Reels, the new Instagram feature is very similar to TikTok. It allows us to create short videos in a vertical position and add effects, music or filters. Reels is a good way to share what you like most with your followers: dancing, making humorous videos, singing... Do you want to succeed in your Instagram Reels and have many views and Likes?I teach you 5 tricks that you should know and that will be very useful for your Reels.
Share your Reel as much as possible
You can share the video through Instagram Stories, by direct message or in your publications Share it as much as possible so that more users can see it see. To share a Reel to your Instagram Story, all you have to do is wait for it to be published. Next, click on the airplane icon that appears at the bottom of the video. Now select where you want to share it. You can post it to your Story or send it by direct message to your contacts.
Create eye-catching covers
In your Instagram Reels you can create covers very easily. In this tutorial I explain how you can apply a cover. By default, Instagram allows you to choose a part of the video and use it as a screenshot. But you can also create a cover and publish it, so that your Reel looks much more attractive.Especially when you share it.
You have two options. Or create a cover through an editing app, or through the Instagram Stories themselves To make it more attractive and with an aesthetic much more similar to the app you can use instagram stories. Plus, it's easier. You just have to create a Story with the text, image and emojis you prefer and save it instead of uploading it. Now, when you go to set the cover, click 'Import from camera roll' and choose the saved story.
The story may not appear as on some devices it is not saved to the camera roll but to another folder. In this case you must upload the cover before creating the video Then, in the cover selection, drag until the cover you have chosen appears on the thumbnail.
Don't forget the hashtags
Reels can also position in the 'Explore' tab and can appear when someone uses a hashtags. Therefore, it is highly recommended to put tags in your video description. Do it before posting it. To make it look more appealing, add them to the end of a description, and don't use too many hashtags either. For example, you can select these for different categories.
- If your Reel is humorous: humor, meme, divertido, viral funny…
- If your Reel is dance: Dance, Baile Coreo, Danza Moving…
- If your Reel is food: Food, Recipe, Food, Fodie…
You can also use very common hashtags. For example, Reels, Instagram, Video, Love, Viral, Trend…
A tip: do not use hashtags that are not related to the videoWhile they can attract views, users who have accessed your video through the tag are unlikely to follow you, since the video is unrelated and therefore not of interest to them.
Add music and effects
In Reels we can add music or even make videos with our Instagra filtersm. Don't miss out on this feature and make your videos more attractive with music or some nice effect. We can select the music before the video, but also after creating it.
- To add music before the video: you just have to access the Stories section, slide to the Reels option and press on the musical note icon. Then browse or select the song and choose the part you want.
- If you've already made the video and want to add music: just stop recording and tap the music icon. Next, select the song. In the preview you will see that the music has been added to the video.
You can also add GIFs or stickers to your videos. Create a Reel and click on the right arrow. Then in the video preview, swipe up and you will access the option to add Stickers, GIFs and more.
Create or go viral with a different touch
In this type of videos, virals and challenges triumph. To succeed you can recreate a viral video. But it is very easy to record a video on your bedroom wall and with the light of the desk lamp. You must record that Challenge or video with a touch more originality Give it personality with the style that you prefer.For example, you can recreate that 'trend' with humor, or that popular dance that everyone does in a different place, like a landscape. That will make your Reels much more attractive.
