I have an account of 753k on IG, my recommendations on this area are: 1. use a trend reel and write "Stitch coming" and at the end you can talk about it 2. you can also react to the video with you making faces if you don't want to talk about it but still you appearing there and reacting makes it more original 3. you can also edit it by adding text with your reactions 4. you can add subtitles and a text that says: read the description and add your thoughts written there. Finally, give credit at the end of the description not the beginning bc that way people will tend to watch your whole video (they don't like to read or almost never read till the end)
For this Tiktok helps, bc each video performs by itself and sometimes a video goes viral so you can add in your description a follow me on IG promising different content there. But yes if you want to grow faster, another thing to do is to entertaining content that has something to do with your niche and always adding text, descriptions, or reactions that explain why you are reposting this content from other source. Since people are not going to your profile but deciding to follow you bc they saw one or two videos, make sure to also add CTA: Watch till the end, stitch coming, read the description, follow me for more of x,y,z content, or this new method of editing and adding a text above the video saying: If there was only an IG account about let's say: Actors failing during filming, people analizing finance content... or whatever your niche is about
Regarding of this, sometimes is a good idea to post the same content exactly at different hours bc that is very important, sometimes that is the only factor, so that is the first thing in my opinion to discover. Remember always to change just one variable at the same time so you know what is working and what is not working. Once you discover your best posting times, then you can start experimenting with the hook, so same hours, same content different hooks to check what works best and so on
if you're unsure about how to make better content for your audience you can use chatgpt, i usually use a prompt that says something along these lines: Act as a (niche) expert. My audience is people of (age) who wants to (be entertained, likes to watch actors failing, learn about x,yz) i saw this video in which (this and this happens) what are your thoughts about it. Then you can use that info as you wish or you can even take what you like and ask again to chatgpt: Resume this info in a text that i can read in 30-90 seconds (best length for viralization) you can even ask about different aspects such as explain to me why this happened,, or why this is important etc...
very important not using watermarks, be careful to delete any capcut watermarks. Social media apps like IG definitely don't like that. Capcut pro has that function integrated and if you're using tiktok or IG or Yt there are plenty of online video downloaders free that will erase the watermark
another strategy that works really good is to go to your
If you're going to do the Follow/Unfollow strategy organically and not using blackhat methods, then the best approach is to follow and unfollow people who actively engage with your competitors.
another advise: head over to the comments section and start adding value by answering questions — both in text and by using Instagram’s feature to reply with your own Reel.
The strategy of using other people’s videos (if that content is already viral or trending) is actually a really good one. It’s worked super well for me over the past few months to boost engagement and visibility.
Another thing we’ve been testing is that Instagram favors or prioritizes when people watch your Reel all the way through. So you can actually run tests using the exact same video but with different lengths (for example, one that’s 1 minute, one that’s 60 seconds, and another that’s just 30 seconds.)
Yes, that notification means Instagram knows the reel isn’t originally yours, which can slightly reduce its reach. Just reposting without adding anything (like captions, reactions, or edits) usually doesn’t do well. Low views at the start are normal; growth comes with original content and staying consistent.
This is really important: your username and your bio.
In your bio, write your unique value proposition what exactly do you do for the people who follow you?
sorry i made a mistake: The order of interaction is Comments > Shares > Saves > Likes.
How about if you ask similar question to a kid around you, or a friend in a way they can best relate to what you mean, and compare their response with that of the AI, then blend the both to get a natural masterpiece. I'm fine with the AI for one thing, it'll help the human race relearn how to ask each other great questions.
