Instagram Engagement Groups

Instagram engagement/DM groups or ‘pods’ are a place where like minded Instagram users can share their posts with each other through a group chat to increase their engagement.

The concept is simple: Share your post link to the group, then engage with the most recent posts in the group.

The most popular groups are found in Telegram, they contain thousands & thousands of users and have strict rules, leaching bot detectors and tools to make engaging easier. This way everybody plays fair and gives back as much engagement as they intend on receiving.

However, many of these telegram groups lose their authenticity. Rather than being a place to genuinely network with like minded IG users, it just becomes a systematic way to get more likes and comments from random users.

We have created a separate list for these massive telegram engagement networks if you want to try them, but in this list below you’ll only find smaller niche groups for making real connections with other relevant Instagram users and Influencers.

We highly recommend using the groups below and other groups alike to make real connections instead of joining massive groups.

If you are going to use Instagram DM groups effectively, it’s important to not do to much over a short period of time and consider your action limitations on Instagram.

With these smaller groups your effort will be recognised! Write genuine engaging comment, not just a bunch of emojis.

Whilst you are engaging back with these users, you are likely to find pages that genuinely capture your interest or closely align with the niche of your own page. Take the opportunity to follow these pages and send them a DM, especially if they are bigger verified users. Remember, these groups are all about networking and making genuine connections!

Final tip: Get yourself verified with Instagram Meta Verification if you haven’t already, this enhanced social proof will encourage other users in the network to follow you back.

Considering the limitations of Instagram engagement groups, it’s important to only use the best groups that will be most effective for your page. Thats why we recommend the groups we’ve listed below instead of massive Telegram networks.

We’ve done our research and we’ve compiled a list of the highest quality public and private niche targeted influencer groups. Some have stricter access than others so choose the best groups that you are eligible for.

Important: Only use a few of the best / most relevant groups at a time for each post you upload. Don’t always use the same groups, mix it up every now and then.

Instagram PowerLikes are a better alternative to engagement pods. We recommend that you combine the use of our USA based PowerLikes network with the groups listed below.

The great thing about PowerLikes is that you don’t need to do anything other than sign up to one of our PowerLikes services and you can get a lot more engagement per post than you can with engagement groups! (No engagement is required from your page, we never ask for your password).

The combination of PowerLikes and niche targeted pod groups is the ultimate solution to breaking the Instagram Algorithm!
