Reels are the only reliable reach left
Feed posts mostly reach people who already follow you. Reels get pushed to people who do not, which makes them the only part of Instagram that grows an account rather than maintaining it.
What actually gets shown to new people
The platform is measuring whether people stay, not whether the video is beautiful.
- How many people watch past three seconds, above everything else.
- Watch time to the end, so keep it shorter than you want to.
- Saves and shares, which count for far more than likes.
- Original audio and on-screen text, since most first views are muted.
Fix the profile before you chase reach
A stranger who likes a Reel taps your name next. If the bio does not say what you sell and where, the hours are wrong, or the last nine posts are unrelated, you lose them right there.
Post in batches, judge in months
Film a fortnight of Reels in one session and publish on a schedule. Judging a single Reel tells you nothing, judging a month tells you which formats to repeat.
Bad line, good line.
