🎬 Try out Storyblocks for awesome b-roll & other video assets: https://www.storyblocks.com/katie | In the past few months I went from having just over 30,000 followers on Instagram to 66,000 - and listen: I’m not using all the typical tips and hacks you hear. I don’t edit my Reels in the Reels editor, I’m not using a ton of hashtags, or being super specific about the time that I post at. And my top performing videos aren’t necessarily even following trends! You don’t need to use all of those popular tactics to grow with Reels, and in fact I think sometimes creators get so caught up in all those little tricks that it holds them back - because they miss out on implementing the strategies that actually help you grow. And I'm going to share those strategies in this video (plus, my entire process for filming, editing, and publishing my Reels!)
