MISTAKES YOU SHOULD AVOID WHILE MAKING INSTAGRAM REELS:
I’m sure you’re aware of how significant reels will be in 2022! But still, sometimes there are some mistakes that you can’t identify so here are 5 mistakes that can decrease your views.
BAD LIGHTING
Shooting is cool but if you’re not taking care of lighting then for sure you’re videos are not going to get exposure to make sure you focus on it (Use ring light or Sunlight to enhance the quality).
LOW-QUALITY VIDEOS
Instagram will never give you exposure if your video quality is low! Avoid low-quality videos you can increase your quality with lights or you can upgrade the camera.
DON’T CREATE A MESS WITH TEXTS
Be clear about what you have to write in your reel. It’s not an issue to try many texts but be specific with them. Don’t create a mess over there.
AVOID WATERMARK
It’s common no one loves to show others products on their platform. So make sure while editing tries to export videos without watermark or buy a pro version so you can’t face these issues for long.
NOT SHARING ACCURATELY
Do not skip the step where you should share the reel on your stories immediately after posting it because it draws viewers who missed or did not notice it on their feed.
NOT FOCUSING ON THUMBNAIL/COVER
Using an unappealing or unengaging thumbnail might also turn off viewers and could be one of the mistakes you make while preparing the video. Before uploading, be sure to carefully select the cover and verify it under the icon of “Crop profile image” to see which section will be featured on the feed.
