• Give preference to sounds lasting up to six seconds.
I know that it is sometimes tricky only to choose a few videos/photos for your Reel, but I assure you that you will have more range if you use a few seconds. (I would have liked to know earlier that Instagram prioritizes shorter videos and people watch the shorter videos).
• Hashtags
Use hashtags specific to your niche and that are not such generals. My favourites: #luxurytravelguide #honeymoondestination #weddingdestination.
• Include a text at the beginning of your reel that says what the video is about.
Try to keep it short and with words, people might be interested in and looking for.
• Look for sounds that, apart from having the little arrow pointing up, have less than 5k videos.
It will help your reel not get lost in a sound with millions of videos already created.
• Turn your photo dumps into Reels.
Take your best photos + videos of your trip and find trending sounds. You can quickly identify these (they have a little up arrow next to the name of the sound (which means they are viral).
