Reels viral in a few minutes! Follow these smart strategies
1. First 3 second ‘hook’
The first 3 seconds of the video are the most important. Algorithms see how long a user stays on your video. Place a startling scene, question, or close-up shot at the beginning that compels the viewer to stop without scrolling.
2. Proper use of trending audio
Instagram promotes more videos that have trending music. But remember, it’s important that the audio matches the content of your video. Don’t use irrelevant songs just to follow the trend.
3. Video Quality and Format (9:16)
Nobody likes blurry or low-resolution videos. Always shoot videos in 9:16 (Vertical) format. Adequate lighting and a stable camera give the video a professional look, which the algorithm catches quickly.
4. The magic of captions and hashtags
A good caption helps increase engagement. Ask the audience a question or give a call-to-action (CTA) like “Tag a friend” in the caption. Also use 5-8 relevant hashtags so that the video reaches the right audience.
5. The right time to post
See when your followers are most active with Instagram Insights. Generally posting between 7 am to 9 am and 7 pm to 10 pm is more likely to get good response.
6. Patience and consistency
The key to success is consistency. Upload at least 3-4 quality reels per week. If a video doesn’t go viral, don’t despair. Try to learn from each video what topic the viewers like the most.
