One of the best ways to go viral on Instagram Reels is by finding your niche and posting consistently.
There are so many Instagram users with a wide range of interests and hobbies. No matter what your brand or business does, there’s a niche for you!
If you’re a bakery, you could go behind-the-scenes in the kitchen like @jennaraecakes.
Or, if you’re a skincare brand, you could provide product tips like @glowrecipe:
Even if your first few Reels don’t garner a ton of traction or engagement, keep going.
Just like anything else on social media, it’s all about trial and error.
Another great way for brands to connect with a niche audience? Working with influencers and creators, of course.
Later's influencer marketing platform, Later Influence, makes it easy to find influencers who make creative content in your niche. Book a demo here to see how it works.
Including 3-5 hashtags can be a great way to help the Instagram algorithm understand your content and serve it to relevant audiences.
For example, using hashtags like #VeganRecipes, #PlantBased, and #WhatVegansEat will indicate to the Instagram Reels algorithm that your content is about vegan cooking — which may increase the likelihood of it being served to users who are actively engaging with similar content:
Every little bit helps!
