How To Grow On IG Using Stories
This one might come off a little (or maybe extra) shocking to some of you, but it is time to uncover the truth! Did you know that when someone views your Reel on your Story, it impacts your Reel's performance? Let us rephrase this a little: when someone views your Reel on your Story, THOSE VIEWS COUNT ON YOUR REEL!! And the best part? Your viewers don’t even have to click on the Reel or interact with it in any way. You can significantly increase your views by simply sharing your Reel to your Story!
Now, you might be wondering: “How do I increase my Story views on IG?” We hear people saying that their IG Stories don't get too many views or their Story engagement has suddenly dropped. In this blog post, we will share a few tips to help you increase your Story views (which will ultimately help you grow on IG!).
Add CTA stickers - links/polls/reactions/sliding stickers/countdowns
Try to post during your best times - if you know that you get low views at 5 pm, wait until your audience is online
If nothing is helping, try not posting anything for 24 hours, and then share your first story (ideally - something either eye-catching or with a poll/sticker)
Instagram’s algorithm will monitor how many people reacted/engaged with your stories - the more followers engaged with your story, the more people IG will show your story to
Stories are a force to be reckoned with, and you need to be dominating that space! So here are some IG Story ideas lined up for you to help you boost your views:
