25 year marketing professional here and I’m super impressed with your production value. Top notch quality, video, audio, lighting and your motion graphics are on point.

[@personalaspirations8716]

Brilliant Natasha, one of the best online tutorials I have come across. Very easy to grasp (not necessarily easy to do). Thank you for taking the time to put such an excellent support together.

[@MarketingHarry]

Strategic reels are the best. The formula shared here is a really useful one. Scripting your videos is absolutely crucial. Keep it up!

[@ranaabdelnaby3970]

This video is GENIUS! Helped me so much. Thank you so much for creating it!

[@theegoddessnurturer]

MOST helpful video I’ve seen so far on reels for businesses. Thank you!!

[@juliesepulveda5206]

[@lizzieklop]

This is the best video explanation I have found for reels! Great job!

[@michaelakenworthy6317]

That was incredibly helpful, thank you! You have a new subscriber. 😁

[@3cubeglobal]

I think I have to get time and look at all your video... You are awesome! Thank you 💓

[@DoronLGabay]

Thank you for another great, super useful video 🙏. I learned a lot! and thanks to your videos, I stated posting reels myself and enjoying it a lot. I have a question please, if, want to post a longer video, longer than 60 secs, how could that be done? You mentioned that there is such an option - if I'm teaching, for example, but I can't find how. Thank you

[@denisestadman8863]

Excellent! Thanks for sharing

[@melaninerin3048]

Thank you for creating this! It helps my anxiety with making reels 😳🤣🤣🤣

[@abieghaghara]

This is extremely helpful ❤️. I am very new to Reels and find the editing quite difficult so this video has definitely given me some quick pointers. Thank you ❤️

[@prettyrarekollectionz]

I feel the same way

[@drthereseperdedjian1860]

Like your video - informational and succinct . It helped me alot. Thank you

[@a.victor3305]

Thanks for this wonderful content... Please how do you create your video animations.

[@andreastewart1156]

Thanks for this.

[@ElleciaADouglas]

This is a great tutorial but this is demonstrating how complicated and time-consuming creating a REEL for any platform can be. Can you suggest another social media strategy that is just as effective, that requires less time to execute? Thanks again.

[@stephanwinter999]

Girl, you killed it in this video

[@VintageMold-om2mm]

Thank you 😊

[@REALTALKSPORTS7]

[@thekhiddt9095]

Really appreciate it lol because I needed the help 😂😂

[@user-yv4kq9um6w]

Hi, thanks for the useful video. What reels editor do you use?

[@talkingballs]

What software/tool do you use to create the cartoon/illustration graphics in your video?

[@marc149]

Great work! Thanks

[@SocialMediaExaminer]

Appreciate that, Marc! -Jason

[@angelconway4789]

can we get examples of your 3 content strategy pretty please and thank you

[@sumahomes8177]

how to use telepromter for reels ? Any thoughts

[@elijahabraham8217]

I have a question please: what software you used to make this animation onj your video? I'm a beginner on social media and I want to make language lessons. I like the way you explain something.

[@eluigweikedirichi9764]

Nice

[@antoniaosborne4972]

Really good

[@SocialMediaExaminer]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@nisataj6723]

Hi! I have created a reel on my business account using Instagram trending music. But now I am not able to create an ad using ad manager. Is there something I can do? Creating ad is essential for me

[@afshanbakhtiar8632]

Can we use music for business page? But ioptionis not available for business page

[@rachelpassarini]

I'm so confused. I followed your step by step process and many of these buttons do not appear on my reel editor. What am I doing wrong? For example, I don't have the scissors option to trim for the text. Help!

[@DoronLGabay]

Thank you for the great, super important video. Thanks to you, I started reeling!! 🙏🙏 A question please: my account is a business account. How can I search for music, any music, outside of IG libraries and add it to my reels? It doesn't seems to be available on my account 😥 Is there an app I could maybe use (android) thanks a lot 🙏🙏

[@SocialMediaExaminer]

It's my understanding that business accounts don't have access to all of the music licenses that creator or personal accounts do.... but I have heard that if you select "Entrepreneur" as your business type/industry some gain access. Try that out and let us know if that works! -Mitch

[@patapatajewelry]

Thank you @@SocialMediaExaminer changed to Creator + Entrepreneur and it works!!! You are amazing, love your great content. Leraning tons from you

[@rhealanaschildrensconsignm5729]

The option to save audio for businesses is now gone.

[@jimmiescollage]

Super content! Going to share this with a teammate. But 10 minutes? That's not realistic. Your own video telling us how to do it was 13 minutes! To make one of these would for sure take hours. Super complex. So many complicated steps. Yikes. I want to get my clients using these, but what a massive learning curve!!

[@JayneNicoletti]

Nothing good is easy and nothing easy is good. :-). It doesn't take hours. Once you do a few, it takes less time.

[@cerenustel5905]

An app that I have discovered recently is Reelsy - it is a super easy app that empowers you to create amazing Reels in less than a minute AND its totally free (hope it stays that way :))
