If you are a regular user of Instagram you will know well what is happening with this social network. Little by little, the algorithms and rules of Instagram have been changing in favor of the interest of users to discover new content. But this has meant that your followers are left without seeing many of the photos you post. That is why promotion techniques are given through Instagram Stories Those publications that want to remember that they have published a new photo or video on the profile, and that you can see her clicking on it.Well, if you're tired of this too, why not make it more attractive?
The key to all of this is to engage your followers. Make it interactive and entertaining so they don't hesitate to click on a Story and see your published photo. Much better if you sweeten it with a caramel. That is, if you do it as a game, where participating already creates intention with your followers. Can't think of anything attractive to promote your posts? Don't worry, we present you three fun games.
You can't skip the story
The latest trend that is moving in Instagram Stories is that of cplacing a post at the edge of the screen It's that simple and how intelligent is this game or prank. In this way, those who are watching your stories in passing will not be able to go to the next story, but will click directly on the publication to access it and see it in all its splendor.
It's a little trick that will stop the action of scrolling through your stories. And it is that, when clicking on the right side of the screen, instead of jumping to the next story, the sign will appear to see this publication If the quick gesture and tapping on the screen again with the intention of jumping to the next story, they will only be able to finally see the publication.
To do this, you just have to share your static publication in a story. Of course, instead of putting it in the middle of the screen you will have to enlarge it and move it to the right side of the screen Almost until cutting the image in half. In this way you will cancel the function of passing the story and you will activate the function of seeing the publication when they click on this side. The technique is not perfect, since it depends on the screen format of your mobile and the user who sees it, but with a little practice you will be able to fine tune it.Of course, do not abuse it or your followers will know about this tactic and will end up blocking you or skipping you when it comes to seeing your stories.
The trileros of Instagram
There is a very attractive game with which to increase the participation of followers when publishing content on Instagram Stories. And it is, precisely, hide the publication in some way That way is usually stickers or Emoji emoticons. A kind of trickster game that invites you to click on the screen and find the photo. And if you've made it this far, why not check out the post now?
The idea is simple, and Instagram gives us all the ingredients. We just have to share a post in a story. We will make it small, enough to hide it behind an Emoji We can take advantage of the cake emoticon to cover it, and place two or three of these cake Emoji on the screen in different positions.Also add a text to explain the game. Something like: Which cake has a prize? Click to find out.
With this your most gamer followers will try their luck and click on the emoticons When doing so on the one with the hidden photo, the pop-up message will appear to see post. If they have already played around trying to guess where the photo is, the effort will most likely lead them to visit the image. You can use Emoji emoticons related to the post photo to make the game even more meaningful.
What is in the box?
You can also play with mystery when promoting your posts on Instagram Stories. That curiosity killed the cat can help you with the likes in this case. It is a variant of the previous game of the trileros.But this time more simplified and direct. The key is to hide the publication behind a single Emoji emoticon, but cover everything with an aura of mystery and hype that invites you to press to bring followers to our photo.
We repeat the previous scheme: we share a publication in Stories through the paper plane icon. We used the pinch gesture to make it smaller so we could hide it behind an emoticon. Remember that you can enlarge the emoticon also with the pinch gesture, and move it with your finger to place it just above the post. And now comes the most important thing: the mystery. Use a text to get your followers' attention For example, you can use the gift emoticon and write something like “What's in the box?”, or "Click on the gift to open it and see what's in it." Surely more than one follower ends up falling and clicking on the see publication label to access the photo.
The metaphoto game
Another option that you have to draw attention to a post through your Instagram Stories is to announce it in style But give it a gamification capita or game so that followers are encouraged to see the photo and, hopefully, leave you a like. How to do it? Easy: using all the resources that Instagram gives you.
For example, you can add a large number of emoticons with smileys of different types and ask the question: How many smileys are there in the Story? Comment the number on my photo. Something that will add fun to looking at a photo, and add to the interaction of the comments on the post.
You can also hide part of the photo with a GIF or an Emoji and ask a questionWhat color hair suits me best? If you have covered this element in your publication, for example. Or adding mystery with a key question that can only be discovered by clicking on the photo. The key is to make the process entertaining, to involve some playful activity and, if you can surprise your followers, all the better.
