Hacks for Creating Viral Instagram Reels

Before we get started, it is important to always remember that your reels not going viral does not mean the content is not good! Just stay consistent and keep putting out quality content., regardless of the amount of views you receive.

Now let us get into a few hacks for creating viral Instagram reels.

Short videos

People no longer have the patience (or the time) to watch long videos, unfortunately. Try to keep your reels as short as possible. It is easier to get and keep the attention of your audience with videos that are 30 to 45 seconds long.

Hashtags

Do not sleep on hashtags! One of the best ways to get your content out there is by attaching hashtags at the end of your caption. This way, when someone searches for a specific hashtag on Instagram, your video will be one of the videos that show up. Remember that the hashtags should be relevant to the contents of the reel.

Relatable/Personalized Content

As a small business, of course it is important to put out content that is informative and draw attention to the service/product you offer. However, it is also very important to have some personal content. This can be anything from “what a day in the office looks like” to “behind the scenes” content. Your audience is able to relate to this content, which will make it more popular.

Trends

Take part in trends! Trending dances and trending sounds are a sure way of your content getting a lot of notice. Everyone wants to be different and original and you can still do this, by adding your own twist to the trends that you will be partaking in.

And remember, trending reels does not automatically relate to sales, but it’s a good place to start!
