I began my Reels Journey around November 19th, 2021 on Instagram.
When I first began, I joined the 30 Day Reels Challenge right away. And there was so much I learned from that, it was so much fun. Every Instagram Account Page is different & I realized, you don't have to follow what everyone else does, just be unique. I enjoy sharing different types of reels videos on my page & having fun. Not every video needs to be "perfect". But one thing I do know for sure is that Instagram wants you to be consistent & active on there platform.
Once Reels Bonus was able to be Monetized (payments), it felt like everyone was trying to join in. But at the end it was known it was just a random selection.
Instagram is always changing & updating. So, there's always something new to see.
I've made over 900+ Reels Videos on Instagram & I haven't really deleted any because your old videos can still gain more views to attract new followers. But remember not each video will perform well, so be prepared for that. Make a schedule when to post.
Social Media is a place to express your creative side & post what you would like.
Recently, I was monetized on Facebook to create Reels as well. So, I am experimenting how each platform works when it comes to what types of videos gain more views, likes, comments, & followers. But in general I just like to make videos & share to my supporters to inspire & just to make someone smile. (Oct 1st, 2022)
Just see what works best for you.
This is what I do with my Reels Videos:
- Post 2-3 reels videos almost everyday.
- Plan my videos ahead & save them in my drafts.
- I like to post videos that are 8 seconds to sometimes 20 seconds long. I usually aim for 8-16 seconds.
- Save & Find Trending or audio that hasn't been used so much.
- Save other Reels in my saved section for inspiration.
- Use my own voice as audio.
- Relatable topics to connect with your followers.
- Having great transitions that follow the beat of the audio.
- Having captions & texts.
- Add #'s a the bottom of each video.
- I like to look at my professional dashboard to gain more info.

Looks like Reels Bonus Payouts is ending next month.
I'm not surprised but it was nice having a little extra money on the side.
I feel like for several reasons why its ending but I wonder if its forever? One of many to me is because of AI bots but also so much competition on different platforms. For about a month now YouTube created the opportunity for creators to be monetized to get paid to make YouTube Shorts Videos. I wonder how long that will last?
Artificial Intelligence has been around since 1956 but in the 1980s AI expanded. In today's modern world AI Chat Bots (GBT) have gained popularity recently around the beginning of 2023. Attracting concerns to all kinds of businesses.
I'm still learning about AI Bot Chats but I am willing to study more & see more on how powerful it really is.
When I first heard about it, I honestly thought it was directed towards Artists only but its so much more than that. And I'm trying to be more open minded & grow to learn & like this new version of AI Bots. I have for years loved to paint/sketch but I am entering the world of more Digital Art Designs because this is the future. Just like many others, I am a bit worried about AI Bots but I would like to learn from it & be like a group partner with it. I really do wonder what the future of AI will be like? This is just the beginning of a powerful modern robot. So, I'm trying to stay positive here. There's so much more I want to learn about it.
