Instagram Reels are a great way to reach more accounts on Instagram. The 4 Instagram Reel secrets will help you make reel creation a bit easier. I think it can be difficult to decipher exactly what it is you need to make reels that will grow your account. Too often we focus on growth and forget to nurture, so prior to diving in think of 4 ways your can nurture your community. Growing on Instagram takes dedication, consistency

Reel Secret #1: You

YES, you are your secret sauce! You are the reason that you have 1, 500, 1K, 5K, etc followers. Your story is yours only to tell and you should utilize Instagram Reels to do exactly that! So the number 1 secret is taking time to sit and think what content makes your Instagram you. Write a list of 10 items & use that to create Reel content.

Reel Secret #2:

Viral vs. Conversion. A viral video does not automatically mean you will be getting thousands of new followers. Also there is no guarantee when it comes to viral video. Conversion is what you want to do when it comes to Instagram Reels. Consistent exposure, which leads to an increase of following, email subscribers, clients, etc. One of my “viral” reels (80K), which was viral for my 4K Instagram account did not get me a single follower. Yes, you read that right. Not a single follower because I did not have a next step.

Reel Secret #3:

Create the next step. Creating a Call to Action (CTA) is the way to convert your Instagram Reels. Your CTA can be something simple as double tap, comment, or save this later. The CTA is important for Instagram reels because people may be watching in the Reels button, so it tells whoever is watching what they should do next! CTA is also important in your feed post captions 😉

Reel Secret #4:

You don’t need new ideas. I know you’re thinking why wouldn’t I need to create new ideas. I think sometimes when a new features come around, everyone thinks of the how they are going to create new content. DON’T. A new feature give you an opportunity to repurpose content. I may not go out of my way to watch a Youtube video, but if you give me a snippet in a reel and I am intrigued… Undoubtedly, I will head over to that video. Instagram Reels allow you to reminisce and widen your reach. So, don’t complicate it friend.
