5 Ways to get social media content ideas for your Instagram account

WISH YOU ALWAYS HAD GREAT IDEAS? 💡 Maintaining a creative mindset while producing content efficiently can be challenging. 🔥 From trending audio to Reels templates, Instagram has plenty of options to help you find what’s popular now. Here are five ways to get social media content ideas for your Instagram account: 1️⃣ Create a Favorites List Similar to Facebook, Instagram has the option to build a list of favorite accounts whose content is automatically placed closer to the top of the feed. But unlike Facebook, Instagram also lets you view your favorite accounts in a dedicated feed. To create a list of favorites, identify and follow an account you find inspirational. Then tap the Following button and select Add to Favorites. 2️⃣ Find and Follow Hashtags Use the in-app search to look up topics and then go to the Tags tab. Note that the most popular hashtags (i.e., those with millions of posts) can include a lot of spammy content. Instead, consider following one of the hashtags that's a bit less popular but still relevant to your organization. You can tap to preview any hashtag's content and make sure it's useful to your team. 3️⃣ Check Add Yours Prompts In addition to checking the Explore tab, take a look at the top Add Your prompts. To find them, tap to create a new Reel and select Add Yours from the menu. Here, you can see a couple of dozen popular prompts, along with the total number of Reels using the prompts. Tap to join any of the conversations or simply use the prompts to inspire your next Reel. 4️⃣ Browse Reels Templates Swiping through Reels templates can also give you inspiration for your next short-form video. Did a great Reel catch your eye in the feed? Tap to open the Reels menu and select Use as Template. If you aren't ready to start creating immediately, save the Reel so you can access the template later. 5️⃣ Look for Trending Audio Prefer to get inspiration from trending audio instead? To access Instagram's audio library, tap to create a new Reel and select Audio from the menu. Then scroll through the library and tap to listen to any track. Instagram automatically displays the number of times each track has been used, making it easy to find popular music. Note that if you have a business Instagram account, you won't get access to commercial audio, but you can still use the library to find great royalty-free music for your Reels.
