The Instagram Explore page and reels tab are both places where your content gets high engagement. Everyone wants to get their Content on both tabs.
There is nothing more frustrating than seeing your reels view on Instagram is 0. Every creator dreams of having more than 100k views on a single reels.
I know this because I have been there many times.
Sometimes it seems that no matter what you do, nothing works. It looks like the Instagram algorithm hates your content, and you have no idea why your reels’ videos don’t go viral.
If this all sounds too familiar, you are in the right place.

2. Try with New Instagram Account.
Did you believe in Instagram shadowban? Many say that it exists, and some say that it does not exist but the reality is that yes shadowban is real and it exists.
There is no tool or software that can detect whether your Instagram account is suffering from shadowban or not. There’s only one way to find out if your reels and posts are not getting any impressions or reach, it means your account is on Shadowban. Shadowbans are caused by using irrelevant hashtags or abusive content that is against the Instagram Community Guidelines.
So, try with a new Instagram account ID and see what works and what doesn’t.
3. Instagram Trending Music & Audios
Instagram has a huge library of music and audio with insights. Where you can see what music is trending on the Instagram reels. Maybe you have also experienced this as if you have seen a reels and you have liked or saved that video. Instagram algorithm continually suggests to you this type of reels with viral audio.
Basically, Try the Instagram music library to make reels, it gives your content a massive reach with your desired audience.
4. Don’t Delete Old Content
You upload the reels to your account and after 1 hour you see that your content gets some views and you delete it because you think the video was not triggered or the content is performing poorly. This is the worst mistake content creators can make.
To understand this you have to understand the Instagram reels algorithm.
Here’s what happens when you post a reels on Instagram.
When you post your reels on Instagram. The algorithm suggests reels to 10% of your followers. If 10% of the followers engage with your content then the algorithm pushes your reels video to the same interested audience and then this process continues.
So, don’t delete your content too quickly, wait for at least 7 days. Sometimes it takes time for the reels to be triggered on the Instagram algorithm.
5. Entertain Your Followers
It doesn’t matter what hashtags you use, what songs you use and their duration, the only thing that matters on Instagram is whether your content is entertaining your audience. Or not.
As we explained about the algorithm, it only transmitted your content to others when 10% of your followers engaged and respond to your reels. And engagement on reels comes to entertainment. so entertain your audience with the quality of content. because if they like your content probably they will share it with their followers.
6. Structure of Your Reels
