    These are also known as Comment pods and are considered as small groups of few similar people like content developers, bloggers and other types of influencing personalities that work towards the common aim of reaching similar niches as well as similar audiences. The comment pod members join hands and support each other in order to increase the followers and popularity if any kind of content. Hence, they like, follow and put similar comments in support of the same content. They also share this with their peer group to gain them a huge level of popularity.

    2). How they can be used

    Instagram Pods are found highly convenient for making your content viral and popular. Pods are like invitations and the best way to use them can be making your own group because these pods are not open to any new members. You can do this with the help of forums. Basically, you should have good pod mates that can interact with your content positively. If you obey all the rules and regulations or norms, including the positive interaction between your pod mates on a positive note then your posts will surely get a high level of popularity. For example, comments containing a line of emojis or a comment that is a good, meaningful sentence and not just a few words.

    Keep the Pod Group-Small

    A small group of people with relevant field of interest as well as the audience can be a great help. Add only those users that can be a help with respect to your content and all members should be always ready to share your content with their other groups. The member who is always ready and willing to jump into other levels for popularizing your content should be the focus.

    Things to remember;

    * More is the reaction, the more will be the popularity and the more will be your organic audience.

    * Increase your reach and make a wider group of the relevant audience. An audience that is not interested in your topic is not at all useful for your group.

    * Make your group members explore as much as they can.
