20+ Ideas For Instagram video
If you haven't heard by now, Instagram announced IGTV on June 20th 2018.
UPDATE: IGTV is just Instagram Video now, but these ideas still apply!
It's a new way to share even more video content on the app. First they introduced videos in the feed (2013), then insta stories was born (2016) and of course LIVE (2016) and now we have IGTV (2018).
Since it *just* launched, we're all still learning about it. So I thought I'd share my initial ideas on how to utilize this new part of Instagram!
Keep in mind that IG video works best with vertical full frame video!
Share an educational/how-to video
News about a product or service
BTS footage that's longer than stories
An interview (if you don't want to do it LIVE together)
An amazing LIVE you did that was packed with value, save & upload to your channel
A longer highlight reel
Travel films
Q&A
a mini series
Cooking
Product spotlight/Product in action
Business milestones
Meet the team/introduce yourself
A tour
Day in the life
Reviews (books, products, etc...)
Challenges
Bloopers
Walkthroughs
Explain the timeline/process of one of your services
Tell a story (IGTV would be a better place if the story will take several or more IG stories to tell)
Recap a blog post. If you have great blog content, why not share it with more people that prefer listening/watching compared to reading?
It will give you the opportunity to create YouTube type content right within the app of Instagram. Our stories are great little bites of content, but now if you have something that will take a lot of stories to share, it might work better on IGTV! Or both? We're all still learning how to best use Instagram video.
