How to Create the Perfect Reels

Reels are a popular tool of our present and likely a trend that will not cease to exist in the near future. There are a number of hacks you can use to create the perfect reels on Instagram which we will list down below.

Done right, reels can grow your brand and business faster than you would expect, but again it has to be done right.

We have put together a list of hacks that you can use the next time you create an Instagram Reel. These hacks will help your reels stand out and congruently bring more viewers your way.

-Have you noticed how often we speak of having a “creative content”? Well, here we are again with the first reel hack. Your content needs to be educating and interesting all at once with a personal twist that identifies your brand and company.

-Ensure that your videos have adequate subtitles as most viewers will watch reels with sound turned off. Make sure they get the message loud and clear even in silence. Add captions and subtitles to all your reels.

-Remove watermarks from recycled videos, such as the ones used on TikTok, Snapchat or any other apps that may have their own watermark. Instagram will not display videos that have watermarks from other apps.

-Don’t make your captions too long so as your viewers don’t have to click on the “more” button. Clicking on the “more” button takes attention away from the real focus of your video.

-Keep your reels real. Be genuine with your message and let it be clear cut, focused and easy to grasp.

-Select a good background preferably something neutral and not bothersome to the viewer’s eyes.

-Keep your reels up to date with the latest trends. Find ways to include these trends in your videos without making it the actual focus.

-Review and edit your video as many times as necessary. Check your video’s quality and your captions’ grammar because once it goes viral there’s no rectifying it.

-Don’t forget your hashtags. Hashtags will help your videos reach a wider audience, especially when you are using the appropriate keywords.

-Always share your videos on your Instagram stories so that your followers don’t miss it.

-Add music to your reels. Select preset music from the Instagram Library or simply add your own. Finding the right music to go with your message can be quite challenging, so take your time.
