Kanishka Gupta | AI x Finance's InstagramEngagement

Details

Carousels outperform static images in industry benchmarks and reward save-and-swipe behavior — directly inflating their engagement count beyond likes and comments. Given their like/comment ratio of 6.1:1 and median comments of 79.5, carousels with multi-step finance breakdowns (e.g., '5 slides to understand their tax bracket') can drive more comment-worthy moments per post and push their ER above that 2.5% threshold.

Since 73% of brands prioritize engagement rate over follower count, boosting comments directly strengthens their pitch to brand partners. End every caption with a single, specific finance question tied to the post content (e.g., 'What\'s one money habit they started this year?') to convert passive likers into active commenters and improve their overall 2.39% ER.

Kanishka Gupta | AI x Finance's estimated brand deal value of $250–$1,000 per post can also increase, since Reels command a 20–40% premium over standard feed post rates. Posting at least one Reel per week using their existing finance content (e.g., a 30-second 'money myth debunked' format) gives the algorithm a reach signal while justifying higher rates with brand partners.
