how to increase your instagram story views

 

Instagram stories are a powerful place on Instagram, especially when it comes to building connections and making sales for your business. So when the views drop, it’s pretty fucking annoying. 🤷‍♀️

Here’s what you need to do when you notice this happen.

 

✋ TAKE A BREAK – Ideally for 24 hours, or just let your stories time out.

 

👋 SHOW YOUR FACE – For your first story back after your break, show your face and make your story engaging. For example, ask an INTERESTING question and use the poll sticker. We've all seen enough tea. vs coffee polls to last us a lifetime. Use a topic you know your audience is really interested in.

 

🤩 GIVE VALUE – For your second story, give your audience something really valuable on your stories to snap them back into attention. This could be a quick tip, mini training, tutorial or a personal story.

 

If you want your stories to stand out and want to keep your audience engaged, here are some further tips. I see these mistakes being made all the time on stories.

 

  • Use captions! 70% of people watch stories with no sound, so if you’re not captioning your stories all they’re watching is your mouth moving.
  • Use text also. People like to consume content in different ways, so do a synopsis of what you’re talking about with your text.
  • Make sure your text is easy to read. I recommend switching up the colours on your stories to snap people back into attention.
