Indeed, Instagram has now consolidated a tool of production into which the user can be introduced to different experiences facing now in real time. Considering that people increasingly opt for stories, this feature can be a game changer for you if you know how to manage it properly and help you feel more connected with your followers on a much deeper level. In the following article, we will highlight a few key points that will help you overcome the sticky situation of Instagram Stories and bring lots of public interest to your Stories.

 

1. Try to catch the reader's attention from the start whether it is humorous, thought-provoking, or heartfelt

 

Just the same way as in any good story, your Instagram Story has to start with an appealing hook that captures an audience’s interest from the point of the beginning. Brainstorm ideas for visually appealing pictures, and interesting subtitles for intriguing audiences through questions that catch their attention and keep them engaged as they watch your video. Remember you only have a few seconds to manifest a vivid and striking image, thus use them wisely to the maximum.

 

2. Do your best to preserve the Natural Touch and Starlight

 

Being authentic in your presentation of Stories has a vital role to play in building that sense of connection with your audience on Instagram. Reveal behind-the-scenes looks of yourself, your work processes, or your average adventurous day, frequently, for your followers to catch a glimpse into your more authentic you. Get real, make yourself understandable, and please don't be afraid of showing your inner you — your audience will appreciate the realistic side of you and feel more connected with you.

 

3. Use Interactive Features

 

Amongst all of these, Instagram provides interesting stickers to make a story even more amazing which will also help you get more engagement from your viewers.

Interactive features not only make film more lively but also deliver important results about your target keeping resonation with their interests and qualifications.

 

4. Create Engaging Visuals

Whether it is the content you produce or your delivery, make sure it is dynamic and engaging, as it will wow your viewers from start to finish.

 

5. Tell a Story

 

Stories is a sub-tool of Instagram that is meant to feed your fans with stories. Rather than considering every Story as an independent one sent for publication, view them as derived or developed from your larger story as a whole. Develop continuous narratives that journey your audience through a story, whether it's taking the audience on the journey of a project behind the scenes, or revealing a single day in your life, or giving the audience tips and advice on a certain subject. Through your own storytelling, you'll be able to keep your audience involved and drawn to you time and time again.

Do not forget to announce your audiences about the upcoming Stories and make sure that they know where to swipe in order to discover the full content. Moreover, you can cross-promote your Stories across other social media channels or have a partner with influencers so that you can reach new followers and advantage interaction.

Moreover, evaluate on a regular basis the performance of your Instagram Stories and look at the possibility of improving your strategy to get better insights.
