No matter how fervently we beg them, Instagram refuses to budge on their stance of NOT reverting to the chronological news feed. The algorithm is here to stay, folks, and there's nothing we can do about it.

You could swear off the platform altogether (we know you can't, let's be honest here), or just embrace it for what it is and abide by the rules of the Insta game. 

Should you choose the latter, you'll find the five tools and courses below that are useful for getting the most out of the social media platform for work and play. Oh, and all of them are on sale, too — you're welcome.

When you're a business owner trying to balance a million different responsibilities, you probably don't have the extra bandwidth to squeeze in social media management. With PostFly, you can automate liking, commenting, and posting content, so you have one less task to think about. It allows you to schedule unlimited posts with the intuitive drag and drop tool, follow users within your target audience, and auto-like content that is relevant to your interests. You can also use it to automate re-posting content based on predetermined filters.

Grab a lifetime subscription today for $39 — 96% off the usual cost of $1,080.

You may have mastered the art of creating the most likable Instagram post, but how about building a follow-worthy brand? In this course targeted to entrepreneurs, you'll learn the secret sauce to accruing thousands of new followers. You'll get to grips with the different strategies for building a strong brand, as well as explore tested and proven techniques for monetizing your flourishing Instagram activity.

Typically $195, you can get the course on sale today for a measly $10.

Few things are more disappointing than getting meager likes on a post you worked so hard fabricating. You chose the perfect filter, crafted a witty caption, and curated the relevant hashtags, but your followers aren't impressed. If you use Savvant, though, not only will you get the engagement you deserve, you'll also be supplied with creative insights that will help you elevate your Instagram game. Specially engineered to enhance your creativity, it will help you pick the best imagery to post, write the most engaging accompanying copy, and choose the most effective hashtags, filters, and keywords. Brands that have used Savvant in the past — Sony, AOL, and Compassion International, among others — have increased their engagement by up to five times.

And now you can, too, with a lifetime subscription to Savvant that's currently on sale for $39.99 — 97% marked down the usual cost of $1740.

Hear ye, hear ye, social media managers! Planagram is the ultimate Instagram tool that would make your job less hectic (and by extension, make you more sane). It lets you schedule posts, galleries, and stories in advance and publishes them on the date and time you want them to be seen. You can schedule up to 10 images at once, and you can rest assured that your posts stay secure since everything passes through Instagram's API.

Snag a Planagram lifetime subscription today for $49.99 — 98% off the usual price.

You don't need a cute dog to flaunt to amass a huge following on Instagram. All you need is this master class, which will hand you tricks for growing your following from 0 to 40,000 in as little as four months. It covers everything about gaming the system, from developing a content strategy to implementing top post targeted hashtags to designing a full-blown content production system. Whether you're a total IG noob or a self-professed Instaddict, this course could turn you into the influencer you've always (secretly) wanted to be.

Get the course on sale today for $11.99 — 94% off the typical retail cost of $199.99.
