Engagement Analysis

Based on 12 recent posts

Platform Context

@ashraymondjames ranks 1666 out of 2265 because its engagement rate sits below the tracked median. This lower position means the account generates less interaction per follower than most creators in the dataset. The performance falls short of the average standard for the category.

The engagement rate of 0.59% falls well below the 1.60% median, ranking 1666 out of 2265. This indicates that the audience reacts much less than the average user on the platform. Video content earns more appreciation with 60 likes per post compared to 43 likes for photos. This preference suggests the audience rewards motion over static imagery. Reliability is low because only 8.3% of posts doubled the account average. No content reached five times the typical engagement level. These figures suggest a lack of consistent reach beyond the immediate follower base. The data confirms a tap-and-scroll audience.

Content Analysis

Hashtags, keywords, captions, and top posts

The standout post earned over double the median engagement of other posts on this page. This peak performance occurred on a Saturday at noon and maintained an impressive comment to like ratio. Long captions are your primary lever for engagement as they earn 63 likes on average. Medium length captions perform poorly with only 33 likes, suggesting that readers prefer deep dives over shorter snippets. Use the recurring hashtags like #poetrycommunity and #poetryaotearoa to signal specific themes to your audience. Your current posting cadence of less than one post per week suggests a strategy focused on quality over frequency. Because average engagement is modest, focus on maintaining this steady volume to build a loyal community rather than seeking rapid growth. This account currently has 9.3K followers.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

When @ashraymondjames posts on Instagram

@ashraymondjames maintains a steady grind with content landing roughly every few days. This frequency places the creator above the median of 0.5 posts per week and ranks them in the top half of their peer group. The consistency score is 0, which indicates an erratic rhythm rather than a clockwork schedule. While the account produces content more often than many others, the gaps between posts are unpredictable. Content lands most frequently on Monday and Friday. New posts typically appear at 12:00 UTC. Marketers should expect fresh content to surface regularly but cannot rely on a specific daily cycle for timing. The erratic consistency means you should plan your campaign around the actual appearance of new content rather than predicting exactly when it will drop. You can count on more frequent updates than average, yet the lack of a stable pattern requires a flexible approach to coordination.

Who This Audience Is

What @ashraymondjames's reach and engagement mean for a brand.

The verified status in the Art category confirms this creator operates within a professional creative space despite the small scale of the following. The follower count is well below the median for tracked creators, indicating an audience that does not reach broadcast levels. Engagement rates fall below the platform average by more than half. This suggests that brand messages may land with less impact compared to typical accounts in this niche. While the verified badge provides a layer of credibility, the low interaction rate means the content does not generate high and consistent participation from the viewers. The small audience size and lower engagement mean this profile fits only specific boutique art projects or local creative initiatives.

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and engagement

Sponsored posts for this creator fall within the $0 to $0 range based on their follower count.
