master class,completely free all right my name is,jerry potter yes it rhymes with the boy,wizard and in this video we are talking,about how to use instagram stories now,the first thing i want to do is talk,about what an instagram story is,compared to all of the other things that,are available now on instagram then i'll,walk you through step by step how to,create instagram stories using the app,and finally i want to give you some tips,and tricks on how to reach more people,and be more effective with instagram,stories so that you don't make the same,mistakes that so many others have made,in the past including me so make sure,you don't miss that part so if you're,unfamiliar with what instagram stories,are or you kind of get it but you've,never fully gotten it instagram stories,are vertical content so holding your,phone like that and they're made up of,photos videos and graphics and they,automatically expire in other words auto,delete after 24 hours now a lot of,people say what's the point of putting,something up if it's going to be gone in,24 hours anyway but for most of the,content that we post on most of the,social media platforms whether it's you,know instagram the feed or facebook or,you know other places linkedin most of,that stuff stops showing up in,somebody's feed after 24 hours or so,anyway so this one just kind of gets,archived as opposed to just living on,your profile forever and ever now,instagram reels are also vertical,content usually made up of video but,they're different because reels live on,forever unless you delete them they,don't get automatically deleted after 24,hours also reels are more focused on,entertainment and production value while,stories are more casual it can just be,you posting something about your day as,you go about it stories are great for,building trust with your audience your,clients and customers showing behind the,scenes and kind of what you're up to day,to day now it's a really nice day,outside here so i'm going to step,outside and i'll show you how to create,an instagram story so i'm here in the,instagram app and your story is always,going to be the first one in that row of,circles up there if you've recorded one,so i can tap on my story to watch it,this is something that i had shared and,if i don't want to watch anymore i can,swipe that down once you're in,somebody's story so again you can tap on,anybody's stories to watch them and then,as soon as you were done with that one,you can tap on the right side of the,screen to move forward in the stories or,if you want to move to the next person,you can just swipe forward so that's how,those work up here they show up in an,order determined by the algorithm just,like the feed posts do based on who your,favorite accounts are who you engage,with the most who's most recently put,something up there so again this is a,curated feat of stories just like this,is a curated feed of posts when we,scroll up and down,so to create your instagram story you,can do this from your profile or from,the home screen but you're going to tap,that plus sign on the upper right,then it's going to ask you do you want,to create any of these many many things,and we want to create a story so i'm,going to go ahead and tap that plus sign,that says story it's going to bring you,into your camera roll,and so you could choose something from,your camera roll or i'm just going to,tap that camera so we can record,something live here,and so this opens up now here we are in,the instagram camera so quickly going,around the screen up here this little x,that's basically if you didn't want to,do this you can hit that x and back out,of here and you're not in instagram,story creation mode anymore the one in,the middle there you might recognize,that that little lightning bolt that's,to turn the flash or the light on off or,on auto on the upper right here this is,a settings gear and you can go in here,and you can choose settings for stories,and reels for your privacy who can reply,different things like that yo

könnt ihr als erstes die story in,der galerie speichern,als zweites haben wir hier noch filter,die könnt ihr dann im nachhinein noch,hinzufügen wenn ihr das vorher vergessen,habe da gibt es aber nicht so viele zur,auswahl wie vor der aufnahme hier könnt,ihr verlinken ab 10.000 könnt ihr auch,einen richtigen link setzen ansonsten,könnte die verlinkung unter diesem,postet hier findet ihr verschiedene,sachen standort musiker umfragen und so,walter was für uns am relevantesten ist,sind die gis dafür einfach den,suchbegriff eingeben und eingriff,auswählen die werden wir sehr häufig,nutzen investor überarbeitung da nehmen,die dinge das ist der stift oder habt,ihr verschiedene zur auswahl einmal,einen ganz normalen stift dann einmal,ein mit einer falschen oben dran,der marker ist so leicht transparent und,neon macht so eine leuchtend der linie,und zu guter letzt habt ihr ein,radiergummi damit könnt ihr die flächen,wieder freier agieren und hier an der,seite könnt ihr die größe ansteigen also,von ganzen kurs bis ganz klein jedem,pinsel könnt ihr unten noch eine farbe,auswählen,zu guter letzt haben wir das text tool,dort könnt ihr texte verfassen,oben könnt ihr

