Instagram reels are a hot topic right now and for good reason. As a video feature, reels are a great way to reach more people. In my opinion, the hardest part about Instagram reels is that people assume they HAVE to dance or do some crazy trend in order for the reel to be post-worthy. That's not true. I've started posting Instagram reels to prove that it doesn't have to be any sort of crazy dancing trend. You can use fun audios to share information, show new arrivals, and give behind-the-scenes insights. Take a look a reels people in your niche are creating. You might get some good ideas. My best advice: create whatever feels comfortable for you! Be real and authentic in your reels. Showcase who you are and what your followers support about you. Listen to hear a few ideas for reels that don't involve dancing!
