Right Way To Upload REELS ? VIRAL ?| How To Upload Reels On Instagram 2024

Hi everyone!

Some people frequently ask me about the best method to upload reels on Instagram. Despite putting in effort, some of you are not getting the views you aim for. This could be because while you might be making good reels, they are not being uploaded correctly. This article will guide you step-by-step on how to upload a reel properly, which includes tips on titles, captions, cover photos, and trending hashtags.

In this guide, I will tell you everything you need to know to make your reels go viral!

Step-by-step guide:

Choosing Trending Audio:
- Before uploading your reel, open the Instagram app and go to the Reels section.
- Look for trending audio. You can open different reels and find the music icon at the top; tap on it.
- Set your selected audio to 100% volume and the reel's original audio to 7-11%.
Editing Cover Photo:
- Choose a compelling cover photo, just like a YouTube thumbnail.
- Tap "Next" then "Edit Cover" to upload a custom cover photo from your camera roll.
Crafting the Title and Caption:
- Your title should be short and engaging, ideally within five words.
- Add a compelling caption and include a call-to-action like, "Follow for more videos".
- Describe briefly what the reel is about and encourage actions like subscribing to your channel.
Using the Right Hashtags:
- Save the reel as a draft first.
- Go to the explore page and search for your category to find top hashtags.
- Use these hashtags in your reel. Instagram allows a limit of five hashtags per reel.
Uploading in High Quality:
- Go to Advanced Settings and enable "Upload at high quality" to avoid compression.
Best Time to Post:
- Make sure to upload your reel when your target audience is most active.
Post-Upload Actions:
- Immediately like, watch until the end, and save the reel.
- Share it on your Instagram Story with a call-to-action like, "Watch Full Reel".
- Close the Instagram app for 3-4 hours after uploading to avoid refreshing the reel's reach.

Following these steps, you will see a significant improvement in your reels' performance. It may take 2-3 months, but consistent efforts will pay off, and out of every five reels, two or three will go viral.
