've tried all the 'best times to post' – morning, late afternoon – still nothing. It's like account is just frozen." 😩

You've got a dormant account if you're experiencing:

  • Low Reach
  • One or two Likes
  • No Comments
  • Zero Shares/Saves
  • Stagnant Follower Growth
  • Dwindling Story Views


What You've Probably Heard… 🙄


You've likely scrolled past "expert" advice telling you to:

  • Post every single day.
  • Employ "follower-gaining tactics" like the"follow-for-follow" scheme.
  • Obsessively monitor your Insights and tweak your strategy regularly.

Here's why this well-intentioned advice might not work for you:

  • Burnout is Inevitable
  • The pressure to constantly churn out content directly kills quality.
  • Quality potential followers will scroll right past your posts because the likes and comments are low (yes, it happens)
  • Your post will not trigger the Instagram algorithm to push your post to new people.
  • You will probably feel frustrated in the long run

The Mediabare Approach


For every account we’ve touched, this strategy has been the undisputed path to revival. Apply these steps, and watch your dormant Instagram come back to life, faster than you can say "viral."


1. Consistent Quality Posting 🌟


This isn't about posting just anything; it's about posting the right thing, consistently.


A. Research Your Target Audience: Who Are You Talking To? 🕵️‍♀️

Stop guessing what your audience wants. Seriously, stop. Research what they're actually searching for. What content makes them pause their scroll? Consider their location, their pain points, their desires, even their budget.


For example, @unikempirespaofficial, a spa in Edo State, uncovered crucial insights about her potential clients:

  • They sought a LUXURY spa experience in Benin. 💅
  • They craved transparency: they wanted to see her services AND their prices. 💰
  • They loved funny staff videos, client reception moments, and dramatic before-and-after transformations of treatments. 😂

Your turn. Grab a notebook, or open a document. Write down exactly what you find about your audience. No vague ideas allowed.


B. Optimize Your Bio 📜

Your Instagram bio is prime real estate. Make it crystal clear what you offer and who you help. Don't make people guess.

Using the @unikempirespaofficial example, here’s how she optimized her bio:

  • Problem-Solver/Value Proposition: Instead of "Spa Services," she stated, "Your Ultimate Destination for Luxury Relaxation in Benin City." It screams value. ✨
  • Location Specificity: She included "Edo State" and "Benin City" directly, targeting local searches. 📍
  • Clear Call-to-Action (CTA): A direct link to her booking page or WhatsApp was front and center. "Book Your Escape Today!" ➡️l

Now, apply that precision to your own bio.


C. Craft a Sustainable Content Schedule 🗓️

Posting when you feel like it, is a recipe for a dead account. Start with a frequency you can comfortably maintain, then scale up as you get into a rhythm.

@unikempirespaofficial mastered this. She implemented:

  • Taking before and after picture of the clients’ treatments
  • Mondays and Wednesdays were less busy days and so she scheduled it for funny staff videos.
  • she designated a staff member to record client arrivals (with consent, of course!).
  • Professional Editing: Crucially, she outsourced editing. This ensured high-quality output without her personal stress.

This systematic approach meant she had a steady stream of engaging content, ready to go, without feeling overwhelmed. Find a rhythm.


D. Master Captions & Hashtags:🗣️

Your captions aren't just descriptions; they're conversion tools. Your hashtags are not for fancy; they're search signals.

@unikempirespaofficial knew this. Instead of a generic "Feel the wonder of spa. #explore #fyp," she made it intentional:

"Unikempirespaofficial: Your #1 Luxury Spa in Benin for Ultimate Relaxation. Transform your week with our exclusive facial treatments! #SpaInBenin #LuxurySpaBenin #BankersOfBenin (targeting her ideal clientele) #Facials #FacialsInBenin"

  • Keyword-Rich Captions: Naturally weave in terms your potential audience would search for. Think like them.
  • Strategic Hashtag Mix: Blend broad, popular hashtags with highly niche, specific ones. Include local tags, industry tags, and even tags for your ideal customer segments. Don't just dump; curate.

E. Dominate Your Instagram Stories: The Daily Habit 🤳

Stories are your casual, everyday touchpoints with your audience. Use them to keep your audience engaged and returning daily.

  • Consistent Updates: Share behind-the-scenes, daily operations, or quick tips.
  • Reshare, Reshare, Reshare: Share relevant, funny, or insightful content from other accounts (always with credit! No copyright issues here. 😉). This provides value beyond your own content creation.
  • Build Anticipation: Give your audience a reason to check your Stories every single day. Make it a habit for them by posting everyda

2. Initial Social Proof ✅


Let us let you in on a secret: Instagram's algorithm favors what's already working. If a post has engagement, it assumes people like it, and it pushes it to more users. Simple. Humans are also wired this way; we trust what others deem valuable. An account with zero likes and comments? Immediate red flag even if you are genuinely just starting out.


Initial social proof is that crucial first wave of engagement that tells both the algorithm and potential followers, "Hey, this content is worth seeing!" It's the spark that ignites visibility.

