💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - Looking for ways to improve your approach to posting on Instagram? IG’s Chief Adam Mosseri recently shared some tips on how to help you do exactly that. Social Media Today summed up the key takeaways that might help drive some additional eyeballs to your content.

💡 Insight - Here’s how you can tweak your IG posting to optimize performance:

Repost your Reels to Stories. Mosseri says it’ll help with reach, “as long as it’s not something that annoys your followers.” Typically, feed posts will get more reach than Stories because there’s a ton of Stories inventory to compete with, but it’ll generally help.

Collab Posts work best when the account with the bigger following sends the collab request. According to Mosseri, “the ranking system biases more towards the original collaborator than the person who accepts.”

Now, these tips probably won’t entirely turn around your IG from zero to 100k, but they might help you expand your reach – especially heading into the holiday shopping season.
