Best practices to reach more people
- The first 2 seconds decide whether people keep watching: open with the result or a question.
- Post often. 1 to 3 videos a day during growth phases tends to accelerate reach.
- Use on-screen captions: a large share of viewers watch with the sound off.
- Jump on trends and trending sounds, but adapt them to your niche to attract the right audience.
- Photo carousels are quick to produce and work great for tips and lists.
- Reply to comments with a video: it's ready-made new content and shows you listen to your audience.
