As we speak we’re going to speak about methods to do social media advertising on Instagram.
First, I’m going to share the most popular technique for Instagram that’s working like loopy proper now. Subsequent, I’m going to leap into what used to work….it truly used to work very well however not works. (We’re going to cowl a pair issues there.) Lastly, I’m going to offer you my prompt general Instagram advertising plan.
What’s the most popular technique for Instagram?
You might have guessed it, however the hottest advertising technique for Instagram proper now with out a query is Instagram reels, no query, proper? They’re crushing it. They’re making it occur. However there’s been some nuances over the past couple years of what’s working a lot better proper now versus what used to work. Instagram Reels is principally their model of TikTok. TikTok did two actually cool issues when it got here out. One, to introduce the idea of simply tremendous brief movies, proper? 10 second, 20 second, 30 second movies. You are able to do longer ones on there, however the majority of consumption is these brief movies. Additionally they did one thing that actually rattled the social media world, which is that they rolled out a completely completely different algorithm.
I didn’t plan on doing TikTok to be sincere. I had certainly one of my good associates and purchasers, he stated, “Hey, man, I obtained lots of people crushing it on TikTok, they’re making some huge cash over there. It’s worthwhile to study it as a result of I like the best way you educate….and I would like you to show my folks.“
I’m like, “Okay, nicely inform me about it, who’s crushing it?”
I believed he meant that current influencers had been going over there and crushing it. That’s not what he meant. He meant that individuals that had been struggling over on Fb, not making a lot cash, went over to TikTok and Instagram and swiftly they’re being profitable and crushing it and constructing followings. That’s once I knew I needed to study it. As a result of my job is to assist folks at each stage of expertise, create a greater life, make more cash, and so on. So if I hear of one thing that’s serving to common, on a regular basis, unusual folks make more cash and get extra publicity, I’ve to study, that’s simply a part of my enterprise mannequin.
I’m going over to TikTok, begin studying it and the best way that the algorithm works over there may be whether or not you’re an influencer or have an enormous following or have a giant model or not, they’re taking your content material they usually’re exhibiting it to folks that they assume will just like the content material, whether or not they know you or not. That’s very completely different as a result of Fb…and I’m not speaking about Fb reels, however should you have a look at Fb as a complete, they are going to should you submit one thing, yay, it’s my birthday or no matter, proper? When you submit one thing on Fb, you’ll by no means have 100% of the folks that you simply’re truly associates with see it, it’ll by no means occur. It’ll present it to some folks after which you recognize, if it will get appreciated and stuff, they’ll present it to some extra, however they’ll by no means present it to even 100% of individuals such as you they usually’ll by no means share it to folks that don’t know you until certainly one of your pals truly shares it. That’s how Tik Tok utterly modified the sport with that and so everybody has discovered from that…Instagram reels study from it, Fb reels are studying from it.
So with Instagram reels, you do have an opportunity, an excellent likelihood should you persistently are posting Instagram reels that you simply’ll get folks that don’t know you to see your content material. Now, that tackles a quite common difficulty that individuals have of “oh, I’ve already reached out to all of the folks that I do know…” I’m saying should you’re wanting to make use of Instagram for social media advertising, you’re promoting one thing and also you’re hoping that you would be able to get in entrance of folks that know you but additionally in entrance of folks that don’t know you….Instagram reels are a good way to try this as a result of they copied lots of stuff from TikTok, which is nice.
Now we’ve got YouTube shorts, to not introduce one thing new right here, nevertheless it’s form of their model of TikTok. Doing these Instagram reels, the query is, okay, what sort of content material what we’ve seen, I’ve seen two issues that work very well that anybody can do. Anybody can do that, proper? Two several types of content material.
Primary, is the profit play. What’s the advantage of your services or products? Is it that somebody will get to sleep higher? Is it that they reduce weight? Is it that they’ve extra power? Is it that they generate income or they lower your expenses? Like what’s it… they’ve a greater relationship? Are they happier? Simply demonstrating that in a brief video.
Right here’s an instance. If I used to be promoting one thing that was that assist with sleep, proper a CBD or melatonin or no matter, proper? If I used to be promoting one thing that needed to do with sleep and getting higher sleep, I’d be doing Instagram reels that might present like a scene one, I’d be laying down and I’d get up and I’m agitated and my hair’s all messy and perhaps I punch the alarm clock. I’d in all probability go to Goodwill and get an affordable alarm clock simply to smash it with a hammer on digicam. I wish to make one thing that’s going to get consideration. So scene one I get up agitated.
Scene 2, I get up, and I’m going to place birds within the background. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, proper? I’m going to flutter my eyes. I’m so rested and feeling incredible and I might need texts that say, lastly I discovered one thing that helped my sleep. Thank God. If my goal market…anybody in my goal market watches that, who struggles with sleep? Are they going to remark? In fact they’re. They’re going to say, “what do you do? How do you do that? I would like sleep….” proper? You are able to do that with something you are able to do. You recognize, perhaps it’s you sitting within the kitchen, should you promote one thing round weight reduction, and also you’re sitting within the kitchen, you’re taking a look at your plate, and it’s obtained a mini carrot on it, perhaps a mini corn and a slice of tomato that’s tiny, and also you’re taking a look at it and your stomachs grumbling and also you’re ravenous after which that scene one and scene two is, you recognize, you simply got here out of the kitchen, you’re feeling incredible. And also you’re like, lastly discovered a weight loss plan that works. Somebody that’s battling weight reduction or battling calorie restriction, they’re going to ask you. Now discover, I didn’t say go right here to purchase. I didn’t say the identify of the weight loss plan. I didn’t say right here’s the capsule I take. I’m creating curiosity by way of these brief movies, and persons are going to remark, I promise you, that’s the primary kind of profit play.
