HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PRESENCE ON INSTAGRAM
PRIORITIZE REELS
Reels are brief videos that are posted on Instagram, typically lasting between 7 to 15 seconds. They have the potential to reach a wider audience because they may appear on the explore page. This can result in more views, likes, shares, engagement, and followers.
To ensure the success of your reels, they should be
entertaining
inspiring
experimental
creative
relevant to your target audience
Additionally, it's important to keep your reels short and engaging while avoiding blurry or low-quality footage.
Remember to have fun with your reels and stay true to your brand's values and personality. By following these tips, you can create reels that capture your audience's attention and help you grow your presence on Instagram.
MAKE A CONTENT PLANNER
Whether you prefer a weekly, monthly, or yearly planner, there's no wrong way to approach content planning. The key is to find a method that works best for you. However, using a content planner can be a valuable tool in your content creation process. Planning your posts in advance can help you maintain a clear vision of your content and align it with your goals.
To keep your content fresh and engaging, consider alternating between different types of content such as showcasing a specific product, sharing a testimonial, giving a behind-the-scenes look, creating a "spend the day with me" vlog, or sharing knowledgeable content to start a conversation.
Quality over quantity, always !
