By the SMMJet team · 23 June 2026 · 2 min read

You run a shop. You don't have hours for Instagram. Here's a routine that takes 30 minutes a day.

Daily (10 minutes)

  • 3–5 stories: new stock, a customer (with permission), today's offer.
  • Reply to DMs.

3× a week (15 minutes each)

  • One reel: unboxing new stock, packing an order, a quick "top 3".

Weekly (20 minutes)

  • One post with prices.
  • Update highlights.

Monthly

  • One offer or giveaway.

Look established from day one

Local customers check your page before visiting. Indian followers and Indian likes on your posts make you look like the shop people already trust.
