At present we’ll dive into the way to use Instagram for social media advertising and marketing.
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 really used to work rather 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 and marketing plan.
What’s the most popular technique for Instagram?
You could have guessed it, however the hottest advertising and marketing technique for Instagram proper now and not using a query is Instagram reels, no query, proper? They’re crushing it. They’re making it occur. However there’s been some nuances during the last couple years of what’s working a lot better proper now versus what used to work. Instagram Reels is mainly 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 basically 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 pals and purchasers, he stated, “Hey, man, I acquired lots of people crushing it on TikTok, they’re making some huge cash over there. You should study it as a result of I like the way in which you educate….and I need you to show my folks.“
I’m like, “Okay, properly inform me about it, who’s crushing it?”
I believed he meant that present influencers have been going over there and crushing it. That’s not what he meant. He meant that folks that have been struggling over on Fb, not making a lot cash, went over to TikTok and Instagram and impulsively they’re earning profits 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, odd folks make more cash and get extra publicity, I’ve to study, that’s simply a part of my enterprise mannequin.
I am going over to TikTok, begin studying it and the way in which that the algorithm works over there’s whether or not you’re an influencer or have an enormous following or have an enormous model or not, they’re taking your content material and so they’re exhibiting it to people who they suppose 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 in the event you take a look at Fb as an entire, they may in the event you submit one thing, yay, it’s my birthday or no matter, proper? For those who submit one thing on Fb, you’ll by no means have 100% of the folks that you simply’re really pals 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 and so they’ll by no means share it to people who don’t know you except certainly one of your mates really shares it. That’s how Tik Tok utterly modified the sport with that and so everybody has realized from that…Instagram reels study from it, Fb reels are studying from it.
So with Instagram reels, you do have an opportunity, an excellent probability in the event you constantly are posting Instagram reels that you simply’ll get people who don’t know you to see your content material. Now, that tackles a quite common situation that folks have of “oh, I’ve already reached out to all of the people who I do know…” I’m saying in the event you’re wanting to make use of Instagram for social media advertising and marketing, you’re promoting one thing and also you’re hoping that you may get in entrance of people who know you but in addition in entrance of people who don’t know you….Instagram reels are a good way to do this as a result of they copied loads of stuff from TikTok, which is nice.
Now we now have YouTube shorts, to not introduce one thing new right here, however 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 rather well that anybody can do. Anybody can do that, proper? Two several types of content material.
Primary, is the profit play. What’s the good thing about your services or products? Is it that somebody will get to sleep higher? Is it that they shed weight? Is it that they’ve extra power? Is it that they earn a living 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 will 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 possibly 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 digital camera. I need 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 unbelievable and I may 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? After all 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. , possibly it’s you sitting within the kitchen, in the event you promote one thing round weight reduction, and also you’re sitting within the kitchen, you’re your plate, and it’s acquired a mini carrot on it, possibly a mini corn and a slice of tomato that’s tiny, and also you’re 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 unbelievable. And also you’re like, lastly discovered a weight loss program that works. Somebody that’s combating weight reduction or combating calorie restriction, they’re going to ask you. Now discover, I didn’t say go right here to purchase. I didn’t say the title of the weight loss program. I didn’t say right here’s the tablet I take. I’m creating curiosity by these brief movies, and individuals 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 along 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? For those who’re prepared to be weak, are there traumatic occasions, and also you’ll see in the event you see my Instagram reels, I imply, I share quite a bit on there, I share that I grew up in a really abusive house, I used to be useless broke, I went by foreclosures…I share my downs. Right here’s the important thing. Persons are cool along with your up’s, in the event that they’re conscious of your downs. See too many individuals do that the fallacious manner and so they solely present their ups, proper. They solely present their spotlight reel and a few folks won’t 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 in the event you’re prepared to share your downs, they’ll be cool along with your ups.
The profit play and the overcomer, these are your two finest performs on the most popular advertising and marketing 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 suppose 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 understand how a lot they have an effect on issues however they undoubtedly are usually not like they was once, that’s a reality.
Quantity two, my good buddy Brock Johnson says that sq. posts are not working almost as properly. You need 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 primarily based on the quantity of views your reels are getting. After we acquired authorised for that program (I believe it’s a must to be at a sure follower quantity) however once we acquired authorised for that….however this is applicable whether or not you’re on reels play or not (simply so you recognize) once we figured that out and we acquired authorised for that program on the time, what was working rather 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, however it was a superb 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 have been making virtually $10,000 a month simply in reel play from the tremendous fashionable 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 despite the fact that I used to be giving it credit score, they’ve a difficulty with it. I acquired a pair warnings on my account. I personally wouldn’t try this. Possibly you’ll get away with it however I’d simply watch out doing that, in the event 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 an ideal Instagram advertising and marketing plan. To begin with, we all know reels. Reels are the deal, proper? For those who’re making an attempt to develop a enterprise and also you’re making an attempt to essentially crush it, I wouldn’t be doing a minimal two to 3 Instagram reels per day.
I’d even be doing two to 3 Instagram lives per week. Now one factor you are able to do to have an ideal dwell, is yow will discover somebody who additionally has a pleasant following and do a duet with them, do an Instagram Reside and invite them to an interview. Very highly effective manner so that you can have extra attain. I’ve interviewed among the most superb folks. For those who take 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 3 Instagram reels per day. Now, does that imply it’s a must to shoot them that day? No, loads of instances, 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. For those who’re already deciding I’m doing two to 3 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 every week or by no means in any respect. Higher to go as soon as a day in the event you can. However in the event you can’t, it’s nonetheless higher to go when you possibly can however my suggestion is 2 to 3 per day, two to 3 Instagram lives per week and be sure to’re posting in your tales as properly.
Now one factor about tales is strangers don’t see your tales. Solely folks which are already following you see your tales, however these three issues proper there, which isn’t a full time deal. It shouldn’t take you endlessly, that will drastically improve the folks following you and the content material that you’ve and the likes and all of the engagement.
