I found the secret to more Instagram Story views…

[@iamlashawnda]

Instagram is the fulltime job I never wanted. I don't want to feel obligated to post videos of me and what I am doing every single day. For me personally it's draining and ya'll don't want to see what I look like when my camera is not on for creating KZbin Content lol

[@thesaltysorbet]

I’ve noticed when I post selfies vs. landscapes/reposts/pets my engagement is much higher.

[@LauraErdmanLuntz]

You are SUCH A GEEK for numbers and stats and I LOVE YOU for it!! I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you do this for us because it is NOT what I do well at all. 💕💕

[@vladimirovnacademy]

Thank you so much for this video and sharing real stats! Having 80k followers and 2000 stories views (the same as when it were 20k), I felt like a fraud and looser🙈

[@AmsterdamMotorTour]

that you have over 1k of views on a Story is already impressive!

[@LifewithMar]

I’m trying to work on my Story views as well. I have 100% noticed if I let the story expire and then post that my views are significantly higher. I’ve tried using the sticker tap too but I don’t think my audience knows how to use it (tbh I had never seen it before myself and wouldn’t have known lol).

[@clicjewels]

Hello! I thought I was the only one noticing that leaving about 24hrs until you upload a story again gives even until x5 times more views (!) but I am so happy that this is something that actually happens ✨

[@cerealandsalchows]

seriously omg this video was fanstastic and asnwered every single question i had. Thank you and well done!!!

[@marketingbyshelby]

Loved this experiment! SO interesting - thanks for doing this and sharing with us!

[@MissKatonikTV]

I always share my reels cause I'm worried they won't be seen by my followers otherwise. Guess it is time to experiment by not doing that!

[@ReggieAbbey]

I really enjoyed this video. I definitely prefer the optimized method when it comes to posting because I am don't have the time posting every day 2-3× a day

[@Ninja.crystal]

Perfect timing! Was wondering this 🙏🙏 great insights

[@JosieMichelleDavis]

This is so interesting! I know from my own experience how bad sharing reels preforms too, so I’m curious what you recommend- just don’t worry about shouting out new content in stories? trust the feed algorithm will show it? I end up doing it because I’m not sure what else to do 😂

[@tparkart]

Your videos are always so interesting and insightful! Thank you for sharing! Instagram has become a real beast and your insight makes it so much easier to navigate it! 💖

[@ChantelleArts]

this is actually really interesting, I don't know a lot about Instagram stories so it's super helpful ❤❤

[@Kudrav]

Have you tried if deleting a story has the same effect as of letting it expire by itself. For example if it’s a flop - delete and post a new one? Also, few times I succeeded boosting a flop story by posting a poll story after that which drove more traffic for the previous one as well

[@alexiejolie]

Thank you, Mary Jo, for sharing your energy and talent. What is the name of the two decks that you used in this reading? Would love to know 🫶 thanks!

[@CeciliaCardona-r7z]

Thank you so much for you video ! Really helped

[@kittipilla]

I have been grinding at the consistent method for a long time, but I find that if I share posts in the mix of my original content that the views massively drop and the next day if the story is continuing on instead of completely finishing then it is much much lower. As an artist I take work in progress shots and usually have a blurb of text or an interactive sticker in each slide, if I start and finish a piece within one day these stories pop off.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another awesome video Katie. Thanks for doing this experiment. Have a lovely weekend and love 🥰 this video and love 💕 Katie.

[@withbiancalee]

Thank you so much for this informative video!

[@francescalviani]

Cool! Thanks. I have a question about Google Photos back up. I use the same but it gets so fast full. How do you do? I have 100 GB plan, but still...it get super fast full if I use Google Photos as backup. Tips about it?

[@biaalvarez]

loved this video!

[@innerwonderment]

this was helpful info, thank you!!!

[@nikikhojandi9485]

It's so hard to be an artist and try to stay active on social media at the same time. I sit and work all day, and somehow keep trying to make time for this stuff😅

[@ludoviajante2]

thank you

[@BoyNamedKelly]

Ok werk. Love this

[@dreawelty]

Loveeee this

[@dotpenji]

Great insights! Which strategy do you plan to use for your Instagram stories moving forward? Any quick tips for creators looking to boost their engagement on the platform? 😊

[@motivatedbeastph]

I thoroughly enjoyed this experiment! It's incredibly fascinating. Thank you for conducting it and generously sharing the results with us!

[@JeromeC-wp2vr]

I absolutely loved Katie's Instagram story experiment video! his insights and detailed breakdown were incredibly informative. Thanks for sharing your valuable insights and tips! Looking forward to more of your content!

[@kristinmhowitt6305]

It seems that a lot of the stories "time stamps" still have your default of 8:00AM in the overlays, which is sad because knowing the times would have been helpful!

[@Lifcvko]

Danke🙂❤️

[@cipriannituphotographer]

Most of my story insights are with 0% non-followers. My account is public. Is it because I'm not using hashtags on my stories or location tag? I will love to hear your opinion on this. Thank you for your time and reply.

[@giogi1591]

in our stories we have to always show our faces? that impact the engagement?

[@beyondmyself2969]

Nice

[@FloraVignon]

Does replying with an emoji (the swipe up ones) count as a DM reply ? 🤔

[@kittipilla]

I find that it does. After I have a couple people reply with the reactions like that the story gets more views. Not by much but still more than none :)

[@TiffanyIma]

The only thing that works for me are actual replies or lots of reactions. Polls dont do as much

For some reason, on my stories, I'll get 50 or so sticker taps, replies, and hearts, but IG will only show 0-2 engagements every time. They are at least mostly from real accounts (i don't know some of them, but a lot are from regular customers at my shop that I recognize, so it shouldn't be because of spam accounts that the engagements aren't showing up. Any ideas?

[@LisandraMonroy]

Why is sharing a reel on your story is bad? I was told that every time I posted a reel to always share it on my story

[@TheCof6656]

"the more you post the more views you get.. even though in total you get less per story" - What? What does that mean lol

[@Father.Beocca]

Ha, 1000 views per story! Lol I think I get 10.

[@AmmyWolfable]

To me when you post consistent and the view are low. You are just reaching the same audience over and over again. So its move total view but it is really more people. You aren't reengaging old view. Mostly maintaining the same core audience

[@Lord_frosted]

I love that you do these experiments 💖 thanks for making things so easy to understand 🫶🏻
