This is exciting news for me. I went viral this weekend. I’m finally able to build a community around living with more joy.
Love to hear that! Congrats on going viral, that's always the goal, I hope you're set up for success!!! - C
Hi how long and how many posts dit it take for you to have your first viral ?
That’s awesome to hear! This is definitely a grind, but probably the most enjoyable one I’ve gotten into
Thrilled that Instagram is finally prioritizing the original creators, because our videos get stolen and reposted over and over again.
It's a very cool development for sure - C
Great video. If you are posting on instagram and not using some tools (like a bit of Famester), you are probably behind 70% of other creators. Btw, I love that we can now use all these social media platforms for benefits in other niches, not just content creation for itself. Keep up the great work bro, I believe this channel can be very successful.
Famster? I’m going to look into that
What's famester?
I am so excited for the possibilities with this change! Thank you so much for breaking it down.
Our pleasure! Stoked for a future full of higher reach - C
Instagram should build a feature that will allow creator accounts to give specific accounts (theme pages) permission to simply re-post with no penalties. This way both can grow.
Great idea! This could be the first step towards that, perhaps - C
You would think crediting should be enough? So far all I credited were ok and happy about it.
@@littletudordiary I guess that's what they're wanting to change. As a user, I never ever tap on the link to the original creator and I imagine a lot of users are like me, and this change somewhat fixes that - C
@@Highseasonco If I like the content, I always go to the profile page to "Like" it, but I can say that I haven't gotten so much engagement when my content has been reposted, so most people don't seem to do that.
@@vlo4829 Exactly. That's how I behave as a user, so I imagine most folks wouldn't take the time to go and check out the original creator - C
I stumbled across your channel I'm looking for advice on how to enhance my Instagram experience having a small business. This was a brilliant video and I enjoyed the dynamic between the two of you! Thank you so much for giving us all this information and tips, it is helpful! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much, Kay! Really appreciate the kind words, and we're super happy to hear the info is helpful. Thanks for watching, I hope you find more videos here that help! - C
Glad I watched this because we have a lot of content planned and this will help us plan it better!
Love to hear that! Thank you! - C
Thank you so much. Great videos
You’re so welcome, and glad you find the videos helpful!
Great video! Glad to see them finally pushing reels to a test audience straight away. Does the original content apply just to the creative or to captions as well as I know some coaches will reuse captions from time to time, myself included.
Thank you! Agreed, it's a very cool development. They haven't clarified but it seems like they're just concerned about the creative itself, not the captions. Definitely worth testing it to see if any issues arise - C
Amazing news, finally helping the little guy!
You love to see it! - C
Great video, chocked full of info (per usual). I’ve definitely benefited from the recent changes offer years of trying. Currently have a video specifically benefiting from the algorithm changes!
Thank you! Love to hear that! And it's barely kicked in yet, so very happy to hear you're already seeing some upticks :) Thanks for watching!! - C
Woow! If it hadn't been for this video, l wouldn't have known for months to be honest. Thank you so much
You’re so welcome! Happy we could get that important information to you. - T
Thank you for posting !
You’re so welcome! - T
First off, LOVE your videos. You guys are great - if you are ever in the Okanagan area - would love to meet! I just wanted to ask; what about when it comes to re-sharing static posts (images) from other accounts. This has all been clear and enlightening regarding REELS; however what about images. Thank you so much! You both rock!
Hey Alexis! Thanks for the super kind words :) Okanagan is high on our list, I (Craig) haven't been there in 20 years so hopefully soon! My guess would be it's the same for images as it is for Reels. It would make sense that all content would be judged the same, so as long as it is "materially changed" enough (text, voiceovers, music, edits etc) then it should be fine. Hopefully they release some more detailed info soon! - C

@@SingKiaMuze ?
Thank you!
So welcome, Tenesha! - C
As a social media manager, this is very exciting news!! I believe that I am already starting to notice increased reach. I noticed it yesterday on a few of my clients’ accounts prior to even watching this video, so this further confirms it for me. I’m excited!!
That definitely sucks for theme pages though. Also, how do I join your community?
