While they were technically created from an entertainment perspective, Instagram and Facebook reels are a great opportunity for you to connect with your ideal customer.
Welcome to the show notes! Remember, this is a brief summary from the How to Market Your Horse Business podcast. You'll want to listen to the entire episode for all the good stuff!
The popularity of reels has been exploding on Instagram for a while, and now you’re seeing them more and more on Facebook as well.
Do you know what that means for you as a business? Reels is where it’s at right now in terms of getting your content in front of more of the right people.
And, I don’t want you to miss out because you aren’t sure where to start. Or, because you’re making them but you don’t really know why and if they serve a purpose other than entertainment.
Last fall, in my Social Stride monthly coaching program we dove into reels and even did a reels challenge. My members got comfortable not just with making reels, but with making them with some intention or purpose behind them.
We’re gearing up for another reels challenge inside of Social Stride in May! So, if you’ve been wanting to try reels but you’ve been nervous or unsure or overwhelmed by them, I’d love for you to join our challenge. You’ll even get immediate access to the reels tutorial I did just for members.
So, in light of the upcoming reels challenge, I thought you might also like to see how you can use reels to build your business online.
