How To Get More Play With Your Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories have become extremely popular in the past year or so. These posts with a limited screen time (they only last 24 hours) can be very beneficial for businesses.

But like with everything else that becomes popular, getting seen on Stories can also be challenging. That’s why you need to be extra creative.

Here are a few easy things that can make an enormous difference:

•  Text Stacking: You can create a shadow effect of your words .You can accomplish this by typing out one word and then typing out the same word again and then changing its font color. By stacking one on top of the other will now create a cool, unique shadow effect.
• Utilize The Question Sticker: People don’t like to simply view and like content. They love to give their opinion on it. That includes on Instagram Stories. By utilizing a question sticker in your story gives users just that ability. It is also a way to create additional new content as then you can share the responses you receive on a new Text Story or Post for your followers to also read and to keep the conversation going.
• Pin Stickers And/or Text to Video Stories: People love video and one way to make your video stories more creative and note-worthy is by pinning stickers and words on them. Once you upload your video to your story tap and hold a sticker or your text to the video. The video will continue to play but all the objects you pinned will stay static, which for sure will catch a users attention. This works best though if there is a lot of contrast between the sticker and the video background.

Instagram Stories have a slew of cool features to make your Story content unique. You just need a little time and creativity but before you know it, you can truly create some really fun and interesting content for your viewers and followers.
