Hey friends! Talking head videos, educating or storytelling, are really hot in the algorithm right now, but some IG accounts still only have 90-second limits on videos. They said everyone should have up to 3 minutes, and some even have up to 20 minutes now!! I have two accounts, one has the 20-minute limit and the other still only has 90 seconds, but I found a way around that. If your account still only has the 90-second barrier, DO THIS! IG HACK! Hope that helps!

Hey friends! I always say when IG drops a new feature, USE IT! They like to push these users out to the masses because it helps them collect data and see if the feature is used and well liked. It is the "collage" feature in stories! When you go to post a story, you can now click "collage" at the top and add up to 20 pictures. The template then does a cool remix of all the photos and you can write text on the story, etc. Definitely a fun new eye catching feature. Let me know if you've used it or plan to!

You all know I LOVE trial reels. They helped my small account rise from the dead and gain 100s of followers, 200+ email subs, and took my reach from 25k to over 200k. I highly recommend you use them, just make sure that you're following these updated rules from IG: 🖐️ As of Sept 1, you cannot post the exact same trial reel over and over again. Too many people started doing this because, typically, with each post the reel would pick up speed! This is not the case anymore, they will actually now suppress views. 🖐️You also used to be able to post up to 25 a day! Now that you can't post the same reel, this wouldn't be feasible anyway. They are saying to do 5 max. Some accounts may be able to do a few more, but I wouldn't exceed this in case you get flagged. 🖐️ Lastly, you can duplicate your in-feed reel and then post that to trials, but then follow the first point in this post. If you want to post the "same" one over and over to test, you must change several of the core edits. EX: change hook and caption. Change caption, audio, and video out, etc, etc. Bottom line: still use them, but use them wisely. Now with people not being able to post the same stuff 25x a day, maybe that will open up the algorithm for the little guys like us :). Hope this helps!
