Reels
If you're not doing Reels, you're basically invisible on Instagram right now. I'm not even exaggerating. Instagram's algorithm massively favors Reels over static posts because they're competing with TikTok and need to keep users engaged with video.
Reels are short vertical videos up to 90 seconds, and they're the best organic reach opportunity on Instagram. Even tiny accounts can hit tens of thousands of views with Reels that resonate. The algorithm doesn't care about your follower count—it cares if people watch, engage, and share.
Creating effective Reels isn't rocket science but it does require understanding the format. Hook people in the first second or they scroll. Use trending audio (the algorithm pushes content using popular sounds). Keep it fast-paced—attention spans are nonexistent. Add captions because lots of people watch without sound. And for the love of god, film vertical. You can't just repurpose TikToks with the watermark showing. Instagram knows and will throttle your reach. Record native Reels or at least hide the TikTok watermark. Services offering Reel views help that initial momentum. If your Reel gets strong early engagement, the algorithm tests it on bigger audiences. More views, more engagement, more reach. Snowball effect. But the Reel itself still needs to be good.
