The Social Focus

Bells will be ringing! The most wonderful time of year is around the corner (OK OK... by the date of this episode we are still weeks and weeks away) but this is the crucial time to start planning in order to sell out your products and services during the busiest shopping season of the year.
From planning your posts, creating templates, updating your bio and crafting content pieces for your email newsletter, we chat about all of our favourite tips and suggestions to maximize our time and effort so that by the time the holidays are in full swing, we can sit back and relax over a cup of eggnog.

Hey friends! Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Instagram for Business with The Social Focus! Today is a solo episode and Ang is sharing four ways to create Instagram Reels with ease.
We've heard it in our community and we have heard it in our dm's... how can I create better Reels? How did you do the with Reels? I don't know where to start with Reels! I hate Reels! WOAH! OK, let's take a deep breath and start with some basics.
1. One of the first things you can do to get started with Reels is a little research... how do you do this? Well, you need to take some time and see what others are sharing. This is a great way to to gather inspiration, find great (and trending) audio that you feel you could make work for you and your audience. Save the audio and from there, start hashing out a plan.
2. Don't just record and post. One of the easiest ways Ang finds to create Reels is to take clips or snippets. Record in Reels or even through Instagram Stories and save the clips to your camera roll. That way you can come back to it later and or back those clips for later. These are great for transitions, storytelling and for before and after videos.
3. Take some time to piece your clips together. Ang loves to use and editing app like VideoJoiner and or InShot to piece the clips together. That way you can edit and trim the clips, speed them up, slow them down and or add different fonts and or music from your phone. This really helps create a seamless video with more intention.
4. We've said it before and we're going to say it again... batch your content! A perfect time to batch your reels video could be when you're feeling really creativity, have some time do dedicate to it; or like Ang, when you're having a really good hair day! Ways that you can make this easier is record some in one room and then move to a different room. Get outside, switch your wardrobe, put on a hat, etc.
Of course, the best advice we can give when creating reels is to have a plan, make sure it is still resonating with your audience but also, just get started! Trust us, it gets easier over time!
