1a) use text in video to make them unmute 1b) insert text only in IG app 1c) don't use too much text, make it easy to read 2) reels are 4:3, not 16:9 3) have ONE consistent topic-and 5 sub-topics 4) save the video! 5) make trending content that also sticks to your niche 6) make video only 1080p. Remove logos in videos. 7) don't overthink. Videos don't have to go viral. They don't have to hit. Just show up. record the audio. Then think of how to apply to niche. 8) add CTA on every video.

I can't figure out how to add text to just one uploaded photo, and not onto the 'entire' group of photos in the Reel. Like, if I add a caption, it's there for the whole reel, when I just want it on specific parts, if that makes sense? I'm not a tech-y so if anybody could solve this for me..it would be SO appreciated!

@villeneuvewoodworks Жыл бұрын

Seems like my short reels do very well. Even at 7secs, how can you add text at the end of ig videos?

My biggest mistakes that I just learned from you is losing my video quality by recording in 4k, not removing my tiktok logos, and not putting a call to action on my videos! I’m so glad I found this video and listened to it today while I was cleaning my room 🎉🎉🎉

@RanaLeeDoyal 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not growing a brand, but I’ve been toying with the idea. Loved your video - you talk at just the right speed - I’m a SAHM with two toddlers - I’m tapped out on patience lol and I got all the info quickly and painlessly. Bonus, you have a great camera presence and aren’t annoying - sorry to say, some people aren’t for everyone, but it’s true. I definitely subscribed to your channel - who knows maybe you’ll be the one to get me to take that chance! 😊

I posted my first one not too long ago. Probably not the most exciting first reel but the reach was impressive! Over 2K accounts reached over a few days time. That is a MASSIVE improvement over what I would normally get without reels. Thanks for the ideas on improvements as my next one has me talking in it.

@@MillieAdrian Would you mind clarifying the whole situation with hashtags - it’s quite confusing I find. I’ve started to use the Flick hashtag tool at the moment. Some KZfaqr’s say only 3 to 5 hashtags on reels in the caption while others say use up to 30 when doing a regular post. It’s confusing whether to include them in the caption or in the comment section and some say to mix up the quantity of hashtags through your normal posts. I know the IG creators page has said 3-5 tags for posts within the caption but I still see a lot of creators putting many more than that. If you’re posting an image with no hashtags and then adding your hashtags to the comments section after posting does that hurt your reach? Not sure if you have a video on this but would be great to clarify! Thanks Millie! 😊🙏🏼
