The Importance of Text Color in Instagram Posts

Did you know that the colors you choose for the text on your screen have a drastic effect on how many views you get? If you're not creating the right emotional response with the text, sounds, and on-screen content, people won't stick around to watch. This could be why the Instagram algorithm isn't pushing out your content. Here are the colors you should use and their context:

Red: Use it in your hooks to grab attention.
Yellow: Use it for call-to-actions or to create excitement.
Blue: Use for surprising facts or to build trust.
Green: Use for call-to-actions that inspire action or suggest benefits.
Black and White: These should be the primary text colors unless you're trying to create specific emotions.

Using the wrong colors can decrease your reach, resulting in fewer views and followers.

New Instagram Algorithm Update

Instagram has recently changed its algorithm and released a new feature to help you get more views if you can hit this new metric: replays. The next trick will focus on increasing your replays.

Increasing Replays

Create a 5-second video with a compelling hook and prompt users to go to the description for more details. The only reasons this won't work are if your hook or description is bad. You can use AI tools like ChatGPT to help you write perfect descriptions. Here’s how:

Find a competitor's well-written description.

Use this prompt:

I need you to write me the perfect Instagram caption for my post. Please make sure it's spaced out appropriately and use emojis to help break it up and make it easy to read. Ideally, the first sentence should hook the reader in, and the last sentence should be a call to action to follow me. Here is my competitor's description. Please reword it and make it better and keep it to 125 to 150 characters: [Competitor's Description].

Copy and paste your competitor's description into your AI tool.
Use the AI-generated description, tweaking it where necessary.

Changing Clips Frequently

People now have shorter attention spans than goldfish. To keep your audience engaged, change the clip every 3 to 4 seconds. This can be done by changing the background, adding B-Roll, changing the camera angle, or using a green screen. It keeps your viewer engaged, increasing the time they spend on your post and boosting audience retention, which the Instagram algorithm loves.

Using Memes for Viral Content

Over 25% of content that gets shared on Instagram is meme content. For 1/3 to 1/4 of your posts, find trending memes and make them relatable to your audience. This decreases the time you spend creating content and helps you go viral more often.
