what's going on everyone welcome back to
another video we are talking about
Instagram reals today if you guys are
looking to blow up on Instagram reals
you came to the right video recently
I've been having a lot of success with
Instagram reals so I wanted to share
with you guys some tips and tricks on
how you can get more traction to your
page in the last month I have gained
13,000 followers I've had two viral
videos and another one that's about to
be viral as well even though the
algorithm is always changing this is
what's going to help you now with
Instagram real so if you're looking to
build up your Instagram I feel like it's
super important if you're into content
creation to build up your Instagram
considering Instagram is kind of like
your resume for other brands to see you
for the last month I've been really
consistent with posting I want to show
you guys what I've done to get success
so quickly just to give you guys a
little bit of an idea of what I've
experienced in the last month um so I've
had one video Hit 3.1 million I've had
another video Hit 1.5 million and then I
had another one that is now hitting
520,000 at the moment it it's so uh
pumping but around the beginning of
December I started with about like 700
followers now a month later I'm sitting
at
133.5k and it's still going up I have
done the research and I have tried
everything I feel like everyone tries to
say the same thing but I think you're
going to find a lot of useful tips in
here that maybe people don't talk about
on social media so grab your coffee grab
a snack and let's get into it obviously
one of the first things is being
consistent with posting you want to keep
posting on your stories at least once a
day on your story and at least do a real
I would say about four times a week at
the minimum if you want to do more you
can but I would say like keep it at four
if you can only do three do three but
keep consistent with doing reals I think
that four at the minimum is perfect I
think you can be posting regular posts
or carousels in the meantime like
between reals and stuff like that but
honestly I I haven't found a lot of
success with growing your platform
through those regular posts I don't
think Instagram really pushes posts like
that anymore they really are pushing
reals most of my content on my Instagram
is reals and that's what I've seen
success with every time I do a post I
get some likes but it's not anything
crazy um I do think you should have an
occasional post here and there but I
think that your main priority should be
Instagram reals so make sure you post
about four times a week and be
consistent you can use the same Clips in
some of your wheels and but just use a
different sound and stuff like that nine
times out of 10 you're reaching a
different audience every single time and
you're you're formulating it in a way
that it's different so even the people
who are following you aren't going to
really get sick and tired of that
content so just make sure you know you
you are still getting new clips here and
there so that way it's not the same
thing for a month and a half but you can
definitely reuse clips for a couple
reels you're not going to get more
traction to your page if you're not
posting like there's just no way that
can happen so definitely keep posting I
know sometimes it's hard when you see a
video flop but do not delete it because
I've had a video blow up weeks later
because the sound just started trending
again so don't delete ones that didn't
perform well you never know if they
might just spike out of nowhere um I I
know I've done that in the past where
I've deleted old videos and then the
trend went viral again and you know I
probably missed out so but I've had had
experiences where I have an old one from
like 3 months ago that just out of
nowhere starts getting a lot of likes
and Views so definitely don't delete any
content keep all your content up there I
think that's super important is to not
delete anything I recommend that you use
hashtag open up your notes app and type
out a bunch of hashtags I'm going to put
up a screenshot of the hashtags I use
for my Niche my Niche is really like
motivational inspirational working on
yourself self love but utilize hashtags
I put a lot of hashtags in my videos and
I put it way at the bottom so that it
doesn't interfere with my caption I know
nobody sees like a bunch of annoying
hashtags everywhere but I definitely
think that hashtags can help boost your
post like it definitely helped me all my
videos I put hashtags on so I found that
to be really helpful and useful so
here's a little secret tip when you're
looking for a sound first of all make
sure it's a trending sound I feel like
that's kind of a given but if it's a
trending sound you're most likely going
to catch the trend and your video will
do a lot better than if you use a
non-trending sound but when you are
looking for a good trending sound to use
make sure that it is under 10K uses and
then go to the top row and see if any of
them have hit a million views cuz that
means that that trending sound is going
to do really well and other people are
seeing a lot of success using that sound
another thing you're going to want to do
though when you do find that sound
that's under 10,000 and the top row has
a couple million views when you see that
