C.5.2. Do’s on Reels
i. Reels are optimized for mobile viewing, so they should always be
shot in vertical (9:16) format.
ii. While reels allow for videos up to a few seconds, sometimes shorter
clips (around 30 seconds) can be more engaging.
iii. The first 5 seconds are crucial.
iv. Collaborate with social media influencers to get a better reach.
Popular challenges, songs, or trends can boost Reel's visibility if
leveraged correctly.
v. While it's good to tap into trends, always ensure content aligns with
Government/Ministry's message. Regularly post reels to maintain
engagement and visibility.
vi. Use Instagram Insights to understand which reels perform best and
use this data for content refinement. Use targeted keywords in
captions.
