Have you noticed an increase in Instagram Reels showing up on your feed lately? More and more people are starting to adopt this new feature into their strategies and it’s paying off big time. If you’ve been sitting back, watching for what happens next with Reels, it’s time to start creating your own and take advantage of the increase in exposure that this feature offers. Today we’re sharing 5 quick Reel ideas that you can film at home or at an office with only your iPhone!

Before & After Transition

This is one of the most popular, and most interesting Reels to create because the options are endless. If you’re an artist, you can show a blank canvas and then transition to a finished masterpiece. If you’re an expert home organizer, you can show a messy kitchen pantry and transition to a well-organized space complete with labeled bins and a space for each item. #sosatisfying

Introduce Yourself + What Your Business Offers

This is one of our favorite Reels to watch because you can find out so much about a person (or a brand) from a short 15 or 30-second video. Find a fun audio to use with your Reel that allows you to “point” to text bubbles on a beat. Take this opportunity to share fun facts about yourself, your business, and a few personal things that will help your audience connect on a deeper level with you.

Mini Vlog “Day In The Life”

“We love to see it.”

There’s a reason this style of video is so popular! Trust us when we say that what you may find boring in your own life (making coffee in the morning, watering your plants, journaling, etc) is so interesting to the rest of the outside world. Pick out an audio that makes you happy and start off your day off vlog-style by showcasing little snippets of your day. It doesn’t have to be an extra exciting day for it to be Reel-worthy.

Answer FAQs or Address Common Objections

You may already have an Instagram highlight of your FAQs created (if you don’t, add that to your to-do list) but creating a Reel with this info is super beneficial to those who have followed you but haven’t yet checked out your highlights. Since Reels can only be 30 seconds long, take this opportunity to create a “Series” around your most asked questions or common objections.

Fun/Personal Trend

No, you don’t have to dance (unless you want to) but we definitely recommend trying out a trending audio or challenge! Some of our current favorites include showing your Fall aesthetic, the Dreams audio made viral by @420doggface208, laptop cat, and the ghost photoshoot!
