Success Story Spotlight ✨
Alex shares his journey to achieving over 30 million views on Instagram and 100 million on TikTok. He breaks down the secrets to mastering social media algorithms, focusing on increasing watch time and engagement.
Key strategies include creating loop videos, using engaging text, storytelling, and effective hooks. Alex emphasizes the importance of SEO, custom thumbnails, and relevant hashtags. He also provides tips to encourage viewer comments and interactions.
Takeaways
😀 Understand the algorithm: Your content is initially shown to 20% of your followers and similar interest users. Watch time and engagement are key metrics for boosting visibility.
🎥 Increase watch time: Create loop videos that encourage viewers to watch multiple times.
📜 Use text strategically: Add plenty of text in your videos to keep viewers engaged longer; make sure it takes longer to read than the video length.
📖 Tell a story: Structure your video with a clear beginning, middle, and end to capture and hold viewer attention.
🎉 Tease surprises: Use captions to build curiosity and keep viewers watching until the end.
⏱️ Optimize video length: Aim for 7-15 second videos for better engagement, and gradually increase as your credibility grows.
🎶 Use trending audio: Select trending sounds that match your video’s mood to enhance emotional engagement and watch time.
🖼️ Create custom thumbnails: Design eye-catching thumbnails to improve click-through rates.
🔍 Implement SEO: Use relevant keywords and hashtags (3-7) to avoid clutter and optimize discoverability.
👀 Start strong: Create compelling hooks in the first few seconds of your video to grab attention and encourage viewers to continue watching.
💬 Invite comments: Encourage engagement by asking questions or sparking lighthearted discussions that avoid offense.
💬 Engagement Strategies: Actively engaging with your audience through questions or lighthearted debates can foster community and drive more comments, signaling to the algorithm that your content is valuable.
Okay, to get a better idea of how to grow on social media picture this: You’re at a party. If you’re just talking at people with long speeches, everyone’s gonna tune out pretty fast, right? But if you’re cracking jokes, starting fun debates, or actually getting people to vibe with you, you’ll get way more attention.
That’s exactly how social media works too! Just posting videos and leaving won’t make the algorithm care. But if you’re out here actually chatting with people, replying to comments, and keeping the convo going, you’re way more likely to blow up.
Quote of the day ✒️
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new.
Sometimes it’s tough to let go of old efforts, like a social media account that didn’t grow the way you wanted. But sometimes, you just need to start fresh with a new one and try out different strategies to see real growth.
That’s a wrap for today!
