How to Create Instagram Content That Gets Seen, Shared & Reposted (Part 2)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Last week we talked about how to grow your account without posting more — strategic commenting, leveraging your warm audience, and repurposing your content. Today we're going deeper into the content itself. If your posts are consistent but not getting shared, reposted, or reaching new people, this episode is going to be a game changer. I'm sharing three strategies, including a newer Instagram feature you should absolutely be using and a simple tool that turns the content you're already creating into more followers.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
- 02:30: POV-driven content — why having a clear point of view is the #1 thing separating brands that grow from brands that get ignored in 2026
- 04:26: A real-world example of POV content that got 77,000 views for an independent record store
- 08:37: How to use Trial Reels as a safe space to test bold opinions before posting to your main grid
