Something I keep hearing over and over again….. “It takes me so long to film a reel” Now, I’m not going to sugar coat everything here and pretend it’s all roses and rainbows…reels MAY take time to film if they require a lot of editing or costume or location changes. BUT, if we’re talking your ‘run of the mill’ reels, and you have a proper strategy in place, the average reel should take you 10-20 minutes to film. If it’s not, something is going wrong! You need to analyse where in the process you aren’t hitting the mark. Ask yourself; 1️⃣ Do I have a reels strategy in place? 2️⃣ What part of actually filming reels are you finding time consuming? If you need help in this space, let’s chat! My ‘Hour of Power’ service might be exactly what you need! Be honest now…how long does it take you on average to film a reel? . . . #reelscoach #reelstips #reelstipsandtricks #reelsforbusiness #reelsideas #reelstrend #instagramcoach #igtipsandtricks #igtips #instagramtipsforbusiness #instagramtipsandtricks

In Instagram’s attempts to take over the world, did you know it had its own in-built search engine. When you click that little magnifying glass to search something, there’s millions of little Instagram minions in the background, wading through billions of posts to present to you, content based on what you’ve typed into that search bar. The content that comes up is dictated by keywords. This is also known as Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). So in order for your content to have the BEST chance of coming up in these searches, you need to be quite strategic in what your bio says and how you’re writing your content. SEO also plays a major role on ‘suggested posts’ that you’re seeing a lot of in your feed at the moment. In order to improve your ranking you need to help Instagram’s algorithm identify your content. In this way, those minions know where to include your content in searches. The BEST SEO tactics to increase your discoverability (is that a word 🤔): 1️⃣ Write captions with keywords! 2️⃣ Add keywords to your Instagram Name 3️⃣ Include niche hashtags 4️⃣ Identify your niche and be consistent in providing them with good content. Are you doing this at the moment? Hit SAVE so you’ve got this up your sleeve as a constant reminder! . . #instagramcoach #instagramtipsandtricks #instagramseo #instagramforbusiness #igtips #igtipsandtricks #instagrambio

Ok people listen up because what I have to say is IMPORTANT!!!! Not all of your followers see your content (you probably already knew that, right?). Now it’s not necessarily because they don’t want to see it. It’s probably because they follow so many other people that the algorithm puts the content of others ahead of yours. It’s your mission, if you choose to accept it, to make people remember who you are and why they should buy from you. HERE’S WHAT YOU DO: - choose 3 followers a week who you miss! Maybe people that have purchased from you in the past or people who you haven’t heard from in a while…people that haven’t been interacting with you. People who you know are your people but who have just been quiet. - send them a nice message. Example “ Hey Sarah, how are you? You’ve actually been on my mind lately and thought I’d reach out and say hi. How’s things?’ You might also like to add in something personal…maybe go and look at Sarah’s last few posts to see what she’s been up to and reference something there. Or maybe make a comment about something you and Sarah have in common. - Sarah receives your msg and gets all the feels because you’ve reached out. She responds with a nice msg back. Maybe in going back and forth you might ask for feedback on the product or service she purchased from you a while back, maybe you ask if she needs anything from you, maybe it doesn’t end up sales related at all. What you’re doing here, is BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, and that my friends, is what Instagram is all about! In having Sarah respond, you will also trigger the algorithm into seeing that you and Sarah have been in contact. It may then start showing Sarah all your content again. Sarah then realises she needs to buy from you. Sarah is happy. You are happy. What a beautiful love story. Soooooo, are you going to give it a go??? . . . #instagramtipsandtricks #igtips #igtipsandtricks #instagramcoach #instagramstrategy #instagramstrategytips #instagramideas #instagramforbusiness

We’re our own worst enemy at times, always filling our heads with nonsense….like ‘I CANT DO REELS’ for example. I have heard this statement WAY TOO MANY TIMES!! Reels are not complicated when you understand how to do them. Let me say that 1 more time. 📢Reels are not complicated when you understand how to do them. Here’s a couple of my favourite tips when people make this statement: 1️⃣ do you have any issues answering questions to a customer when they come in to see you or you speak to them over the phone? No? Oh good, in that case reels should be a walk in the park. START OFF SIMPLE! You, talking to camera, answering your most frequently asked question. 2️⃣ Don’t feel you need to do something that is waaaaay out of your comfort zone. Some people are happy to make an idiot of themselves, dancing and miming (AKA ME!! 🤣), but not everyone is like that. Be you ALWAYS. 3️⃣ Get help! Rather than navigating this big, bad, platform yourself, learn from someone who knows. It doesn’t need to be me (although I’d love it to be and I do have a Reels program starting the week commencing 15th August - head to the link in my bio for the deets 😉). Education is key and I guarantee you, you’ll learn so much more getting the right help than you will figuring it out on your own. So over to you…what’s stopping you from posting reels? I’d love to know. . . . #reelscoach #reelsideas #reelsforbusiness #reelstipsandtricks #reelstips #reelsadvice

