The best viral Reels formula doesn’t exi- 🫢

I've always been flooded with these big questions about Instagram's success. 

Is there a magic post length that guarantees engagement? 

Do hashtags still matter? 

When's the perfect time to post? 

As I dove deep into my Instagram journey, 

I realized these questions are less important than the 5 key lessons I've learned. 

Each week, I’m posting over 100 Reels across my page accounts.

But getting to that number means studying thousands of profiles to see what makes them tick. 

What stands out is how some creators skyrocket to success with just one viral Reel. 

So, what do these creators do right? 

They all follow these 5 simple steps without fail.

1. Audio Matters.

Using the right audio is crucial for your Reels. 

Every viral Reel I've seen uses audio that perfectly matches the video's theme and vibe. 

When selecting audio, remember: that it’s not about your favorite song. 

It's about what resonates with your target audience.

(Again)

Ask yourself, who am I creating this for? 

If you're aiming at a younger crowd, maybe they’ll vibe with EDM. 

If your audience is busy professionals, low-fi beats might be the way to go. 

Establish who you’re targeting and know what music they enjoy.

This goes hand-in-hand with the editing process, too. 

Sync your visuals with the audio to create a harmonious experience.

Over the past months, audio has taken the lead over hashtags for sorting content. 

It’s a powerful tool to connect with your audience on an emotional level.

And that’s just one piece of the puzzle. 

There are 4 more variables you’ll want to integrate into your Reels creation process. 

I dive deeper into these strategies in my latest YouTube video, which includes free resources to help you get started.
