The 5-3-2 rule is a content mix guideline for Instagram marketing, suggesting that for every 10 posts, 5 should be curated content, 3 should be original content, and 2 should be personal or humanizing content. This rule helps balance value, credibility, and relatability to keep followers engaged without feeling sold to. The goal is to prioritize value and trust-building content over direct promotion.
