Want to double your Instagram Story Viewsovernight? I’ve got two straightforward tricks that helped me boost my story views from 1,500-2,000 to over 5,000, and even on a slow day, I get around 3,500-4,000 views. These strategies also helped a client go from 1,500 views to 5,700 on a single story, generating hundreds of leads. Here’s how you can do it too.
Understanding the Instagram Story Algorithm
The Instagram story algorithm is simple: the more engagement your story gets, the more people Instagram will show it to. Unlike reels or image posts, stories are only shown to your followers and last for 24 hours. The better your story performs, the higher it ranks on the list.
Trick 1: Master Storytelling and Create an Engaging Brand
The first strategy involves improving your storytelling skills, making your brand more engaging and the Instagram Story Views.
- Share Interesting Stories: Recently, I posted about selling one of my accounts. This generated a lot of interest and Instagram Story Views because people were curious about the details. Use your stories to share significant events or interesting updates about your brand.
- Add Engaging Captions: Instead of just sharing mundane updates, add a strong statement or intriguing question. For example, if you post a picture of your meal, add a caption like, “Best taco spot in Oakland! Agree or disagree?” This sparks curiosity and engagement.
- Be Bold and Confident: Make confident statements about your experiences or products to encourage interaction. This takes practice but can significantly boost engagement over time.
Trick 2: Offer Valuable Giveaways
The second strategy is to create something valuable that your audience wants and offer it through your stories.
- Create a Giveaway: This could be a discount code, a free training video, a guide, or a voucher. Tailor it to your audience’s interests.
- Promote the Giveaway: Post a story explaining the benefits of the giveaway and ask your followers to reply with a specific word to get access. For example, “Reply ‘YouTube’ and I’ll send you my free guide on growing your YouTube channel.”
- Automate the Process: Use a tool like ManyChat to automate the delivery of the giveaway. This saves time and ensures everyone who replies gets the link or code.
Setting Up Automation with ManyChat
- Create a ManyChat Account: Sign up for a free trial.
- Set Up Automation: In ManyChat, go to the automation section and select “Use Instagram stories to generate more leads.” This template will help you set everything up.
- Choose Keywords: Select the keyword people need to comment to receive the giveaway.
- Customize Responses: Create multiple responses to keep it genuine. For example, “Check your DM for the link!” or “Thanks for commenting, the link is in your inbox!”
- Send the Link: You can either track the link clicks by sending it as a button or make it look more natural by including it directly in the DM.
Benefits of These Strategies
By using these two tricks, you can significantly increase your Instagram Story Views, engagement, and potentially convert your audience into customers. These methods are simple to implement and can lead to substantial growth for your Instagram account.
