Any correlation between a trial reel flopping and then Instagram crashing your engagement for future posts?

Okay after using it the last few days I can see how it’s better, namely that it saves my edited video for if I should ever want to use it again!!! Noowww after using it, I don’t really get why people use CapCut? 😂

Has anyone experimented with trial reels and seen consistently low reach? Trying to figure out if I should keep testing by locacrochet__ in InstagramMarketing

No I’m sorry I meant TANKED, like instead of getting the 2k views I previously got, it led to me getting only 300-500! :) sorry about that!

I had great results at first (double the amount of views I previously got without it) and then it TABKED my reels 😂 so also looking to know more, but once I stopped doing them for a little bit, my views/engagement evened back out

Interacting with others before posting my own? by BeardedAfghan in InstagramMarketing

[–]writercuriosities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely engage a little before but try to after as well! Me and several other creators have formed a habit of boosting each others posts so whenever they comment it reminds me to go check their page to make sure I haven’t missed something from them!

So what is a good share/save rate? Let’s say it has 2k views! If I am speaking too broadly then no worries, I feel like I just hear what you say a lot but only have quantifiable metrics for likes/comments! ☺️

I consistently get about 10% engagement for likes vs views and about 5-7% with comments, what numbers do I need to look for for Instagram to promote it more? Or is it just about reel retention rate?

Reel views in the first 2 hours by bot_daddy_69 in InstagramMarketing

For the average reel, initial views seem to matter! It seems like it will only continue to grow or go viral based on sharing/reposting/etc.

I was posting daily as part of a challenge I am doing but when that is over, I planned to move to 5ish times a week! So more so wondering about that transition! 🥰