Loove to hear that 👏👏 they did already start testing so that would make a lot of sense. Good for our clients (and us). Here's the link to our membership, if you ever want to chat through SMM-related things, or if you'd like to see any videos related to the business side let us know! - T

I need your help
@@BenginoWhyte-gv3ow Hi! You can ask any questions here, but if you're looking for deeper assistance, you can reach out to the team here: www.highseasonco.com/consultations - C
So I switched my account to professional/ creator. So I see where I was going wrong. But I also see in order to boost my reach I have to pay for the ad to be ran
@@BenginoWhyte-gv3ow Correct. Ads are the only way to guarantee increased reach. Business/Creator verification pushes you to the top of search results - C
thanks!
So welcome, thanks for watching! - C
Thank you so much! Super helpful information! Does barrow content (that would get you suspended from being recommended) include reposting other peoples content to your story?
So welcome! No, that's fine, you can always share anything to Stories with no consequences. It's just about in-feed posts/Reels for now :) Thanks for watching! - C
Excellent breakdown of the new Instagram updates! The emphasis on Reels and original content is so crucial. For creators who haven’t yet embraced Reels, what advice would you give to get started and make the most impact? Love your content as always! 🥰
Thank you so much! Agreed, Reels and OG content is the focus moving forward. If you haven't really gotten started with Reels, the best thing you can do is just get going. I'd suggest to make a proper Social Media strategy (you can do that here: ruclips.net/video/d-nDgTm82As/видео.html), and consider all your content pillars, types and ideas. The truth of the matter is there is really no secret to success on any social platform - it's all about testing to see what resonates with your audience, paired with best practices to give your content the best chance of success. Test a bunch of things that feel aligned with your brand, give it at least 4-8 weeks to see if it gets any traction. If it does, double down. If it doesn't, switch it up and try something else. Hope that helps! -
@@Highseasonco Thanks so much for your reply! Makes sense x
I’ve actually seen a bit of a spike on my posts over the last couple of days!!! lol - and I was wondering what was going on? So I wondered what you guys might be thinking too only see you posted this video! (I missed it) Very interesting stuff… I’ve just changed my account over to a creator account now - So we will see how we go :) Thanks guys - Grant… Gold Coast, Australia 🇦🇺
Love to hear it, Grant! That's likely what's going on, happy to hear your posts are doing better. Hopefully the Creator account works well - cheers mate! - C
Great channel I definitely subscribed.
Appreciate that, thank you! 🙏 - T
@@Highseasonco you’re very welcome!
Thanks for the valuable Intel! Wishing everyone a wonderful and lucrative 2024
Appreciate you - and an abundant year to you! ✨ - C
Hi guys, you're awesome! Thank you for sharing that info. I've noticed that my lately posts have 0 non-followers. Do you have any idea why, and what can I do to change that? Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! Have you changed your content lately? It's tough to diagnose without knowing everything about your account and approach, but the best bet is to do all the things - daily engagement, hashtags, full SEO, switching up your content, being consistent etc. - C
Hi, thanks for the video- very interesting and informative, as usual. One question: in your Instagram checklist, you advise changing your account to a business account, which I did. In this video you advise changing to a creator account to take advantage of these new algorithm revisions. What do you think is the best thing to do?
Hi! Originally the guide was directed at Business accounts only (that's all that existed at the time we made it), but we're going to update it to Professional accounts in general. Creator accounts allow you access to trending audio among other things, so it mostly depends on what you want out of your account - C
I’m so glad I watched this. I have a themed account annnnnd this is very good to know!
And it’s nice to know that as a creator, I’ll be recognized for it.
Like those MMR accounts are going to not like this, I started to make one of my pages like this.
Let me ask this now, all MMR reels are no good?
Hi Shelby! I imagine that the MMR Reels will suffer from these changes, as from my understanding they would have been uploaded many times and it would just trace back to the original creator/uploader. The best bet would be to edit them and make "material changes" - text, voiceovers, music, edits, etc, so that it's different than the others. Hope that helps! - C
MMR? What is MMR?
Do you all mean MRR?
Also there is no such thing as MRR accounts. Do you all mean faceless accounts?
Many faceless accounts market Master Resell Rights (MRR) products. Maybe you all are referring to faceless accounts.
Just trying to understand the dialogue you all are having so that I can understand your perspective.
@@AnomalyBelleza That was a typo, I was mimicking the post I responded to and yes, it was intended to be MRR, faceless accounts.
This is good and definitely true my last 3 post that I re-edit of original creators pickup am at 2 millions views one post and the other 550k. It works this was right on time .
