3 IG Hacks: Reels Edition

HACK 1: Include Captions 

There’s no secret that creating video content, whether for Instagram Stories or Instagram Reels, is one of the best ways to make your content more accessible.

Believe it or not, most content is watched without sound, so adding subtitles to your videos is a no-brainer when it comes to reaching more users!

Plus, not only are subtitles great for people who watch without sound, but they’re invaluable for those with hearing difficulties!

TIP: To add video subtitles, manually type your audio in text boxes and show them on screen during your video!

HACK 2: Provide Value and Share Educational Content

If you thought Reels were only for the latest dance trends, think again. 

Friends, we witness so many people going viral by sharing informative content!

This is the BEST way to show your audience that you are in fact an EXPERT in your industry!

HACK 3: Share Your Reels to Your Feed

Are you looking for the best way to boost views?

Are you looking for the best way to increase your chances of going viral?

Friend, sharing to your IG feed is a MUST!

When you go to post your Reel, make sure you opt to share your Reels directly to your Instagram feed! If you miss this step, there’s a chance your Reel will go unseen by your community. 

Why put in all of that work for it to go unnoticed?

And don’t worry, if you are concerned about ruining your Instagram look & feel, you can upload an Instagram Reel cover image so it fits in nicely with the rest of your content.
