The Secret Sauce to Skyrocket Your Instagram Views: 5 Proven Strategies
Struggling to get more views on your Instagram stories? You are not alone! Whether you are an online personality or a business owner, attracting more viewers for your Instagram stories can be quite a tricky job to accomplish.
However, there are a few strategies that you can try to boost your Instagram story views. We have tried these strategies for our clients’ accounts. So, you better trust us when we say these strategies work!
Strategy #1: Utilize Visuals and Engaging Stickers
One of the easiest ways to get more views on your Instagram stories is by using visuals (such as GIFS or stickers) and engagement-driving stickers (e.g. poll, emoji slider, or quiz). Make sure you use the stickers on the very first story you share on the day!
Using these visuals and stickers will encourage engagement and nudge the Instagram algorithm to bump your stories to the front of the queue. Et voila! Enjoy the more views you get on your stories!
Strategy #2: Post Stories During Peak Hours
This one could be a hit-or-miss, but hey! There’s no harm in trying, no?
So, basically, all you’ve got to do is find the hours where your audience is most active. Usually, it’s during lunch hours, in the afternoon, or after work hours. It all depends on your target audience. However, it does require you to do some A/B testing before you find the sweet spot a.k.a. the peak hours of your audience.
If you luck in on your side, you’ll be able to pull in more views on your stories.
We’ve tried it on some of our clients’ accounts and so far, it seems to work… ish.
Strategy #3: Share Thematic Content
This is an old-age marketing strategy that still works even to this day. Sharing thematic content on your Instagram stories is an amazing way to increase your views — especially if it’s something useful or interesting to your audience.
It could be a 24-hour discount code for Christmas or Eid, for instance., Or, if you’re a creator, it could be a “day-of-my-life” video during a holiday. Regardless, Instagram stories are great for creating buzz. Paired with a feed post caption that encourages viewers to head to your stories to find out more, it would be a killer strategy for your Instagram plan!
Strategy #4: Why Not Create Intriguing Visuals?
Done right, this hack could be a real game changer. In case you haven’t noticed, the Instagram algorithm prioritizes intriguing content i.e. content that makes the audience stay until the end of the story.
One of the things that you need to know about creating intriguing content: visual is key. So, make sure your content graphics are amazing. Post motion graphics every now and then, the audience REALLY digs that. Luckily, creating awesome visuals is our specialty and we’ve helped our clients to get more views and engagement on their social media with the visuals created by our crew. #humblebrag
Strategy #5: Be Consistent
It should go without saying that being consistent is key to getting more views on your Instagram Stories, driving up sales, and increasing engagement.
“But it’s so hard to post content consistently! I often run out of ideas for my content, I don’t know what time to post, and sometimes, I even forget to post!”
Well, we know it could be challenging to post Instagram stories daily, but there are tools and strategies that can use to make sure you can plan your content in advance and bulk post your content.