Love that! Editing, remixing or stitching is the way to go for larger creators, all the while crediting the original creator - C
Great video with a lot of useful information! I have a question about the professional accounts, I have been using a business account for so long but my reach is plummeting, would you recommend switching it up to a creator account as a business?
Thank you! Switching to a Creator account won't change anything regarding your reach, but it'll definitely give you access to more tools like trending audio. The reach would be a different issue, likely due to lack of Stories, content not engaging your followers to therefore get the algorithm to share it to others etc. Test a few changes out with the content, do daily proactive engagement and post multiple Stories every day to see if that affects it - C
I have a theme page and the changes have already started so it’s interesting. Instead of reposting I just started using the remix feature, if I don’t do anything to it, I get a message to add a sticker or something to the video.
Before all these changes I would always post the creator of where it comes from so I’m not one of the ones creators complain about. I often get comments or a “like” from the creator. I do memes about music and other things. I feel like my page actually helps creators. I post say the best of the best of a specific creator that does skits for example.
It’s going to force me to post my original content I guess. I do have vids from concerts that sit in my phone lol
Thanks for this important update. We’ll see how it goes.
Hi Rhonda! That's great that you're always tagging the original creators. You can just actually remix content and add something like a reaction to the end of it to make it more unique. It's definitely going to be interesting watching how this all rolls out. Thanks for watching! - C
Thanks for the help guys but I’d like to know a little bit more about the difference between professional account and why that’s useful I only really have a website and a meta business suite would a creator account limit me in those regards ?
So welcome! A Professional account just gives you access to more features, and having a Creator account won't limit you in any way, the opposite in fact. - C
Listening to your video made me feel like I was listening to a language I don't understand 😭 You guys were very clear, but I don't get a thing about what they want 😭
It can be quite complicated sometimes! Let us know if you have specific questions, happy to answer :) - C
thank youuuu
So welcome! - C
Would you say it’s ok to use someone else’s template? Will Instagram still push your post if it’s original content but using another creators template?
Hi! In your video you mentioned it is better to have a creator account. Do you mean first select a professional account and then pick creator as option? Is this still your advice if I want to run ads? I have noticed with a webshop account I have acces to more statistics.
Hi! Yes that's correct - set up a Professional account and then choose Creator. Yes, ads work perfectly on Creator accounts. We have our own High Season Co. account as a Creator and run ads regularly, with full access to insights so you should keep everything. Hope that helps! - C
Amazing video, thank you🙏😍 If I have an old account (never maintained properly) but want to start over with new reels, shall I open a new account or it is ok to continue with the original one. 🤗Thanks
Hi! Thanks for the kind words :) You could go either way. Regardless, it'll take a bunch of work to get it going. If the old account was ever shadowbanned or had fake followers (or something like that), then it'd be best to just go for a new account and start fresh. Hope that helps! - C
@@Highseasonco thank you 😊
Hi. Does remixing the reels or cliping other reels and making the content out of it like pointing out wrong and right in that clip - comes under original content?
Hi! Nope, that'll be considered a "material change" so you'll be fine if you do that - C
I work as a SMM for a furniture sourcing company, most of our content does come from reposting the original brand content, we do create our content but not at a large scale as the original content. What changes can I make as a SMM to get more optimization.?
Hi! So the best way would be to remix or stitch the content from the original producer, that would get around the "material change" element. Or produce more of your own original content, that would definitely keep you in good stead - C
Great video
Cheers Uncle Stef!! - C
I saw a musician post a video yesterday and get far less views than usual with tons of shares and comments. I then saw an aggregated site re-upload their video. The musician had more followers than the aggregated site. The original video had more likes, shares, and comments. Based on this the musician should be getting the views, but the aggregated site got as many views on the same video with less followers and not original content. How is this possible?
Hi, this new update hasn't kicked in yet, so in that situation it's operating at normal. It's a few months away, so if this happened then, all of it would go to the musician - C
Hi Loves! Do you recommend to switch to creator account for a jewelry brand too?😊 Thank you🌹
Hi! Great question - as long as you don’t need business features (displaying your address, IG shop, lead forms) then you’d definitely be fine to make the switch. 😊 - T
@@Highseasonco thank you😘
that's what I was going to say! the first change is like tiktok!
