in this article I’m going to share with you how you can increase your story views on Facebook and Instagram.
In Instagram and Facebook because they belong to the same company, So that’s what a lot of people come to me and say, Suninsta, I want to make money from my stories.Getting ten and fifty and one hundred thousand and ten thousand and twenty thousand and one hundred thousand people are viewing them how do I make money what is the strategy I want to go deeper and beyond the strategy because if you want a simple strategy to use the hook story suggestion like Russell Branson talks about a lot of click funnel founders so, the first story is a hook, the second, the third, the fourth story , will be the story, and then the last story will be the call to action, invitation, suggestion, whatever triple or 5x the number of people who are viewing your stories that’s a great way to also double triple or 5x your sales as well okay so the strategy itself is great but I really want to talk to you about how you can increase a story view so step number one here is you can do something called a story reset right now a story reset is simply when you don’t post anything on your stories for 24 hours so let’s say on a Friday you post three stories one at 9:00 a.m. 10: a.m. and then 11:00 a.m. well by Saturday 11:00 a.m. or 11:01 you will have no stories on your story now so then you make sure you leave that maybe you’re going to leave it for one day two days I always kind of avoid posting on Saturdays it’s kind of my guilt-free time away from social media where I’m not thinking oh I need to post something and if I don’t post anything then my social media algorithm are going to go to waste not true if you give it 24 hours you’re going to be more than appreciated by everyone .
the second thing is actually engaging with the people who view your stories right actually engaging with them because a lot of people they will watch your stories and never say anything right they’ll just watch and watch and watch and watch and watch and maybe get to the stage where they don’t want to reach out because it’s not something that they do they don’t want to instigate the conversation they just want to watch watch watch watch watch so here’s what you want to do at least once a week okay let’s say you have five stories active right and you posted them at 8:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. another one at 9 :10 and 11 right just say there 8:00 a.m. till 11:00 a.m. and they’re about different things this one is like you going to the gym this is you having your breakfast this is you reading a book this is you on your way to work this is
you mentioning a quote whatever it might be what you want to do at say 10 a.m. the next day I want you to go on this story and swipe up because when you swipe up on a story what it’s going to do is it’s going to give you the information on who has watched it now if you have 100 people watch the first one it will probably do something like this it will probably deteriorate right A lot of people will go I’m not interested in this person they follow you but they’re more interested in other people okay so you got 40 people 40 people have gone through all the content that you posted now it works better the more content you do the more qualified the actual person is so you’re going to do your absolute best to reach out to these people especially ones you’ve never reached out to before and say hey how you doing hey I saw you checking out my stories what’s up whatever it is don’t over complicate the message don’t be weird just say hey how you doing when you swipe up on the story it will say their name so let’s say Suni.nsta and there’ll be the paper airplane which is the share button where you can click on that and send them a message and it will send them a message by basically linking it to this story now when people engage with you and become friends with you guess what they do they check out and follow your stories more or they start to say hey this is awesome or they start to give love hearts whatever it might be and that comes on to the third thing encourage reactions so again when you engage with other people and you engage on their stories guess what they’re more likely to do engage on your stories engage on what you’re sharing hitting the love heart sending the little fire Emoji sharing it with a friend whatever it might be so if You Give Love on to other people they will love onto you back those are like three super Basics that everyone knows but I really want to give you some stuff that the majority of people don’t know now on Instagram you will know that there’s two feeds there’s the vertical feed and the horizontal feed.
now the vertical feed are the ones that posts like this right post one two three right that we scroll like this but the horizontal feed is where you’ve got your own profile then if someone’s live and then you’ve got story story story story right so let’s do it like this now the further you are away from the left hand side meaning the further right you are the less likely you are going to get people actually look at your stories so think about it think about all the accounts you follow that you’ve probably follow influencers that you’ve come across celebrities actors singers songwriters football players sports stars friends you went to school with and then someone that they found a good post on social media once and they clicked follow because they thought it cost me nothing to follow them so why not so you’re all the way here you’re not even on the feed think about it how often have you gone and search the top you just go on there and you just click Boop start at the beginning and just let the algorithm trust the algorithm is going to give me the content that I want to see so your goal is to get to the closest to the left the further you are to the left the more views you will get right the idea is that you can get a 100 people in a room who follow you and say hey who’s the first account that you see or who’s the first three people you see when you open Instagram up on the stories feed the goal is to have as many of those 100 people say you like oh
Suninsta Suninsta Suninsta by the way if you don’t already follow on in stagram I post six times a week on Instagram you can follow Me @ suni.nsta online .
