Here are some things you may have forgotten about you could do on Instagram that are little hacks that I think go a long way.

1. Get your message seen wider: If an audio or sound shows up as “unavailable” or “original” you can rename it and add a Call To Action (CTA) or any message you want your community to see like an important date or a last call

2. Make Reels faster: You can find templates for your Reels inside of the Reels editing tab and organize them by trending, suggested, saved and recommended.

To find them go to the Reels icon → tap on the Camera icon in the top right hand corner → and you’ll see “templates” on the bottom

3. Start filming away from your phone: Gesture control inside of Reels lets you raise your hand to begin recording.

4. Stay on top of trends and create Reels without thinking all day about them: I curate the best sounds every Sunday night. Make sure that you subscribe to my Trending and Early to Trend Audio subscription so that you get the freshest sounds to your email every Monday.

We curate a list for both Instagram and TikTok to speed up your content creation and increase your reach. You can get it here for 30 days FREE and then it’s just $20 a month.  

You’ll get ideas as well as be able to sort by length and keywords making it easier than ever to get your sound, add your B-Roll and move on!

5. No need to film anymore: Find yourself stuck for B-Roll or video footage in general? I love Haute Stock for their library of vertical videos (Instagram friendly!) and suppppper aesthetic photos. Save 15% off your subscription using my affiliate link here.