Super similar! - C
@@Highseasonco yeah actually I think maybe they are taking advantage of the possible US Tiktok ban and trying to be the alternative? Cause when I heard that went through I was thinking I hope someone steps up and makes an app you know "rickrock" or something
I’m super curious what this means for stock videos and photo companies. Is this going to put them out of business since a huge community of theme pages utilize this content now. Versus taking and remixing creator videos now.
Great question. A number of folks have asked and we have no intel currently. Tiffany thinks it won't be affected due to stock photos having meta data, but I believe that the first person to post the stock photo will be the OG creator and everyone else will get dinged. At this point, it's up in the air so any guess could be it - C
Can you speak more on switching to a creator account and why instagram prefers them?
Hi, we were mostly saying that because Creator accounts seem to have access to more features, and all of the new changes are focused on Creators, we prefer to have all our clients on Creator accounts. At this point, we'd suggest to any business or creator to switch to a Creator account unless there's something super key that you need on your Business account. Hope that helps! - C
Key issue : automatic reel publishing cannot be done (...for some reason?...) with a creator account through software like later or buffer...so would I be right in assuming it's better to stick with a business account?
If that's important to you, then yes you should likely stay on a Business account. You'd be forfeiting the trending audio but it really comes down to what matters to you the most - C
Hey! So will this affect stock videos and stock websites if people are posting them with text over the videos to promote their brands? If that makes sense
Hey Leigh! I'd imagine it'd have no impact on stock images or videos, since they wouldn't technically be owned by any specific creator (at least on IG). They didn't say anything about stock so we'll have to see how it goes, but if you're adding text that might be enough to make it unique in their eyes - C
I need to learn how to grow on ig. Thanks
We got you - start here: ruclips.net/p/PLr0cAjaVapOPKf0fwNCKf437C1gtl8KJB - C
As a social media content creator for a weight loss /med spa company we are under business/Beauty should we switch to content creator? We don't use any tools as a business.
Hi! Yes that will get you access to trending audio, which is super popular in the med spa industry - C
What if, for example, a photographer runs two accounts to showcase his work, each focused on a slightly different field of photography, but sometimes duplicates his content or posts the same pictures on both accounts?
Great question! They haven't explicitly talked about a situation like that as yet. If I would guess, I'd say they'd allow us to list other accounts that we own so that they don't have any issues. Hopefully more info to come soon - C
If you download a reel to post on a theme page with a 3rd party app, (and tag the creator in the caption) would Instagram see that as aggregated content? Or would the algorithm see it as original bc you’re uploading from your device?
Great video btw!
Hi! And thank you! Yes they would definitely see it as aggregated content; all theme pages do exactly that process so it would count as aggregated content. Anything that has already been uploaded to IG would be the original content, and anything else is aggregated. Hope that helps! - C
So it's better to have a creator account than a business account?? In my case I have a fashion accessories brand so switching to creator makes sense?
It feels like it's the move if you want trending audio, which is pretty handy! If you ever want to switch to a Business account, you always can :) - C
If you have a business account and switch it to a creator account does that affect anything like reach & exposure? Just want to make sure I don’t mess anything up.
Hey Kurt, you'll have no issues with reach if you switch to a Creator account. You'll be fine and you'll have access to trending audio - C
What happens if I created a new account and deactivated the old one.. then I re-uploaded some of my old reels to my new account, would that still be counted as not original content? I hope you can answer my question. Because I keep getting restricted in posting comments several times. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Great question. They haven't clarified that as yet, so I'm not sure how it'd go. If I could guess, I'd say it'd be fine because all that content is now gone from Instagram so it's become original again. That feels most logical. Hopefully they're clear about situations like this! Thanks for watching - C
What about making reels with mrr done for you videos? Those videos are being sold over and over so it's adding text overlay enough to make it different?
