Instagram Story Hacks
2 Instagram Story tricks you didn't know yet
In this video, we’ll show you 2 Instagram Story tricks that you can use to enhance your Story. On the one hand, you will be able to apply the Boomerang effect afterwards and on the other hand, you will be able to get more views on your Instagram reels through Stories.
Instagram Story Hacks - #1 Live Photos
Want to do a story and can’t decide before shooting whether to do a Boomerang or post a simple photo? Or you have already taken a photo and now you want to have a Boomerang, but the moment has already passed? To prevent this from happening to you again in the future, we have a simple trick. In this case, simply use the Live Photos function on your smartphone. If you post the live photo to your Instagram story, you can easily turn it into a Boomerang afterwards. To do this, open the live photo in the Instagram Story and hold your finger down on the screen for a few seconds. This is how the photo turns into a boomerang. You can now edit it a little bit and then post it. This way, you’ll make sure you never miss a moment you’d rather post as a Boomerang in hindsight. Moreover, photos taken directly with the smartphone, i.e. not in Instagram’s app, are still a bit sharper.
Instagram Story Hacks - #1 Instagram Reels
Our second tip is related to Instagram Reels. Whether you create reels frequently or only occasionally, there’s no getting around reels to succeed on Instagram in 2021. If you post your reels in your story and your followers watch this story for more than 5 seconds, then this view counts not only for your story, but also for your reel. So this way you not only make sure that your followers don’t miss your reel, but you also make sure that it gets views at the same time, because only through views and early engagement it is currently possible to get on the Explore Page to reach new followers. For example, if you get an average of 1000 views for your stories, make sure your reels also get 1000 views easily.
Extend Instagram Reels
You can also use an additional hack here. When you put your reel in the story, you can create a text or a poll at the same time, so that the 5 seconds watch time is also fulfilled. It is even possible to hide the reel behind a completely different image. This way you can post your reel multiple times in the story without annoying your followers. The reel then runs in the background and gets views at a watchtime of 5 sec without your followers noticing. This way you can influence the success of your reel and make sure it gets the views it needs to hit the ground running. So you are not solely dependent on the algorithm, but can also contribute something to the success. Keep in mind that the time after a reel is posted is responsible for its success on Instagram and determines whether or not it makes it to the Explore Page.
