If you like, you don’t have to share the video to your Instagram grid. This tab is right next to your main feed. You can share it to your profile, or, you have the option of sharing it to your new “Reels” tab on your profile. Once you create this video you can share it to your feed, your story, and it has the potential to be featured on the explore page. You’ll find Reels on your main feed, throughout your explore page, and now, featured throughout hashtags or places you click on.

15 (and now 30) second videos are put to music or your own sound on virtually any topic. There is no denying they are extremely similar. In addition to gaining followers, Instagram Reels allows you to increase engagement, reach, and even can help you monetize by putting you in front of potential customers or readers. I’m sharing how to go viral on Instagram Reels and you can continue coming up with content ideas. I believe these short videos are one of the key ways to reach your target audience and grow your Instagram account exponentially. I’ve had a few of my videos be seen by many more than just my audience and have even had a video viewed 8.5 million times. What I love about Reels is that you can go viral, no matter your audience size.
