Tangible Tips for Cake Decorators Creating Reels
Have you been struggling to fit making reels into your already busy schedule? I avoided them forever until I found a way to make them fast and easy.
Here are my tips for making quick reels that actually reach your audience:
Follow @reelstips and select one of the trending audios. (Trending audios help boost your post to a wider audience.)
Use templates from other creators! Type your audio of choice into the search bar (make sure to click the audio tab after the search). Once you’ve found the audio, search through the posts with that audio for a template that you like and click the “use template” icon at the bottom left. Not every post is a template but there are generally a variety of templates to choose from.
Add videos/photos of your choice into the template. We’ve found that people enjoy seeing process shots so we take videos as we work if we are excited about a design. The cinematic mode on newer phone models helps to block out a busy kitchen background.
That’s it! You can honestly do this in 5 minutes if you have content to work with. I am by no means a reels expert, but I found that having a simple way to make reels means that I can actually find the time to post them.