Quantity two is the overcomer. Now, are there issues that you simply’ve overcome in life? It doesn’t need to have something to do essentially together with your services or products, however with the kind of particular person you’re making an attempt to draw? Have you ever overcome divorce? Have you ever overcome smoking? Have you ever ever misplaced weight? Take into consideration what you’ve overcome. Monetary hardships? When you’re keen to be susceptible, are there traumatic occasions, and also you’ll see should you see my Instagram reels, I imply, I share lots on there, I share that I grew up in a really abusive dwelling, I used to be lifeless broke, I went by way of foreclosures…I share my downs. Right here’s the important thing. Individuals are cool together with your up’s, in the event that they’re conscious of your downs. See too many individuals do that the fallacious approach they usually solely present their ups, proper. They solely present their spotlight reel and a few folks is not going to like that. That’s cool. To begin with, not everybody has spotlight reels, however not everybody’s going to resonate with that. Extra folks resonate should you’re keen to share your downs, they’ll be cool together with your ups.
The profit play and the overcomer, these are your two greatest performs on the most popular advertising technique on Instagram.
I’d love to listen to from you.
Okay, earlier than I get to my subsequent two factors, I’d love to listen to from you. What are you doing on Instagram that’s working for you? Or what’s it that you simply’re making an attempt? What do you assume is working for you? I’d love to listen to from you. I’m all the time open to new options. I learn and reply to each single remark.
What doesn’t work on Instagram now?
Okay, so there are a number of issues on Instagram that used to work, that not work.
Primary, hashtags simply aren’t as highly effective as they was once. I don’t know the way a lot they have an effect on issues however they undoubtedly are usually not like they was once, that’s a truth.
Quantity two, my good buddy Brock Johnson says that sq. posts are not working practically as nicely. You wish to use the total size of what you possibly can placed on Instagram.
Quantity three, (this one stung) Instagram reels has reels play the place they’ll pay you based mostly on the quantity of views your reels are getting. Once we obtained authorized for that program (I believe you must be at a sure follower quantity) however after we obtained authorized for that….however this is applicable whether or not you’re on reels play or not (simply so you recognize) after we figured that out and we obtained authorized for that program on the time, what was working very well was taking different folks’s Instagram reels, giving them credit score and reposting in your account. I’d discover an superior one by Kanye West. I appreciated it. I don’t agree with all their selections, nevertheless it was an excellent one, I discovered one with Michael Jordan and I discovered one with Denzel Washington. I’m taking the Instagram reel that has already been shared and giving credit score linking again however sharing that and by doing that I look and we had been making virtually $10,000 a month simply in reel play from the tremendous widespread movies. It was loopy. It was superior. It’s like not promoting something, simply free cash. However we’re additionally getting a ton I imply, I had a number of get 3 million, 4 million, 5 million views which is superior. However they don’t like that anymore, so don’t do it. They don’t prefer it regardless that I used to be giving it credit score, they’ve a difficulty with it. I obtained a pair warnings on my account. I personally wouldn’t do this. Possibly you’ll get away with it however I’d simply watch out doing that, should you resolve to offer it a go.
Hashtags, repurposing different folks’s Instagram reels and utilizing the sq. submit, these are three of the larger issues which have actually modified with Instagram these days.
Instagram Marking Plan.
Final however not least, let me provide you with what I’d counsel as a terrific Instagram advertising plan. To begin with, we all know reels. Reels are the deal, proper? When you’re making an attempt to develop a enterprise and also you’re making an attempt to actually crush it, I wouldn’t be doing a minimal two to a few Instagram reels per day.
I’d even be doing two to a few Instagram lives per week. Now one factor you are able to do to have a terrific dwell, is yow will discover somebody who additionally has a pleasant following and do a duet with them, do an Instagram Stay and invite them to an interview. Very highly effective approach so that you can have extra attain. I’ve interviewed among the most superb folks. When you have a look at my Instagram account, it’s simply @rayhigdon. I’ve some unimaginable interviews there. I imply, we had my good buddy, Stormy Wellington, she spoke at our occasion in October. We had like 7-800 folks dwell with us. It was superior. It was so cool. I’d be doing two to a few Instagram reels per day. Now, does that imply you must shoot them that day? No, lots of occasions, I’ll go forward and batch 20 or 25 of these little brief movies, after which I’ll simply drip them out over time.
All proper, don’t get it twisted right here. When you’re already deciding I’m doing two to a few Instagram reels a day, that doesn’t imply don’t do any. Proper. It’s form of just like the health club, is it higher to go to the health club as soon as per week or by no means in any respect. Higher to go as soon as a day should you can. However should you can’t, it’s nonetheless higher to go when you possibly can however my suggestion is 2 to a few per day, two to a few Instagram lives per week and be sure to’re posting in your tales as nicely.
Now one factor about tales is strangers don’t see your tales. Solely folks which might be already following you see your tales, however these three issues proper there, which isn’t a full time deal. It shouldn’t take you ceaselessly, that might drastically enhance the folks following you and the content material that you’ve got and the likes and all of the engagement.