der ganze bildschirm,einfärben,das gleiche funktioniert auch mit dem,marker pinsel dann habt ihr ein,transparentes overlay ihr seht der,hintergrund schimmert noch vielleicht,durch bei mir jetzt nicht so aber wenn,ihr das bei euch macht dann seht ihr,dass der hintergrund noch leicht küchen,hat,kommen wir zu rechtecken die brauchen,wir recht häufig im store reality geht,dafür auf das textfeld macht ein paar,leerzeichen geht auf dieses jahr damit,sich der hintergrund einfärbt und dort,anzeichen drin sind entsteht einfach nur,ein rechteck und das könnt ihr dann auch,wieder anpassen er könnte kürzer machen,dann wird es ein quadrat könntest größer,ziehen kleiner machen und so weiter,wenn ihr jetzt anstatt die,schreibmaschine fed auswählt kriegt ihr,ein quadrat mit abgerundeten ecken bei,der

How to Use Instagram Stories - Complete Beginner's Guide
How to Use Instagram Stories - Complete Beginner's Guide
everyone in today's histogram video,we're gonna look at instagrams story on,the homepage of Instagram that's the,part that's on top of your page so if,you're not sure about using Instagram,story maybe you've never used it before,or you just don't know your way around,it creating your own post or even,viewing other people's posts this is the,right video for you and this is part of,a four-part how to use Instagram so the,previous one was the regular Instagram,feed and we walk through how to create a,profile and creating your first post and,the next two are gonna be direct,messages and IG TV so I broke up,Instagram into four different parts that,way it's easier to consume these in,shorter videos so just a little bit,about story Instagram story rolled out,in August of 2016 and he basically was a,few years after the regular Instagram,came out as an additional feature to,Instagram and what the difference is is,Instagram story basically lets you,create post and view posts for just 24,hours after 24 hours they disappear,unlike your Instagram feed where things,are there permanently unless you decide,to archive or delete them Instagram,story just makes things vanish every 24,hours and they sort of borrowed this,from snapchat snapchat did have this,option before August of 2016 but it's,rapidly grown in the last few years and,it's become much more bigger than,snapchat and he's even the bigger part,of Instagram itself so as a regular,person if you're just checking it out,it's a great way to see your friends and,see what they're up to in a regular,basis but as an Instagram influencer and,someone trying to grow their followers,and even monitize instagram it's even,bigger I'm not gonna focus on actually,monetizing growing your followers on,Instagram in this video but in the,description below there is a link to a,training for that so check that out if,that's what you want to do this is more,for beginners trying to learn how to use,Instagram story okay let's jump into the,phone so I could show you Instagram,story and if I just quickly talk about,the different things in there I have,well over a hundred videos on Instagram,and Instagram story on this channel so,if you search for anything that I just,kind of touch up on quickly you'll,probably find an entire,on this channel so make sure you,subscribe and check those up but let's,jump into the phone and use Instagram,story so I'm on a home page right here,on a brand new profile to show you how,to use this completely from scratch they,don't jump in in different profiles to,show you some more advanced options so,as you can see this is the home page,this is my profile this is the profile I,created for how to use Instagram for,beginners video so I'm gonna use the,same one again to do Instagram story,let's go back to the home page and as,you could see before I show you how to,create your own story the story tab is,basically on top so if you're following,people and those people create their,story it shows up right on top so you,could see Disney here this is their feet,post this bamboo post is their feet post,but their story post is on top here as,well and same thing Marvel again looks,like they have one right here and you,could basically scroll left and right to,see all the different people that you're,following and their story if they have,it so let's click on one I'll just click,Marvel studio you just click on it right,here and as you could see right on top,there are those little dashes so each,one represents one post inside of story,looks like since I've never used it,before it's actually showing me a,tutorial as you can see if you press and,hold it will pause a story to move,forward you just tap the screen I'll,jump to the next one to go back you tap,the left edge of the screen and to move,between stories you basically swipe left,and right meaning between stories from,different pages and different people,you're following not just their story so,let me just have to keep watching so,again if I tap and hold it's gonna pause,so that's what I just did if I just tap,I could tap quickly you see it's just,jumping to each story and if I tap on,the left side of the screen it's gonna,move backwards so again tapping anywhere,on the middle or right side moves,forward tapping on the left side moves,backward pressing and holding pauses and,if I just swipe right here you see it,just changed it to a whole different,page right here and it looks like Disney,has just one post here that's why,there's one big bar and then as soon as,that's done it's gonna go to the next,page so now I jump to the Nike page and,at any time you could press X to,out but if you refresh this page you no,longer could see that story so you see,Disney has now disappeared so if I,wanted to see Disney story again it,won't be up on the story section but if,I could go to their profile on their,profile I could click that and see the,exact same post again and this was five,hours ago so they basically still have,19 hours for a total o

Beginner Instagram Stories Tutorial
Beginner Instagram Stories Tutorial
hey guys welcome back to my series going,remote happy Sunday I hope you're having,a great day so far in today's video I'm,going to show you how to use Instagram,stories this is going to be more of a,beginner tutorial so if you've been,watching everyone's Instagram stories,and wondering how the heck they got them,so cute this video is going to be,helpful for you and if you are a more,advanced user I think there will be some,tricks in here that you might not know,Instagram stories aren't so much fun and,a fantastic way for you to connect with,your audience so I'm excited to share,this with you alright so the first thing,that you want to do is check for updates,Instagram is always updating and adding,new features so it's likely that there,will be even more in just a week from,now so click on the App Store then click,on your profile picture and check if,there's an update you need to make,alright so I'm going to open up,Instagram and dive into the training,right now okay so first we're going to,open it up then to create an Instagram,story you're going to click on the,little camera icon top left of your,screen okay so now this is opened up our,stories and I can go ahead and create,one so you have two options when it,comes to Instagram stories you can,simply take a picture or you can take,videos as well if I want to take a,picture I'm just going to click on the,center icon there the center circle and,that will take a photo or if I want to,take a video I'm just going to hold it,down and here is my awesome video okay,so we have those two options now I have,the camera facing towards me if I wanted,to change that I could just click the,little arrows at the bottom right of my,screen and that's going to flip over and,then display outwards there's definitely,a better word for that okay so that is,how you take a photo and how you take a,video but there's a whole lot more,within Instagram that you can do so,let's start with the basics let's say,I've taken a photo,but then I want to add to that I think,like on this little smileyface sticker,looking icon over here and it's going to,bring up a ton of options that I can,customize my story with so first we have,location I could go ahead and type in,where I'm at and any time you add an,element to your story you can simply,click on it and drag it around to move,it into position okay so that's location,let's click on the sticker again you can,mention other people so I could mention,any of my friends let's mention kami hey,Cammy and let's click on the sticker,again so we've mentioned friends and if,someone were to click on camis name here,it will actually go to her profile okay,let's click on the sticker again next we,have hash tag if you wanted to add a,hash tag to your story and then next is,a really fun one so this is gifts if,you've been wondering how does everybody,get those cute animated icons on their,story this is how they are doing it so,if you click on gift you'll see a ton of,fun options appear and you can actually,use the search bar up at the top to look,for what you want so for example let's,say I want to do one about work I can,just type in work and then I'm gonna get,all these cute gifts that I can add to,my stories okay so really this election,is endless here so let's click on this,one here and then I can drag it around,simply by clicking on it and then I can,increase the size by kind of pinching,outwards so I'm putting both of my,thumbs on the screen and moving it,outwards and that's increasing the size,okay awesome,so that looks great so definitely,experiment have fun with that and add as,many gifts as you would like so there's,really no limit here you know I'm going,I'm going a little crazy on that on the,gifts here okay so just so you know you,can definitely have fun we're decorating,now one thing you might want to know as,well is that you can add filters to,your images or your videos okay so what,I'm showing you now applies for both,photos like this as well as if we,created a video in order to add those,filters all I need to do is swipe over,to the right so I'm gonna swipe to the,right and as you can see that has just,added a filter so we have the Paris,filter Oslo and honestly it goes on and,on and you have tons of different,filters that you can choose from another,common one that I use is music so this,one is really fun generally when you're,doing a video you can click on music and,you'll see all these different songs,that you can add to your stories so I'll,actually come back to this one in demo,when we have a video then you can pull,your audience and ask them me yes or no,question okay and at any point if you,want to remove one of these story,elements you can simply click on it drag,it down to the bottom middle of your,screen and a little trash can icon will,appear and you can drop it in there,okay so we've gone ahead done that you,know how to add a poll you can ask your,audience a question so what's your fave,food on my mind okay so you can ask them,a ques

How to get MORE VIEWS on Instagram Stories in 2022
How to get MORE VIEWS on Instagram Stories in 2022
what's up everyone welcome back to my,channel in today's video i want to share,my top five tips when it comes to,getting more views on your stories even,for me i have over 200 000 followers on,instagram and i also have found that,story views are a hit or miss sometimes,i'll have very little views while other,times i'll have tens of thousands of,views and i always wondered why that's,why in today's video i want to share my,top five tips when it comes to,increasing your story retention and,getting more views so let go now before,we begin i would like to say that i am,quite a data scientist i have done,extensive research on this topic of,instagram stories specifically i pulled,my audience of 200 000 people and i,asked them what was their biggest pet,peeve and what causes them to drop off,when they look at other people's stories,and by far the number one complaint was,when other people post way too many,stories now you might be wondering what,exactly is too many to give you context,something like this is about 18 stories,and so if you were to really gauge this,i would say that anything over 25 to max,30 stories is already quite a lot and,when your stories start looking like,this like these little micro dots that's,probably when you want to take a,breather and kind of stop posting so,that your post can marinate for a little,bit longer and you're giving people,breathing space now moving on to the,next tip that i have for you to increase,your story views and that is not posting,for 24 hours and letting your stories,expire this is especially important if,you have noticed that you've posted a,lot in a day it actually doesn't add,more value or more views if you keep,adding to that same sequence and never,letting your stories expire and so what,i like to do is if i notice that i've,posted way too much i will actually,consciously take a break for 24 hours,let my stories expire and then post,again after everything has been cleared,what i notice when i do this is that the,story i post after the 24 break actually,gets a lot more views than if i kept,adding to that sequence so that is,definitely something that you should,consider trying now this leads me to the,third tip that i have and that is if you,decide to let your stories expire after,24 hours the first story that you repost,should be something that you know is,going to capture your audience's,attention so for example after that 24,period has gone i'm not going to post a,reshare or a quote post because i know,that's not really going to get the views,that i want and instead i might post a,behind the scenes of my life or a video,of me or something that i know is going,to capture my audience's attention and,cause them to want to click further into,the story sequence now speaking of,capturing your audience's attention a,great way to actually make sure that,your stories get sent to as many people,as possible is at least once a day,consider adding some interactive,stickers to your stories so for example,once a day i'll try to do polls or i'll,try to do sliders so that as many people,are actually engaging with my stories,that way the instagram algorithm will,say ah this person is engaging with,vanessa's stories so let's make sure,that vanessa's stories are in the,forefront of their feed and so at least,once a day try to use an interactive,sticker if you can i also think this is,a big reason why instagram has changed,its story interface to actually promote,you to use an interactive sticker so,definitely take advantage of it and use,it more in your stories the next tip,that i have for you also comes from the,research that i did polling my audience,in terms of what makes them drop off the,most when they're watching other,people's stories and that is when your,stories especially if you're speaking in,them don't have text and we're not just,talking about these captions right here,because i found that a lot of people,don't really care about these captions,if anything they're looking for the,actual text so even though it's going to,take extra time for you to actually,write out the text it is well worth it,because it increases retention a lot of,people don't have the patience to watch,through 15 seconds even if these,captions are on there they want to know,what the story is about right away so if,you're not adding text to your stories,or you're just using the caption feature,you are missing out on a lot of views,and that is probably why you're not,retaining your audience,another insight that i collected from,researching and asking why people drop,off from watching instagram stories is,when your instagram stories become,really stale so my recommendation is to,always switch up the modalities when,you're creating instagram stories and,what i mean by this is making sure that,not the entire sequence is you talking,to the camera or not the entire sequence,is you re-sharing posts or not the,entire sequence is just text you want to,switch things up very similar to,watching a movie or watch

