You’ve probably heard about Instagram’s latest feature, “Reels”. These are 15-30 second videos in the same style as TikTok videos. You can add music, text, and effects. Reels are giving users an INSANE amount of exponential growth on Instagram. So, now is the time to jump in!
A little over a month ago I joined a 30 Day Reels Challenge. Each day I was emailed a prompt that I could use to spark creativity. It was the best decision I could have made for a brand new Instagram account (20 followers at the start of the challenge).
Within the first 2 weeks of using Reels I got 56k views on ONE reel.
Here are some more results:
260 new followers
2k views on multiple Reels
Over 56k on ONE Reel
Acquired new customers
Made friends with fellow entrepreneurs
Added new subscribers to email list
Learned about a dozen new tips for creating Social content
Others in the challenge had their Reels featured by Instagram and ended up with over 1 Million Views! The results are pretty astounding and all signs point to this… you should be using Reels!
If you want more confidence, more creativity, and more engagement, then I highly recommend Bree and Natasha’s incredible step by step resources for creating Reels.
During the challenge, I also created Instagram Reels Templates to speed up my process and have cover images consistent with my branding. You can grab those Instagram Reels Templates here.