This is a great question. Since the videos are sold over and over, it's possible that there could be an issue there. As we mentioned in the video, Meta hasn't specified exactly what constitutes enough of a "material change" to the content so it's something we'll have to wait to hear more about. If I'd make a guess, I'd say text plus a voiceover would be sufficient based on some of their suggestions but maybe text is enough. Hopefully we'll hear more soon - C
@@Highseasonco thanks for your reply
HI I have a business account (small clothing brand), should I change it to creator account ? could you please explain me the differences and why is better'? (ps. Im in a country where instagram store is not available, which I think is one of the perks of business accounts and Im missing that benefit)
Hi Luis, absolutely, especially if you want trending audio. For all intents and purposes, they're like 97% the same, except Creator accounts have access to trending audio (ie popular music) while Business accounts don't. There are a few other things, but that's the main reason we prefer a Creator account. The best part is you can change back any time, so there's no impact to your account at all - C
So if you have a personal account, do you open a whole new separate Creator Account, or do you add it under your existing personal account? Sorry, this may seem like a dumb question, but I’m older and haven’t used my personal account in awhile.
Hi! If you're looking to switch your Personal account to a Creator account, then you'd do it there and start by making it a Professional account. If you want to start a new account separate to your current Personal account, then you'd create that account, make it a Professional account and select Creator. Hope this helps! - C
@@Highseasonco Ok great! I don’t want the accounts linked. Thank you!
What is the remix feature you mentioned?
Hi! When you're watching the Reel you want to Remix, tap the ... in the right corner below the Share button, then select Remix - C
What if I want to repost my own content ? Or what if I use stock footage that anybody can use ? If I edit with my own text, color grading, etc.. what would happen in that case ?
Great questions re your own content. They haven't been clear about that. Stock footage, I'd imagine if you "materially change" it enough it'll be fine - C
Hey guys could you help with some of your awesome insights please? I have all green on my status and says I can monetise yet when I look at partner monetisation status it says I am unable and it says I violated policy yet no reason for it so I have no idea why its there or what to do? Also it says I can appeal but the box is grayed out so I can't . Also since this happened I can no longer see anyone's crown for subscriptions and I can't see my posts on hashtags yet if I look from another account I see them all and crowns too 😔😔
Hey! Hmm that sounds like some sort of a glitch being that the information is inconsistent. If you can't appeal, to me that would just mean that nothing is actually wrong with your account and that the other indicators are false. That said, the best way to guarantee you get some help is to pay for Meta Verified for Creators and access their premium support - C
So is it only apply ti reels or posts as well?
They specifically only mentioned Reels currently but it would make sense that it would apply to all posts, if not from the beginning but eventually - C
My account settings do not show the option for the creator account. Any tips? Thank you
Hi! We noticed with a client this week that their settings were in an entirely different place than the other accounts we see. Were these the steps you followed? help.instagram.com/2358103564437429
You can also try from desktop, let us know if that works! - T
What about re-posting my previous Content in another language? Like re-posting the same exact post or real in Spanish when it was originally post in English on my own site?
Great question! They haven't specified the intricate details of it all, so perhaps that'll be something they'll discuss. If the voiceover, for example, is in a totally different language you could assume it'd be OK - C
A quick question as a copywriting, what original content can i create for my audience 🤔 thanks
Hi! Best bet is to take a look at other copywriters who are doing well to see what they're posting. I'd suggest to post things like statistics as to why having a pro copywriter is important, tips on copywriting etc - C
@@Highseasonco thank you so much 💓
Are you going to create a video on the update of this whole you have to pay subscriptions to grow on Instagram? Etc
We already did! You can watch here: ruclips.net/video/ecYLZMgXX0Y/видео.html - C
@@Highseasonco thank you! 💕
Super useful ❤Thanks
So welcome, thanks for watching, Grant! - C
I have a question, my page was really growing well the last 1,5 years. Around Juli 2023 my post aren’t being seen by non followers any more. My reach has gone down big time. I have the feeling now that the people that instagram is showing my post to in the first few minutes aren’t the right target group. How do I changes this?
Hi! Have you tried things like more proactive daily engagement, daily Stories, tools like ManyChat, posting consistently, switching up your content types etc? - C
Hi! Great content! Any idea how gifted product is handled. A big part of our strategy is to gift creators in return for content. These are not officially collabs, but we repost the great UGC people are creating for us. 🤔
Hi Mark, thanks for the kind words! The safest route there would be to request a collab post from the creators rather than just reposting their stuff. That way you're tapping in directly to each other's reach and avoiding any issues with original content - C
A lot of theme accounts add their own "stamps" or logo to the pictures they repost.
Without them specifying, my guess is that wouldn't be enough to count as "materially changed" - C
So are side by side remixes in or out?
In! - C
thanks for the updates!
