Your Weekly Short-Form Video Secrets: Instagram’s becoming Myspace, plus how some sample scripts are racking up views.?

We never saw it coming…?

The full-circle loop of trends is happening again. But this time, not to your clothes but your profiles. Instagram just rolled out a new feature that lets you add music to your profile—bringing back some serious Myspace nostalgia!?

While the song won’t play automatically, visitors can tap to listen, giving them an instant feel for your brand’s personality. This update offers an easy way to add a new layer of expression to your profile and make a lasting impression on anyone who stops by.

So, what does this mean for you?

Outside of feeling older, adding music can help reinforce your brand identity and engage visitors in a memorable way. Whether you’re setting the mood with a catchy tune or aligning your profile with your content, this feature allows you to create a more immersive experience. It’s a simple but effective tool for keeping visitors on your profile longer and giving them an extra reason to connect with your brand.?

What’s Trending

This creator racked up over 60,000 likes with a straightforward, straight-to-camera tutorial. The video kicks off with a clear title centered on the screen: “How to Talk to Anyone.” He then reinforces this hook verbally, making the payoff and subject matter immediately clear to viewers.

He efficiently breaks down each tip on how to start a conversation with anyone, providing specific examples of what to say and why it works. The tips are valuable, concise, and well-organized, keeping viewers engaged. Plus, because it’s practical advice people can easily reference later, over 10,000 viewers saved the video for future use.

Your takeaway:?

What’s something quick and simple you can explain to your audience that’s tactical? Can you offer a script or phrase to help them navigate their day? And can you explain why it works better than their current approach? The more value you provide, the more saves you’ll earn.
