How to Ace your Reel Game?

How to Ace your Reel Game?

By Lizanne J Lyngdoh

Reels took the world by storm in the middle of lockdown, still have been continuously doing so until now and we are all here for them.

They are the newest way to discover and create exciting videos full of entertainment. Reels are the 2022 version of Vine where users can create quickly and effortlessly on the go.

Many brands look out for one thing and one thing only–engagement. Reels are the best way to acquire that because of how in they are right now.

Whether you have a thousand followers or ten, here are some quick easy steps to stay on top of the game of reels:

  • Be consistent – As weird as it sounds, the algorithm favors quantity over quality; this means that the more you post, the better your reels will do. Engagement depends on your followers but the only way your reels will show up on people’s feeds is if you post regularly.
  • Share Share Share! – It is not enough to just post; be sure to promote your reels. You can do so by sharing to your stories and to your friends and family. Tip: ask your followers to share your reels on their stories so that your audience can grow larger.
  • #Hashtags – For maximum reach, use trending hashtags. Research trending hashtags and add them to your captions as they help people who are looking for similar reels find your particular one! Use different hashtags for different posts and watch the magic begin to happen.
  • Use trending audios – Just like your friends, audios for your reels should be chosen wisely. If you use a song that is at #1 of the audio list, chances of your reel showing up on the discover page are higher than using a sound no one has ever heard of.
  • 5 second rule – Every reel has a 5 second chance of grabbing someone’s attention so make those 5 seconds count! Start off with a banger so that people will stay till the end of your reel.
  • Cover photos – Reels can have a customized cover photo that shows up on your profile grid. Create eye-catching cover photos so that people tap on your reel! Include big and bright texts to make it easier for your followers to navigate through your feed.
  • Trial and error – There will be times when your reels will not do as well as you would like them to; this is where trial and error comes into play. Experiment with your content, think outside the box, be extraordinary; all these things will eventually help you find what works best for you.

Reels are arguably the smartest way in today’s world to promote your brand. With time, familiarity, and the usage of the steps mentioned above, your journey of creating reels will be a smooth sailing one.

These are some of the most popular forms of photography and a good start into your journey with your camera.