Try THIS to increase your Instagram Story Views
Try THIS to increase your Instagram Story Views
if you're struggling to get the views,that you want on your instagram stories,then these three easy content ideas,might just be the solution it's not,about hacks or beating the algorithm,it's just about finding strategic and,intentional ways that you can create,content that people actually want to,engage with and i think that these three,ideas that i'm about to share are going,to be a really helpful starting point,for you so let's just dive right in,shall we okay so one of the most common,things that absolutely kills story,engagement is unfortunately when you,share your feed content directly to your,story you know the look just like a,carousel slide in the middle of a,vertical story frame now obviously this,sucks because as creators we want to be,able to get more reach for our feed,content by sharing it to our stories it,can be a good way to kind of boost the,initial eyes on your post and maybe get,some more engagement help get your feed,content more distribution but that only,works if your story views don't totally,plummet and people are watching your,stories and then you know going to look,at your feed posts right so i've found a,much better way to share your feed,content to your story in a way that's a,lot more organic engaging it feels like,a story so people aren't as likely to,just exit out or tap on past so let's,just pop over to my profile and let's,say that i want to share this post that,i made about how to repurpose your,youtube blog and podcast content for,instagram so obviously the normal way,would just be to tap that little share,button and then you know post it on my,story,like this but like i was saying that's,kind of boring so what we're gonna do,instead is i'm gonna discard this and,i'm gonna take a screenshot,of the post and i'm just gonna go ahead,and crop it so you can just see kind of,my username and the first slide of the,post we'll tap done,now what i'm going to do is i'm going to,go over and create a story so i'm going,to take a selfie and i'm just going to,point to an area of the screen where i'm,going to end up putting my post,okay so now i can tap on the sticker,tray i can go ahead and select a picture,sticker from my camera roll and i'm,going to use the one that i just took,right and then basically all i'm going,to do,is i'm going to add some text telling,people to go ahead and check out the,post,at this point you want to give a bit of,a preview of the value that people can,expect so that they're more likely to,actually tap through and go browse the,post,and then finally because this is kind of,an unconventional way of sharing story,content you want to add some kind of,prompt like tap here so that people know,that they can actually interact with the,sticker okay once you've got your design,complete you're going to tap those three,dots and hit save okay so now is the,part where we actually make it,interactive so it functions we're going,to go out of stories we're going to go,back to that post and tap share like you,normally would now you're going to,position this in the top corner in the,general area where,you put the sticker visually on your,last story that you just made then we're,going to tap the sticker tray again open,up camera roll and we're going to import,that vertical image as a sticker,then you just need to size it up,so that,it is the full size and finally you can,go ahead and,share it to your story i've done this a,number of times and i've shared them to,my ig updates highlight if you want to,check it out on my profile but basically,you can see then when you tap the little,preview of the post the little see post,pop-up comes up you can tap on that and,of course it takes you over to the post,here's just another quick example tap,there tap see post this is what your,followers can do to actually find their,way to your feed and scroll through that,feed content that you're sharing this is,a much more engaging way than just,straight up sharing the post to your,story because in general i find,especially for personal brands selfies,are going to be more engaging than just,a random post shared to the story and it,gives you a chance to kind of tee up,what the story is about give a little,bit of a preview to make people more,curious and want to tap through here's,the thing stories that are just an,endless slideshow of selfies,point of view shots like photos of what,you're seeing or even like videos of,what you're seeing or videos of you,talking to the camera they kind of get a,little bit boring a little bit samey so,what i want to recommend that you try is,actually shooting,some third-person b-roll of you,interacting in your environment in case,you're not a filmmaking nerd like me,then i'll tell you that b-roll basically,is just a term for any kind of clips in,a movie that don't tell like the a,narrative so you know when i'm talking,to you like this is an example of a-roll,but when i show you this clip over top,that would be an example of b-roll and i,use this principle of b-roll a

