Strut It: Bold Visibility through Instagram Marketing

Instagram Growth in 2025: Why Reels Still Work (and How to Do Them Right)


Listen Later

If you’re posting Reels without seeing growth, you’re not alone. Reels are still the #1 driver of reach on Instagram, but most business owners are missing a few key steps that make the difference between content that falls flat and content that attracts clients.

I’m walking you through the three non-negotiable steps to creating Instagram Reels that grow your business. You’ll also hear how the newest Instagram updates—Trial Reels, reposts, and deeper analytics—impact your strategy in 2025.

If you want to stop wasting time on content that doesn’t convert and start creating scroll-stopping Reels that bring the right people into your world, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

[02:12] Why Reels are still the #1 driver of visibility in 2025
 [04:01] Step 1: Clarity and focus—why niching down is the foundation of growth
 [06:45] Step 2: The 3 E’s of high-value content (educate, entertain, engage)
 [10:20] Step 3: The mindset shift that makes Reels easier and more effective
 [13:32] How Trial Reels work—and how not to get penalized by the limits
 [15:08] New analytics that show exactly when people drop off and engage
 [16:40] Why reposts are on the rise and how to leverage them for visibility
 [19:27] Behind the scenes of Hot Reels—how members are applying this system

Key Takeaways:

  • Clarity wins on Instagram. If your niche and message aren’t clear, your content won’t connect.
  • The three E’s (educate, entertain, engage) make your Reels binge-worthy and shareable.
  • Reels are still the most powerful visibility tool on IG, but they only work when tied to your business goals.
  • Trial Reels, reposts, and analytics give you more tools than ever—if you use them strategically.
  • Growth doesn’t come from being “viral” or funny—it comes from content that connects with your dream clients.
