I seemed to find the perfect balance between original Reels content and trendy Reels content - and today I want to show you my actual step by step process for creating them - including planning ideas, filming, and editing.

Hi i was wondering if you ever feel burnt out from social media? i want to grow my content for my small business but tbh im not really into social media so i often feeling so drained even just thinking about the ideas is stressing me out 😢

@samieparadise9316 4 ай бұрын

It won't be good for you. I love social media and still get burnt out😊

@t-helen-price 8 ай бұрын

Wow, tons of value here! Your shot lists, film edits and scheduled planning are all incredibly overwhelming (esp because i work full time) yet seem so achievable to implement. Giving me big motivation to stay consistent with my content creating from now on.

I've really struggled to grow on tiktok and insta since the algorithm changes last year, I post lots of different types of videos and nothing seems to take off like before. I definitely need to post more trendy content like you've said, that's really helpful ❤

I’m so glad you shared those tips about trends! I’m not saying I’ll never do them and I do see the value in sprinkling them in, but they do often look and feel unnatural to me so it really made me breathe a sigh of relief to hear this take from a reputable source. Thank you!

I’ve heard that Reels reach has been reduced by 75%. Is that true? Also I feel like some people are just more adept at video & Reels than the rest of us. I’m so frustrated by it. 😔 I think I’d do better at longer form videos such as for KZfaq, but I don’t know if I can handle one more platform. 😢

@michellegarza9751 8 ай бұрын

I've heard the same thing and my reels don't perform as well as they did just a few months ago. Not sure what to do about that. It just seems like such a waste of time for the poor ROI.

@suicideshy451 7 ай бұрын

Reduce your posting to another platform if you think you want to move to KZfaq. Ie. Reduce Instagram posting to be something that KZfaq followers can find as a way to feel deeper connected with you instead of snippet forms of your KZfaq posts.

Do I use Storyblocks with Video pad, or just Storyblocks for editing the videos?

@ByCalichi 7 ай бұрын

Hey Katie ! I've seen people say that to reach more people outside of the followers zone, we should stop sharing the reel to the feed. Apparently, some people recommend doing that and gained a susbtantial amount of followers and views...what is your take on that ? (I know you love analyzing hehe)

Is this you as well? Just can't seem to find the schedule post feature no matter if you've switched to business account, connected your facebook page or re-installed the app. Same goes for the browser version of instagram. Let me know in the reply section please!
