1. REELS IS A PRETTY NEW FEATURE
Reels were introduced about 5 months ago, so that’s still a very new feature on Instagram, so it will get much more exposure from Instagram and explore page, just because Instagram always does this with new features. They want more people to start using it, so they push out Reels videos to many more people.
2. REELS ARE MUCH EASIER TO CONSUME
What I mean by saying that it’s much easier to consume is that the maximum length of a Reel is 30 seconds. It’s even 2 times shorter than a maximum TikTok length. This means that people will more likely watch your whole video, just press the heart button and scroll further. This will work because people are not going on Instagram to watch a 10-minute video, they want to entertain themselves fast and leave.
3. NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE USING REELS
A lot of people right now just stick to Instagram video, Stories, and IGTV because they are afraid of change. You have to be brave and make a change. If you will be one of those who actually start using Reels, you will get much more eyes on your content and, of course, many more followers.
BONUS TIP
My bonus tip for using Instagram Reels would be to include a call to action in the very first line of the caption. If you look closely into Reels, it only shows the first line of the caption when you are scrolling through, not many people will press that “show more” button, so if they see that you are actually offering them to follow you, maybe they will at least check out your page!
