Your clips, plus two things only Instagram does well: carousels and stories.
Your week on Instagram
Reels
Your three clips.
Carousels
Two a week in the 8-hour week, built from the points of your weekly video.
NowYour carousels typically reach 974 against 690 for reels, 23 June to 20 September 2026.
Stories
Your day and the life behind the work. Links to the video and the self-check.
A personal post
Our pick: at most one post in ten. Only what shows the life your buyer wants. See You decide.
AgreedThe beach yes, your body no. 11 and 18 September 2026.
Trial reels
A reel Instagram shows only to people who do not follow you yet. After a day you see how it did, and can share it with your followers.
Your numbers: typically reach 132 in 30 days, against 683 for feed reels, to 1 October 2026.
Yet your four biggest reels in 8 weeks were trials, led by two symptom lists that reached 18,305 and 11,428.
Proposal: a four week test
Each trial is a new cut, never an old reel.
Volume
3 a week
12 trials across four weeks.
Share to followers
1,000+
Passes 1,000 reached in 72 hours. Goes to your followers.
Stop rule
Under 2 of 12
Fewer than two winners means stop. The hour moves to your weekly video.
Or stop trial reels now, for more time on your weekly video. See You decide.
Judge each post against its job
After 72 hours, against your typical result for that job.
- Find. People reached, and how many stay past the first seconds.
- Keep. Saves.
- Talk. Replies and DMs.
- Test. A trial passes 1,000 reached.
