I’ve been there! I run a little handmade jewelry page and hit that same wall around 1.5K followers. What helped me wasn’t more ads but switching up how I posted — sharing behind-the-scenes stuff, short process clips, and asking questions in captions so people actually commented. Also started engaging more in niche communities instead of random hashtags. It’s slower than ads, but the followers stick around and actually buy, which feels way more real.
