I feel like the only times my reels get views is when I do trendy reels and it bores me! But when I make original content it doesn’t get a lot of engagement views or likes
That's my same sentiment. Unfortunately for me, I'm a boho retailer, so trying to fit into a trending sound takes away the integrity of my boho, hippie, 70's throwback theme and audience. It's a catch 22 (whatever that means) I can make some trending videos but my demographic target will not be part of that.
But maybe Instagram really wants to see more entertainment than retailers (makes sense) after all that is the essence of Instagram.
Same with me 😒
And when people like my trendy reels it's because of the trend and not my content
So guilty of scrolling until I find a trending audio or template- you have called me out! Thank you so much for spelling it out in such a firm but understanding way. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
I'm here so early to this! I appreciate your take on posting purposefully instead of checking off a "consistency" box; it makes such a difference! Also, I love the rewritten titles for better engagement and curiosity. It's wild how tweaking them can do wonders for your content. Thank you, as always, for your video!
Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful especially the examples 💗 Checking out your notion template right now also. Ive been planning now on mainly a combo of word and excel but really want it in one platform. Thanks again!
Circling back to this video. I applied this to my latest ones and saw a massive increase in views , saves, and followers. I’m a smaller account so it helped. Thanks Katie! Love your content!
Thanks so much Katie for the great advice! 😄 Only a couple minutes into the video you already got me feeling inspired to go record! 💕👏
Katie this video gave me so much to think about!!! Thank you for putting this together, you’re advice is dope!
My absolute favorite youtube. Super simple tips and very in-dept explanations always! Thank you so much!!
The Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew from Starbucks is literally LIFE GIVING! They put that pumpkin cold foam on top! I'll have to try an ice PSL with the cold foam next
Katie, could you please create a few videos that are ‘selling product’ focused? Love all your content & advice, just figuring out how to apply when selling a handmade product.. 🤔 TIA 😊
Your videos are so informative, love to watch them ❤
Yeah I need to work on my reels and shorts ❤ thanks for all the advise! 🎉
All of this is gold! Totally makes sense letting the viewer know the outcome for the hooks
You’re the best!! I found this super helpful. Thank you 😊
I’m drinking a latte that I made with my Nespresso machine at home, except I use coffee pods and I mix white mocha syrup with caramel vanilla cream syrup. All sugar free and it’s fantastic. ♥️
Question for you Katie!!! Are you able to use all available audios on your Instagram reels? I run a business profile for a client, and I am stuck will all the ugly copyright free sounds. Any fixes for this??
Your videos are very useful, thanks I love em.
Great content as always Katie! Love your free Thinkific course too 😍
It sounds so simple when you say it 🙈 Do you offer one on one consulting for reels? I think it would really help me to hear it from your perspective.
Missed where you said it was free, signed up and then had to double back to check 😊🙌TY!
#3 was very helpful!
Thanks for the great advice!!❤
I am drinking a coffee I made in my backpacking French press in Togo, West Africa! With peak (canned evaporated milk) and wild African honey that I bought on the roadside 🤤 🍯
What is the ratio that you would suggest for original vs. trend based reels?
My reels now in these days dont even pass 20 views, dont understand why.
Hello, which is the phone tripod you're using please ?
Your content always provides me with much needed revelations so THANK YOU
love the Sunday Studio b roll !! ugh missss that spaceeee
Very good video! I think the root problem is that business owners simply don’t have the time or can’t perceive the payoff of putting so much effort into reels because of all the flops. Going to try these tips out next week.
Right I think these tips don’t apply to business owners really. Instagram is more for content creators and influencers it seems. I’m hearing that we shouldn’t rely on social media to spur up business. It’s a hard balance.
I am so frustrated because I was doing great and I could’ve been in a whole different place nowadays but took two years off of social media for my mental health because it was consuming the life out of me. Now I’m back at it and my videos are getting 10 views at most. Paying for boosters and still won’t pass the 40 views mark… I’m staying within my niche and it is so frustrating
Instagram is the worst they push super superficial reels like someone posting 2 sec holding a coffee ! Like wow so motivating to me a creator or business on Instagram lmao
Seriously????? I am so frustrated with this too!!!! Why are 2 sec vids getting 1M views lmao
I feel like this info should not be free 😂 But thank you so much for being on youtube and sharing these golden nuggets of info with everyone!!
Alright, it’s time for me to grab some coffee😅 great tips!! Thank you!
I started making #vanlife content only about 6 months ago, I was lucky and had a viral reel (on insta and fb) right away, and then my handful of other reels all did well also, in the tens and hundreds of thousands of views.
Then My cat died and I didn’t make any content for months.
This past week I started again and posted a couple reels and they completely FLOPPED. Like barely even reaching my followers, maybe a couple hundred views. I feel like the algorithm gods are punishing me lol
Do you think I’ll ever recover from the hiatus I took? I’m trying to not be discouraged, but, here we are..
YES LICKING THE FOAM OFF THE LID IS THE BEST PART!
How do you know what's "mediocre"? as opposed to what's good? It's hard to know what Instagram considers "good".
I dont know if you have a lot of viewrs interested in this but can you make a video talking about social media growth for entertainers? I’m a musician and I’m trying to grow an audience that likes the same things I like rather than ask them to listen to me sing. Do you have any tips for this type of content?
Cuz I think for example hooks, solutions and teaching things in a “lifestyle/entertainer content” isnt the best route but id love your take on it!!
Thanks again ❤❤❤ 5:48
I just had a Ginger Tea. As I am from India, lot of people prefer to have tea in evening and in winters you can say Tea is love for every Indian.
You should also try once and do let me know if you like it or not?
One thing Katie is going to do is read me down 😂! The great thing is I’m learning and receiving the information 🙏🏾.
That’s me! Trends don’t work for my brands. Thank you
My AI Art Reels aren't even get one or two likes at most. And less than 10 views. Ive tried different times of uploading them. Didnt help. I dont see how others get 1000+ views.
I swear I've tried everything. I can't crack high numbers at all. Such a struggle for my business.
My account is full of people who are basically my friends and my niche is filmmaking and they are nit really interested 😂
PSL season! 🍂🍁🍂
EXACTLYYYYYYYY
what if i don’t have views at all? I have good quality video and using trendy audios
ok question! I know you’ve said quantity over quality for RUclips. In this video you said don’t just post for the sake of consistency. Where’s the middle ground? Is it just for RUclips vs Reels? I’m confused 🆘
it's honestly a tough balance! because essentially to grow on any platform these days (youtube, reels, or tiktok) you need to do both quality AND quantity. which is why it's so difficult and a ton of work. It's important to keep both at equal priority and not lean too far one way or the other, or part of your strategy will suffer
i just drank starbucks for the first time (at 24 years old) and i really wanted to try psl so i got it without knowing its coffee. i hate coffee💀 i thought it would be like a matcha latte with no coffee lmao
Come to Nepal make more videos then you will viral sure 💯❤
Tbh my seasonal drink is a protein shake 😭
I had a pink drink and now I have a cappuccino.
Or less
I normally have a Fiji water with me
I’m stuck on 0 views lol
She said 200 views im struggling with getting any views really 😂😂😂well I did just start a new account so that can be a reason too
My reels are getting zero views the Instagram gods hate me😂
I am stuck at 20 views 😂
Smashed “Like” just because Katie licked the lid. I, too, am a fellow lid licker.
I usually like and comment after I finish a video…but…today, I smashed (and commented) early. 💜👅🥤🧋
