Engagement Analysis

Based on 12 recent posts

Platform Context

@toss_and_catch ranks 275 out of 1466 accounts because its 4.38% engagement rate sits well above the 1.25% median. This high performance indicates that followers interact with content much more frequently than the average user on the platform. Such a gap confirms a highly active audience relative to the broader corpus.

The engagement rate of 4.38% outperforms the 1.25% median to rank 275 out of 1466, proving this audience reacts much more than usual. While average likes sit at 756, the data reveals a clear preference for motion over still images. The single video captured 3.6K likes compared to the 494 likes averaged by the eleven photos. This split confirms that followers reward dynamic content with higher levels of interaction. Reliability of reach remains low because only 8.3% of recent posts doubled the average engagement. No posts reached the five times average threshold, suggesting that while the core base is loyal, consistent breakout growth is rare. The presence of 28 comments per post indicates a community willing to engage in conversation rather than just passive viewing. This is an active audience.

The standout post achieved a multiplier of 7.1 over the median like count for this account. It maintained a low like to comment ratio of 175 to 1.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

When @toss_and_catch posts on Instagram

This creator follows a sparse high-effort pace. The frequency is well below the median of 0.7 posts per week. This low volume places them at rank 1486 out of 1606 based on posting consistency. Their consistency score of 0 indicates an erratic schedule with no predictable pattern between updates. Content appears sporadically rather than following a routine. You can expect fresh content to land primarily on Wednesday and Thursday. The most frequent upload window occurs at 19:00 UTC. Because the cadence is so irregular, you cannot rely on a regular cycle for your campaign. Marketers should plan around specific manual placements rather than expecting a steady flow of organic content. A tie-in must be timed against their specific production schedule as they do not maintain a predictable posting rhythm.

Who This Audience Is

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

The audience size is well below the typical creator average and does not reach broadcast scale. While the follower count is modest, the verified status indicates a recognized presence within its niche despite the small footprint. Engagement rates are nearly four times higher than the median, meaning brand messages land much harder here than on average accounts. This high interaction rate relative to size suggests a concentrated group rather than a broad, passive one. The lack of a defined category means the audience profile is not officially segmented by platform tools. Because the engagement data outperforms the standard metric so clearly, the content reaches a specific, active pocket of users. This audience fits the fishing and outdoor sports category.

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and engagement

Sponsored posts drive the primary revenue stream for this creator with a quoted range of $178 to $357. Because they rank below the median, the top end of that band serves as a ceiling rather than a standard starting point. They are a value buy for brands seeking high involvement at a lower cost. The 4.38% engagement rate is more than triple the 1.25% average, making this price range a fair trade for the reach provided. These are modelled estimates from public metrics, not disclosed earnings.