You’re so welcome! - T
What of accounts that use stock videos for content like Faceless digital marketing accounts
They haven't clarified that as yet. If their process is consistent, they might credit whoever originally uploaded the stock photo/video as the original creator and everyone else may lose the engagement. Tough to tell as they haven't explained what "material changes" means exactly. Best bet would be to add music, voiceovers and text to everything to make it super unique - C
A quick question for brand pages. Am I right in thinking that if we carry on sharing several posts by our customers that promote our brand each day we will be penalised for this?
Hi! You're correct. We touched on it briefly in the video but the best bet as far as we can see is to try to arrange for collaboration posts with your audience. If someone shares something to their Stories, you can just reshare it to Stories with no issues. If someone shares something to their feeds, you can also share it to Stories with no problems - however, if you take that content and just post it on your feed, it'll get caught and your posts will be relegated to your followers only. I'd suggest remixing the post or adding a stitch to make it more unique. Hope that helps! - C
How about a post that’s are in collaboration tagged?
They’ve said collabs are all good! - T
So fake / dupe/ bot accounts should also be removed if taking content from original creators? I can see how it also addresses this 🙏
They should hopefully always be clearing those out, but at least they won’t grow now technically since the content will never be shown to new people (it’ll just be replaced with the original) so that will likely demotivate them. 🙏 - T
It's like I am looking at a young Robert De Niro here :)
Oh stop 😊 Appreciate you! - C
Is it still recommended to use trending reels music for own content or we need to use original audio only for better reach?
Trending audio always wins, so try to use that when you can. Otherwise things like Epidemic Sound are great - C
How do you think collaborations are affected? And how positive (or not positive) are collabotations in general?
Adam actually emphasized the value of collabs so they’ll likely be more important than ever, which is great for creators. Collabs have been one of our most impactful growth tactics for our client, we can’t overstate the value when the right partners get together. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you’re considering collabs! - T
How does this affect reposting to stores??
Hey! Re-uploads to feed posts appear to be the target here so we don’t anticipate Stories being any issue. - T
@Highseasonco this is great to know whew!
Here’s another version of stealing content that happens to me, people change the music on popular reels and then reposted.
Interesting. Not sure how that will work as they haven't spoken on it yet, but my guess is it will come under the original content issue - C
I am exactly the one that missed the boat years prior. I’ve been working on creating reels and this weekend I noticed increased in reach, I thought it was me 😂 this is great news! I have a professional account, can I switch it to a creator account without losing what I have so far? Can you convert followers into potential clients on a creator’s account?
Yes you absolutely can switch to a Creator account - a Professional Account is like the umbrella account that covers Creator or Business accounts, so you'll likely already be one or the other. You can convert followers into clients anywhere and anyhow, it's not so much about Instagram but about regular sales tactics - C
Shoot, it’s actually not a professional account what I have but rather a business account and yes my goal is to convert followers into clients, should I just leave it as a business account and just continue on posting and of course follow you? ❤
@@MrsPescado A Business account should also be a Professional Account, so it's mostly whether you want access to trending audio. It's fine either way, typically we suggest folks use a Creator account to get access to more features :) - C
❤thank you ❤
@@MrsPescado So welcome!
when all this will be implemented?
No word yet, they were vague and said "the coming months" so soon enough! - C
I think it should be stricter on theme an repost pages cuz I don't think it's fair that people just grab the best post from the actual creators an post it on their page then they get millions of follower an engagement because they literally just took all the best post for that genre an put it on their page but the people they took the actual post from Dont see any of that I think creators should go on strike like the writers did in Hollywood there's no reason a person who traces art should get more anything than the actual artist that did the work... it's ridiculous in my opinion...
Fair points! I guess this is their way of controlling that and making sure that original creators get the reach and engagement that they deserve - C
Is it better to have Personal or Creator account for organic growth, without pay ads??
It doesn't matter - whatever makes the most sense for your needs - C
So no aggregated but they want you to use remix?
That’s what they’re outlining! So technically curation can still happen the videos just need to be adjusted in a meaningful way. - T
I have theme account and support lots of photographer by crediting them. So am I doomed? My followers loves my content. I also find my content from out side of instagram too does that also included? 😢
Hi! I wouldn't say you're doomed, it'd just mean that you'd need to edit your content some more by either remixing the content you're sharing from other creators or adding stitches, voiceovers, text etc. If you're sharing things from outside of IG that have never been posted on IG, that should be fine - C
I wish instagram had hidden description text. I dont want to make my bio corny and unpleasing to look at
Completely get that. Technically you can leverage alt text and then keywords in your captions if you end up not going keyword dense in your bio. So that’s something. 🙏 - T
I create reels but I don’t use trending audio. Is that ok?