you're going to want to click on that
video and then scroll through their
comments to see if they've had comments
within the last week cuz if it says like
four or five weeks ago you're probably
not going to want to use that sound
because it's probably going to be done
trending soon but if it's within the
last week definitely go ahead and use
that sound in your video and make your
video according to that sound because
that means it's been trending recently
and a lot of people have been
interacting with that sound over the
last week but if it's like 5 weeks out
you're not really going to want to use
that sound because it was probably
something that was like more trending a
while ago and the trend is kind of
fading out already mind you guys this is
what I've been doing for myself and what
I've seen work for myself so I'm just
giving you guys the tips that got me 13
,000 followers within a month and I've
seen so much growth in the last month
than I have in the last 3 months because
I've been doing this every single time I
go to look for a sound and I feel like
it's really been helping when I find a
sound that's trending under 10k the top
row has a couple million views and then
I look in the comments and it says it's
been used in the last week like there's
been comments within the last week so
now that we talked about sound let's
talk about engagement I think engagement
is very important and I've noticed a
spike in My Views since I've been doing
this as well you want to to comment on
other creators content so go through the
Instagram reals Tab and scroll through
reals that are in the same niches you
and comment on them whatever you want to
comment on them leave a nice comment of
course and comment on those reals
because I think that the more engaged
you are in the app the more Instagram
recognizes you in the algorithm so I've
been commenting on other people's post
and I that's not something I used to do
before I just only used to comment back
to people who commented on my posts
which is also important I'll get to that
in a second but I think it's important
that when you go to the reals tab you
scroll through looking for Content find
content that you like and then leave a
nice comment on their video because you
never know who's going to see that
comment and might see your profile
picture and click on you and be like Oh
I like that person or maybe that person
who you commented on will also follow
you as well so I think it also just EMB
boosts engagement in General on
Instagram so I think that's something
that you guys should be doing in order
to boost your own content and your views
and your follow account reply to your
comments I think you guys need to reply
to your comments because replying to
comments is so important I feel like the
more that I reply to the comments the
more my video gets a views like always
be replying to literally as many
comments as you can my video one of my
video had like 300 comments or something
like that I tried to reply to almost
every single one of them don't be the
person that doesn't reply to anybody
ignores all the comments reply to the
comments I'm telling you it boosts your
engagement Instagram sees that your acve
with your followers or the people that
are engaging in your posts and they
boost your content even more because the
app wants engagement it wants the person
to come back into the app so think about
it if you respond to their comment that
person is going to click back on the app
to see what you said right or to like
your comment I think it's important that
you guys reply to comment it boosts
engagement so definitely be replying to
comments liking comments and interact um
when somebody mentions you in a story
make sure you like their story because
they mentioned you I that's what I have
been doing and I found a lot of success
using all of these things once you
figure out what it is that's done the
best for you like what when one of your
videos takes off and it's more than the
usual amount usually that means that
they want to see more of that content
like the algorithm is going to push you
up on the list when they see more of the
content of the one that performed really
well so say one of your reels hits
10,000 views right and all your other
ones are always at 1,000 1,500 make more
content like that one the one that 3
million views for me the next time I
made something similar to that it hit
1.5 million the content in between the 3
million and the 1.5 million didn't do
too well they didn't do horrible but
they didn't do too well so I'm I was
trying to think to myself what was the
difference between that content and the
one that hit 3 million and then once I
made one similar to the one that hit 3
million it took it took off it hit 1.5
million so definitely use your content
as indicators as to what the algorithm
wants to see and what the viewer wants
to see I know that can kind of be a
little confusing so I hope you guys
understand that if at any point you
don't understand what I'm saying or you
have any questions leave a comment down
below I'll try to answer all your
questions to the best of my ability
definitely give my tips a try I hope
they work out for you as well as they
worked out for me thank you guys so much
for watching I appreciate each and every
one of you and I will see you in the
next
