Daniel was right about the importance of finding your niche, using that niche to build momentum, and then knowing how to hold onto that momentum. When you find what works, stay consistent, build your audience, and continue growing in that space. Too many people switch directions before they’ve given themselves a chance to gain traction. The key is to find your lane, establish your presence, build recognition, and then expand strategically without losing sight of what got you there in the first place. Momentum takes time to build, but discipline and consistency are what keep it going.

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