Definitely! It’s just an additional way to tap into reach but many accounts see success using music from elsewhere, especially when it’s a talking head video / podcast clip etc. You should be all good! - T
Upcoming U.S. legislation on TikTok is probably impacting what will be a host of updates and adjustments across other social media platforms
Yeah it's going to be super interesting to see where it goes! - C
Is it time to start from 0 with a new account, or keep trying and trying with small amount (less than 400 followers)?
Hi! It depends on if the account with >400 followers has been compromised in any way. If not, just keep going, keep testing new things. Instagram is a slow grind, it can takes many months or years to get where you want to go and it's all about consistent growth and always testing - C
@@Highseasonco Well, it looks like I tried so many different thing in my account. I have a lifestyle blog that is doing ok. It's a lifestyle blog for men, but I never managed to do well on Insta. Also I have noticed that on Reels as soon as I speak people stop watching. Maybe they don't like the French accent actually! Frustrating.I think it would be good to comment on how Reels performs. What is good considered good metrics what is not. Thanks for the reply.
Thank you holy shit
So welcome! - C
Business accounts don't have access to Trending Audio?
They do not, unfortunately, only Creator accounts - C
on mine i do but i did switch from creator to business… it might be a lil secret way to get it if you dont have it other wise but its there under pro dashboard-tips & resources
Wow let him talk tooii
Lol he’s fine.
So remixes count as content that's getting reach taken away ?
No! Remixing content goes around the change; as long as it's "materially different" than the original video, you're fine - C
@@Highseasonco ok great thanks
but the update has already come out right?
Not as yet - they said it'd be a few months away, so they're preparing us - C
@@Highseasonco thank youuu
Hey High Season Co. , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
Say a large platform reposts a video from a small creator 300 followers. When the big page say The Source reposts it. It blows up the creators video too especially if the music is from a trending artist. It goes viral bec everyone reposts the same funny video. So without the large page, how can a really small page go viral?
Good point. The larger pages help for sure, however I'd say the vast majority of people won't ever even look at the original creator of a video; they just follow the theme page. I know that's how we both operate, and I'd guess most people are the same. So while it might help some creators, I'd say it's very few and far between and these changes should help out the smaller folks some more - C
@@Highseasonco I think it could be the niche. My niche is funny memes with hip hop and RnB music. Also dancing videos. When people like a particular wife/husband duo who dance or do funny skits. They tend to follow the originator. This thing with music is really big. That’s how I got over half the people I follow. 90’s hiphop and certain age groups it’s like a community where I see a lot of us following the same creators.
@@rhondafromupstateny If you add a stitch to it or remix the original with something added (voiceover, reaction, etc), then you can keep sharing from other creators and stay within the new guidelines - C
@@Highseasonco Ty😊
I am locked out of IG would yall be able to help??
Hi, you'd be best to either follow IG Help or verify your personal FB account to access Meta Verified support - C
What if I repost my own content?
Great question - they haven't specified but worst case, the metrics still goes to you - C
@@Highseasonco Itd be sad if i reposted something i posted on my own channel only to be shadowbanned cuz i preciously posted it lol
@@Noealz You wouldn't be shadowbanned, it'd just attribute the engagement back to you. But now I think of it, that wouldn't make sense, so logically they must have something in the system that allows for people to repost their own original content. They haven't announced anything like that just yet but hopefully soon - C
Great news but they need to start paying us back for all of our hard work.
This kinda feels like that's what they're trying to do - C
The Most Annoying Thing About This Is For People That Aren’t Creators, A Lot Of Us Don’t Want To See Content From People We Don’t Follow, So Forcing Recommendations From Randoms Will Piss People Off.
I get it. Most social feeds (FB, IG, X, etc) all show suggested posts now, so it's definitely not something new. The only really new thing is the original creator of a viral video will get pushed instead of the meme page - C
i just use a ton of hashtags
Definitely worth being more selective - C
@@Highseasonco I also tag the person I’m running the page on in post
