Here’s a hard truth about Instagram: if your reel is hard to watch, nobody is going to work to understand it. They’ll swipe up and never think about you again. Your audience isn’t sitting at a desk studying your content. They’re on the toilet or in line at the grocery store, thumb ready to move on. You get one shot, and any friction kills it. I watched a student’s reel recently where the background music was so loud I couldn’t tell if I was listening to a song or a breakdown of a golf course. The info was good. Nobody’s going to hear it. The same goes for text people can’t read, captions that disappear too fast, cluttered edits, and stories that take too long to get to the point. Every one of those is a reason to swipe. Before you post, watch your reel like a stranger would: - Can I hear you clearly over the music? - Can I read the on-screen text in time? - Do I understand what’s happening in the first few seconds? If the answer to any of those is no, fix it. Make it stupid easy to watch, because your viewers won’t try harder. They’ll just leave.

Hey guys, is there someone from the team who can unlock this for me? I want to work 😅

Any ideas for green screen reels I could do as a circus performer / scare actor? I am stuck on that lesson.. Here is my account for reference https://www.instagram.com/z_diaboli?dlrf=cmhiZTV3MWRsZTVi

I just uploaded this feel that I recorded on my morning walk. I applied what has stuck to me so far, I would LOVE some feedback from everyone https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfPvUe6OK2n/?obrf=OHg2NmJhcGE2OXp3

In my barbering niche there’s a wave of barber who become “barber coaches” and help other barbers get to $20k months from cutting hair. All of them joined DLUCS course and pretty much stole the course and rebranded it. But barber coaching is the money move rn, $5k per barber for a limited time. Some only offer inside the community for 9 months and others as little as 3 months. The moneys pretty sweet right, but idk if coaching someone is for me. It sounds like a lot of managing people. And yesterday’s call opened my eyes to how big UGC can be.
