Find out how to make an <a href=\"https:\/\/about.instagram.com\/blog\/announcements\/introducing-instagram-reels-announcement\">Instagram Reel<\/a> and get your content seen here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a content creator, artist, or business, then you&#8217;ll want to be seen by as many people as possible online. Whether your goal is to make a profit, or simply to give your creative projects a decent audience, <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/social-media-marketing-small-businesses\/\">Instagram is a fantastic social media marketing tool<\/a>. Not only is it free, but it offers a variety of features that enable you to shout about yourself in a way that suits you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grid posts and Stories are great and all, but they rely heavily on people already following you. Reels is perfect for pulling in new followers, as people don&#8217;t need to be following you to see your content. So, how do you make an Instagram Reel in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to Make A Reel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Open the Instagram app and swipe right to open the camera, or tap the + icon at the top of the screen.<\/li><li>Scroll along the options at the bottom until you land on <strong>REEL<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Tap or hold the record button to start filming &#8211; you can pause filming and resume if you wanted to switch scenes or have fun with <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/what-are-jump-cuts\/\">jump cuts<\/a>. You can select the length of your Reel by tapping the Length icon on the left. <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/instagram-reels-60-seconds\/\">Instagram increased the maximum length of Reels to 60 seconds<\/a> &#8211; you may need to update the app.<\/li><li>Add audio, music, text and effects by playing with the range of editing features on the left-hand side. <\/li><li>Use the &gt; arrows to finish up your Reel by adding a caption and hashtags, then either share or save as a draft.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3>Upload Pre-Made Videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to upload a video you&#8217;ve already recorded as a Reel, the process is just as straightforward. Follow the directions above, but at step 3 you just need to swipe up to open up your camera roll. Select the video you want to use and trim if necessary, then continue editing as normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-post-a-tiktok-video-on-instagram-reels\/\">add TikTok videos to Reels<\/a>, however <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/tiktok-videos-wont-be-promoted-on-instagram-reels\/\">Instagram stated they won&#8217;t be promoting these types of videos<\/a> as favourably any more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/instagram-reels-for-business\/\">Boosting your business with Reels<\/a> is a great move, but if you&#8217;re using a business account there are some differences. The major one being the lack of the audio library. Unfortunately, you can&#8217;t use Instagram&#8217;s music library to promote a product or brand for profit. However, you absolutely can still <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/add-music-instragram-reels-business\/\">add music to business Reels<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/about-us\/pricing\">Subscribe<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/\">RouteNote Licensing<\/a> for just $4.99 per month and access unlimited downloads from a huge <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/discover-music\">library<\/a> of awesome <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/royalty-free-music-ultimate-guide\/\">royalty free music<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">All tracks have the <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/?s=sync+license\">sync license<\/a> covered, meaning they&#8217;re perfect to use in your business&#8217; Instagram Reels, and all other types of content!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a number of fun ways you can use social media to boost your following.
