Welp we all know how fast things move in the online space…
So today I thought it’d be fun to bring you some systems tips to make Reels easier, efficient and more fun – RAPID FIRE STYLE!!
- Save content ideas somewhere – this can be your phone’s notes app, in Asana (my preference!). Or even on a good ol’ fashioned sticky note!
- Trending music helps bump your reel to more peeps!
- Shoot / film first & edit later!! ** Always save your video to your phone so you don’t lose it!
- Place your text towards the “middle” of the screen so it shows up even if people are scrolling through the normal “non-reels” feed
- BATCH RECORD YOUR REELS!!!!! This is the biggest time-saving tip – I usually will pull out 3-4 tops and record multiple reels in EACH top on ONE afternoon so I’m set with content for multiple weeks at a time!
- You can “SAVE” other peoples’ reels as Inspiration on Instagram so you never run out of ideas!
- “Done is better than perfect” is my motto – I try not to let perfection suck the FUN out of making reels!
- Keep your reels content related to your main/ideal audience! I’ve noticed the algorithm loves when you do this!
- Be unabashedly authentically you!! TikTok and Reels have blown up because people are craving authenticity & realness online these days! Don’t be afraid to break out of the mold and what’s super “on brand” for you!
- Share your Reels to your stories!!! You can even share old reels to your stories each week to increase the engagement on them & repurpose your content (aka save alllllll the time!)
Be sure to tag me on Instagram @manalisontakke if you create a new Reel or reshare an old one so I can comment & share it as well!
And hit reply and let me know if you have one tip that’s helped you up your video game!