These Instagram STORY Hacks Will 3x Your Views Instantly
These Instagram STORY Hacks Will 3x Your Views Instantly
there are some rumors out there that the,first instagram story of your day needs,to be a poll because that's what the,algorithm favors and i see that get,repeated all over and over again so in,the past few months i did some research,tracking stories from some of my clients,trying to spot patterns and then trying,to rework through story strategy and the,results were pretty interesting my,friends because seems like you can,actually and easily 3x your story views,by just implementing this simple yeah,let's just call it two and a half step,process and uh what a lot of people,don't know instagram insights have some,pretty interesting stats that help you,tweak your story strategy and even up,your regular content game outside of,your store pretty interesting by the way,all the things that we talk about here,today come straight from my program the,ig black fox the road map if you will,for growing a successful brand on,instagram with over 100 core lessons,talking about audience development,growth strategies the algorithm quite a,bit we also have a bunch of bonus,courses in there and access to me,personally in our mentorship community,and a lot more but we still have a few,spots available but they are closing in,pretty fast so by the time you watch,this we might be close already link is,down in the description now looking at,all the data that i got there's more or,less two and a half steps that you could,do to actually really maximize your,story gain number one,the 24-hour rule a big mistake people,make is constantly having stories on,their profile because they read it,somewhere on the internet or because i,said it at some point somehow,always have a story because stories are,important for audience development for,selling for building a relationship and,so forth so they're like i always have,to have a story in there to not lose,track of my audience the problem with,this though is the story algorithm and,this goes actually hand in hand with the,rumor that having a poll as your first,story of the day will boost your ring,because for the instagram algorithm the,story algorithm the first story of the,day is the most important one and this,single one determines your subsequent,reach of all the other stories that are,about to follow meaning if people just,don't respond the way that they should,to the first story for example by,exiting out of the stories in general or,forwarding to the next account you're,gonna lose a ton of traction and it,actually really could be a lot like i,said it seems like the fluctuation on,the story reached recently has been,bigger than it now we're gonna talk,about how to optimize for this first,story in a second but and this is very,important if you don't have a break in,your stories meaning there's absolutely,no story of you right there online this,first story stat will actually never,reset and you're sort of in the downward,spiral for multiple reasons that would,be too complicated to get into so it's,really important to always let your,stories expire at the end of the day and,have a short break of at least one two,three hours to reset this you know,mostly internal stats now smart kids are,gonna be like well,how is it gonna be reset what if i,delete the stories will this whole thing,be reset as well and guess what yeah it,seems like this works as well if you see,for example your first story of the day,isn't really responding that well uh or,even later ones just delete the story,wait a bunch of hours and you're gonna,see the stats gonna be reset because,there's less bad data actually coming in,uh to your story so the algorithm won't,sort of penalize you that much penalize,penalize,weird words and here's where it gets,actually really really interesting,because you can actually figure this,whole thing out,right inside your instagram app now i'm,sure you've heard about the term,defining your key story right,no obviously no if you said yes you're a,liar because i've never talked about it,publicly and i sort of invented this,term but basically this is where this,poll in the beginning hack comes into,play yet again because while for lots of,people polls work really well in terms,of engagement and you know all the,metrics it's not necessarily true for,everybody especially with this rapidly,changing algorithm that closely monitors,how your audience reacts to whatever,content that you put out and i,personally believe everybody has,multiple story formats their audience,just likes a little bit more or a lot,more and it's definitely changing from,time to time as well so keep that in,mind so here comes the beautiful thing,about this instagram tells you almost,all of their stats that they have from,your stories in the insights and it's,always been there you just never look so,if you go in there in your story stats,the first thing you can see is that you,can have up to two years worth of data,for your stories which is a lot more,than generally remember you can just,have 90 days for your regular posts but,storie
