Avoid these Reels mistakes at all costs!

1. NOT ADDING TEXT

Most people use Instagram with the sound off. Not adding text to your Reel prevents people from engaging with your content. 

2. FORGETTING THE HOOK

Reels only have 2-3 seconds to capture peoples attention before they skip.Diving right into the content without a hook will reduce your views and crush your replays.

3. NOT TRIMMING DEAD SPACE

Every millisecond counts - trimming the dead space will keep the user interested longer. 

4. NOT USING A COVER PHOTO

Cover photos allow you to provide context of the reel or personalize it more.

5. NOT POSTING REELS TO YOUR FEED

You get the most exposure through your Feed, and since Reels is rolled out globally yet, some people are still missing the Reels tab and it will only show up as a regulat video on your profile grid. 

6. NOT MAKING REELS
