5 easy ways to increase your instagram story views
Before we get into the juicy 'how to', I've gotta be honest with you, because one of the biggest lies in the online space is that you need a big audience to make big money… and that's simply not true.
Over the past 2 years, I've worked with my dream clients and enrolled hundreds of women into digital products and online courses, all whilst working with a small audience.
Let's take a look at the numbers. I have…
Less than 4,000 Instagram followers
Less than 300 Story views
1,000 email subscribers
Nope, this is not a coincidence or a fluke. It all comes down to strategy.
Of course, I'd love to have a bigger audience.. who wouldn't?!
But successful entrepreneurs don’t sit around complaining about what they CAN'T CONTROL. They focus on what they CAN control!
You cannot control the algorithm… but you can control how you choose to show up for the people who are already there. Even when I had less than 50 Story viewers - I still showed up, I still served and I still sold.. even when I didn't think anyone was listening (spoiler alert - they were!)
I'm telling you this because you need to realise that your audience is NOT too small to monetise. When you use Instagram Stories strategically, selling becomes easier than ever!
With that being said, there are ways that you can organically increase your Instagram Story views and reach more of your audience. That’s what we’re going to explore in this blog post.
1. SHOW UP ON YOUR INSTAGRAM STORIES DAILY
This will allow you to stay top of mind for your audience and become a part of their daily routine. When you do this, you also activate something called the Mere Exposure Effect, which essentially means that the more someone sees you, the more familiar they become with you and the more they begin to like and pay attention to you.
2. UTILISE THE INTERACTIVE STICKERS TO CREATE ENGAGING STORIES
If you're not already leveraging Instagram’s interactive features then you are missing out! Using the poll and quiz stickers is a great way to boost your Instagram Story and train your audience to interact with your content.
As more people engage with your Stories, Instagram will push them out further and you'll notice a significantly higher number of views (sometimes, utilising polls and quizzes can more than double my views). You can even create fun games that encourage your audience to keep checking your stories for more - my personal favourite is True or False!
3. MOVE CONVERSATIONS INTO THE DMS
Instagram DMs are such a powerful tool to get to know your ideal client and Instagram Stories makes it easier than ever to do so! When you reach out to your ideal client, make sure that you’re starting genuine conversations. At this point, you’re not going in with the intent to convert them. You’re going in with the intent to form a connection that will develop into a relationship.
Starting conversations with your ideal clients will cause them to pay more attention to you and look out for your Stories - and the more you do this, the more Instagram will push your Stories to the front of their queue.
4. SERVE YOUR AUDIENCE WITH VALUABLE CONTENT
Share educational content and inspiring stories that your ideal client will find valuable in order to keep them coming back for more. Make sure that there's a purpose to your Instagram Stories and that your audience are getting something out of watching them, otherwise why would they bother?!
