I wouldn't call myself an expert in making social media reels. In fact I have only ever made around 30 reels.

However, I have spent hours watching reels and learning how to reach your audience and use the algorithm to your favor. There is no secret that the algorithm favors consistency over time.

Here's how I first got interested in making reels.

I have been recording music for 3 years. Before this I have been in chorus and performed in different musical theater plays. Now after recording music and having my own music I am ready to stamp my name in the Industry. The game is different now as social media has opened up a whole new space for artists. You can reach your own audience and have people listen to your music without the backing of a label. The most effective way to reach an audience is through social media reels.

So my goal over the next 3-6 months is:

To release reels daily for at least 3 months on Instagram and TikTok. Preferably 6 months, which is around 180 reels. I will try different styles, each finding a way to promote myself and my music and find the format that is most engaging to an audience. I may not be a superstar after this, but I will definitely have made progress. One step at a time.