If you know, you know. 👮 I just HAD to use this audio the SECOND I heard it. Law & Order SVU is my all time fave crime show and this audio is actually the ring tone on my phone. When I went to NY pre-covid, I channeled my inner Olivia Benson and was sure I’d see dumped dead bodies in Central Park….but it didn’t happen. I adapted the Law and Order SVU opening quote and have made it relatable to Instagram. I think we could probably make a great TV show from all the unsolved glitches of Instagram. You might like it, you might not but all strategy went out the window when I heard the duh, duh, duh, duh, duuuuuuum…. 😂😂😂 . . . #instagramupdate #instagramupdates #instagramstrategy #instagramcoach #reelscoach #reelsideas #lawandordersvu #lawandordermemes #oliviabenson

I’m all about making life SUPER EASY when it comes to reels so here’s a simple one for you. This audio is about favourites so here’s some ideas on what you might like to show your audience… 💥highlighting your favourite product or even a brand new product that might have been released. 💥showcasing a new outfit for an event or night out 💥 your favourite child (ok, maybe do this if you only have 1 child 😜) 💥highlight another business that you might work with or collaborate with. 💥 favourite business quote or saying 💥Introduce us to one of your long term customers. As of today (4th August), this audio has just started trending so use over the next couple of days and tag me in your reel if you do use it so I can take a look. This reel took me exactly 23 seconds to film from start to finish….caption took 7 minutes. Reel done in under 8 minutes 👌 . . #reelstutorial #reelstips #reelsideas #reelstipsandtricks #reelstrends #instagramcoach #reelscoach

Are you the sort of person who just posts and doesn’t give much thought to the look of your profile page or are you the person who has an anxiety attack if they accidentally posted a photo when it should have been a quote and now their whole pattern is wrecked? Confession….I used to be the latter. I’m a control freak at heart and there was just something about having a feed all aligned that would make me feel all the feels. Over the last 12 months or so though, my thoughts on this have changed and in light of some recent instagram changes, I think there is a lot less importance on a beautifully curated feed. Now, don’t get me wrong…there are some industries where it might actually add value to your business by having an aesthetic feed but for most of us, it really doesn’t matter. 💥Reels have taken over and we all know how important it is to have a cover photo that captures attention (if you didn’t know this then think about doing my upcoming ‘Let’s get Reel’ program 😉). If that means it doesn’t follow a pattern on your feed, but truly hooks in your audience, that’s ok. In fact, it’s more than ok! 💥Instagram have recently introduced the ‘pinned post’ feature where we are able to literally pin up to 3 posts on our profile page. If aesthetics were really that important, this feature wouldn’t exist as it completely throws out the pattern! 💥 Quality content that is engaging, truly speaks to your target audience and that adds value…that’s what’s important! What are your thoughts on this? Do you have a perfectly curated feed? If so, what are your reasons? If not, what are your reasons? Let’s discuss… . . #reelsideas #reelsforbusiness #instagramstrategy #instagramtipsandtricks #igtips #igtipsandtricks #instagramcoach #instagramupdate #instagramupdates #aestheticfeed

Sorry #nosorry Ok Maree, we get it….we need to post more reels. But do you…? Like do you ACTUALLY get it???? 🤔 Yesterday I put up a poll asking people how many reels they post a week and so many of you answered with 0 or 1. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news here (believe me, it’s not me saying this…it’s Instagram), but you are going to be left behind. All the time you’ve spent building a following, concentrating on creating beautiful posts….all out the damn window if you do not start posting reels consistently! In 3 months time, you don’t want to say, “I wish I’d listened to Maree.” Let me hold your hand and show you how to do them properly. We’ll start at the beginning and take it SUPER SLOW to ensure you understand it all. It’s a 4 week program called Let’s Get Reel and it’s going to be amazing! Head to the link in my bio for all the info. ❤️❤️❤️ . . . #reelscoach #reelsstrategy #reelstips #reelsideas #reelsforbusiness

Is this you??? Let me know in the comments below how many reels a week you’re currently posting…I’d love to know! ————————— REELS IDEA: In the special effects just type ‘crying’ to choose a crying filter. Now the important thing here is to think about a pain point for YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE! Remember, it’s not about you, it’s about them. Is there something they’re struggling with that you can highlight using text as to why they might be crying? As a Call to Action have something like “I can help…read the caption for more info.” If you give it a go, tag me so I can see. This one is SUPER EASY and will literally take you less than 30 seconds to set up and record. At the time of posting (2 August), this audio has 426 reels. I predict that within a week it will be trending. . . #reelscoach #reelsstrategy #reelstips #reelstipsandtricks #reelsideas #reelsforbusiness