This is precisely where Mediabare's "Revive Your Dormant Instagram Account" package comes in. For just ₦6,000, you get on your post.:

  • 1,000 Followers 🤝
  • 2,000 Likes ❤️‍🔥
  • 2,000 Views 👀
  • 3,000 Accounts Reached 🚀

We recommend you get this package for your content immediately you post. This is to trigger the algorithm to push the content to more people and also encourage anyone who sees your post to engage with it.

Imagine, Your content, instantly boasting these numbers. Suddenly, your posts don't look like they're boring. More people perceive you as credible, relevant, and engaging. That initial push encourages real likes, real comments, and real followers to jump on board. Get your Revive package now.

3. Engage Aggressively


This isn't optional. It's the final, non-negotiable step in our strategy. You must actively engage with other creators and individuals. And we don't  mean passively scrolling through Instagram, we are talking of proactive networking.

  • Dedicate Time Daily: Start with 40 minutes. Seriously, block out the time everyday. You can adjust the duration as you begin to see results. ⏰
  • Comment Strategically: Don't just drop a "Wow." That's lazy. Craft thoughtful, positive, and genuinely engaging comments on other people's posts. Add value. Ask questions. Make them curious enough to click your profile. This is your primary lead generator for new, organic followers. 💬
  • Share With Credit: See something great on IG? Share it to your Stories! But always, always tag the original creator. It prevents copyright headaches and builds goodwill. ♻️
  • Respond Promptly: Get a DM? A comment? Respond. Fast. This encourages more conversation, signals activity to the algorithm, and builds community. Silence is a conversation killer. 🗣️
  • Utilize Interactive Story Tools: Stories are a very great way to get rapid engagement :


Polls: "Should we add a new service?" Get instant opinions. 📊

Quizzes: Test your audience's knowledge related to your niche. ❓

Question Boxes: "Ask me anything about [your niche]." Get direct content ideas. ✍️

Emoji Sliders: Get quick sentiment on a new product or idea. 🤩

Link Stickers: Drive traffic directly to your website or latest offer. 🔗

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are a few questions that you may be asking regarding your Instagram Account. We have ensured to properly answer each one such that you can be very clear on what steps to take next.

Generally, no. Your account won't be flagged simply because you boosted your numbers. However, a misuse of it can flag your account. That's why quality is key. We cover this extensively in our dedicated post on the topic. Read it. Seriously.

With the full Mediabare Approach, including our Revive Package, you'll see immediate shifts. That initial burst of social proof is powerful. Think of it as jump-starting a dead battery. But remember, sustained, organic growth still takes consistent effort. Don't expect to be an overnight sensation without putting in the work.

Your phone brand doesn't dictate your content quality. Period. Many incredible creators use Android devices. Here’s how you can still produce stunning content:

  • Master Natural Lighting: The best "equipment" is often free. Shoot near a window or outdoors during the day. Good light trumps expensive gear every time. ☀️
  • Utilize Free Editing Apps: you can use CapCut for video.  They're powerful, intuitive, and readily available for both Android and iOS. No excuses. 🎨
  • Focus on Storytelling: Compelling narratives, clear value, and authentic personality resonate far more than pixel perfection. Connect with your audience on a human level. They don't care about your phone's brand; they care about your message. ✍️

Clean Your Lens: Seriously. It sounds basic, but a smudged phone camera lens is the culprit behind more blurry photos than you'd imagine. Wipe it down! 🧼

Not in isolation. Posting daily without strategy is  exhausting and pointless. If you can comfortably maintain daily quality posting in conjunction with our other two strategies (initial social proof and aggressive engagement), then yes, your account will spring to life rapidly. It's the full package, not just one piece.

Simple. Go back to "Research Your Target Audience." What questions do they ask? What problems do they need solving? What motivates them? Your captions should address these directly. Think of your caption as a conversation with your ideal follower. Provide value, ask questions, tell a story, or offer a solution. Always have a purpose.

Likely, not enough eyes are seeing your content – your reach is low. Refer back to the symptoms of a dormant account. Also, brutally assess your content's quality. Is it truly engaging? Is it well-lit, clear, and relevant to your audience? Low quality content, no matter how much reach it gets, won't garner likes. Be honest with yourself.

This is crucial. Simply giving credit isn't enough to bypass copyright. To be safe, always:

  • Tag and Credit: If permission is granted, always tag their account in the photo/video and credit them clearly in your caption (e.g., "Content by @OriginalCreator"). It's good practice and often a requirement.
  • Use Repost Apps (with permission)
  • When in doubt, don't share it
  • Ask for Permission

Before You Go...

So, there you have it. The secret is a calculated, three-pronged attack.

We've covered the crucial steps:

  1. Consistent Quality Posting: Research your audience, refine your bio, schedule your content like a pro, and use captions and hashtags strategically. Your content must be valuable.
  2. Initial Social Proof: Kickstart your account with that vital early engagement. The algorithm and potential followers notice traction, not stagnation.
  3. Aggressive Engagement: Don't be a ghost. Proactively interact with others, comment thoughtfully, share relevant content, and respond to every message. Build real connections.

Your dormant Instagram account doesn't have to stay that way. It's time to stop lamenting your low numbers and start implementing a strategy that works.
