Instagram Reels are all the rage right now and are being pushed by the Instagram algorithm so I want to help out my senior photographer friends out with a few tips for creating reels for your photography business.

I turned some of the most common questions I get about reels from photographers into these 8 tips for creating better reels:

Always share to your feed. This helps your reel stay visible for profile visitors.
Grab your audience’s attention quick! You only have a split second before they decide whether to watch or scroll on by.
Use text, transitions & different clips to keep it interesting.
Use trending songs. These work better for me than a song I dig around for unfortunately.
Keep them short. Yes, we have 60 seconds, but that doesn’t mean we have to use all of them. The attention spans are shorter, so if you want yours being watched to the end, keep them quick, interesting & to the point.
Share to your stories a few hours later or the next day to get another boost in traffic.
Use your hashtags (yep, you get 30 here too) to get picked up in searches.
End with a call to action (link in bio, share this with a friend, read more in the captions) so your viewers will know what to do when they see your reel.

Short and sweet little blog post, but hopefully it will help with a few of those lingering questions you have about creating reels. See ya around the gram!