so how do we get there right number one is percentage viewed so what this means is imagine that you’ve got a 10-second story right it could be something written it could be talking to the camera it could be a video it could be a photo whatever it might be what are you doing that ensures that someone watches it not just once but multiple times now there are kind of two ways Number One People Press the back button it’s not necessarily a back button but if this was Instagram right and you’ve got a story right you’ve got your active story here are the bars there’s three stories these will fill up right if you press this side you go to the next person’s story so if you click this button you will go to the next story and the next story and then when there’s no more stories so on if you click this side of the screen it will go back to the previous persons if you swipe it will skip right so number one how you get more percentage viewed is imagine someone watches all the story it skips to the next one and they click back to watch it again they click back to watch it again they’ve watched it four times that’s 400% viewed amazing you will see that will put you closer to the left hand side leap frogging over the person to the left of you the second one let’s called holding this is where people hold on to their screen and it stops the timer visually right so this just stops it doesn’t go to the end it just stops however Facebook Instagram they know everything they know exactly
where you’re spending time because when they know exactly where you’re spending time guess what they can do put more of that in front of you using the algorithm to ensure that you spend more time on the platform all right it’s crazy we often forget hang on a minute I follow a thousand people but I seem to keep saying the same 50 to 100 people posts all the time does that mean the other 950 people aren’t active no no it just means the algorithm has suggested that you’re not really interested in their content but as soon as you then go and find their content and engage guess whose content you start seeing right surprise surp surpris it’s very simple but very very smart all right so when you press and hold the algorithm is still clocking it so let’s say this is a 10-second story and you watch 8 seconds and then you hold 9 10 11 12 maybe you’re reading what’s on the screen maybe you’re trying to find out what’s going on in the background maybe it’s something you’re trying to find out the logo on the T-shirt whatever it is this is going to increase the stories viewed which is the key it’s also the key on Facebook it’s also the key on lives it’s also the key on real and it’s definitely the key on YouTube now you can do this in a few ways but there’s two that I’m going to share with you number one don’t be afraid to write a lot of text in your stories making sure there is a very strong hook at the top so what I do is I go on a new story I click the drawer icon I select a color let’s say black I press and hold the screen and it fills the whole screen with the black color then I’ll type something I’ll say something like important lesson in capitals or you’ve got to know this or screenshot this is one that I’ve used and then I’ll write maybe like three paragraphs something that I know will take longer than 10 15 seconds to read now what then’s going to happen is I
post that and it’s usually the first post I make after a story reset so again 24 hours no stories and then bang the second way is by making a mistake on purpose right you could say so I was uh I was doing some numbers the other day and you know I I realized that I had1 pound in my wallet uh and £30 in my bank account so I could not believe I only have £50 to my name you make a mistake on purpose now you can’t keep doing this you do this on your reals you do this in your stories you do this on your lives people will go huh what the heck did he 10 30 definitely 40 right but he said 50 okay so that’s the second example the third one is saying or doing something controversial or purposely have stuff going on in the background I remember I did a story 5 years ago right and I was walking I was walking the dog at the time we had a Labradoodle called Alfie is no longer with us but he was I loved him right and I was walking and Alfie was following behind and he squatted to do his doggy dooos right he he made a poop in the park and I kind of zoomed in on his face and he kind of looked at me like what are you doing and it got so many view that story in particular got
so thousands tens of thousands of views why because people were watching the whole thing not just once not just twice but three times because it looked like the dog was smiling going I don’t do this to you when you’re making a poop leave me alone it was really crazy super crazy okay so again like maybe the dogs humping the pillar in the background maybe there’s just someone walking past and going yeah whatever it might be some
of it is going to be accidental some of it’s going to be purposeful you get your partner kind of just put their head out there towards the end right like middle to end not the beginning right you hook them in in the beginning yourself using your words or like hey right always look for hooks to keep people in not just to the beginning part but also the second and third part the second thing that most people don’t talk about which is kind of crazy is the actual most important weight that will determine how you get close to the left on the story feed because that’s the K got to get to the left hand side of the feed and it’s not quizzes it’s not polls it’s not question boxes it’s not the Emoji stickers it’s not the reactions it’s not the little love heart it’s not determined by the number of saves or shares it gets it’s determined by this one thing at the bottom of someone’s story there are three things this is called send message this is a love heart and then it’s like a paper airplane to share it so share love send message the send message is by far the most important thing that you’ve got to get people doing why think about it this way when someone sees your poll and they go yes or no let’s say it says do you
like action movies yes or no they click yes and they’re on to the next person right ask me anything they click uh like what pizza do you like and they’re on to the next thing let’s say you make it super easy for someone to message you hey if you’ve been following me for more than 6 months I would love for you to let me know use the comments down below use to send message button right they then say I followed you since school so guess what you’re then going to start and reconnect with that person or connect with that person that’s what social media was all about connecting to the world one person at a time right but when you are texting someone when someone messages you what happens you get a notification so when you get a notification what do you do you click on the notification and when you clicked on the notification where do you go back on to Instagram or Facebook depending on the platform now you’re spending more time on the platform which is what they want because they know you don’t just go into the messenger and then leave the app the majority people go into the messenger and then they go and check out people’s stories oh just have aom . back to the office oh yeah whatever back to life so this is the most important part so you’ve got a number one focus on if if you’re doing 12 stories a day and you’re like ah you know it’s just not going up it’s not going it’s not increasing it’s because the percentage viewed that you have is super bad so maybe go from 12 a day to like three a day but make those three like figure out how you’re going to get people to watch them multiple times I’ve given you a bunch of ideas before right the first one could be something that you know people are going to press and hold the second one could be a video with like someone popping their head in the sideways halfway
through it sounds like a lot of effort but if you’re at 100 story views now and you can get to 500 to 1,000 it’d be well worth your time wouldn’t it cuz you know you know you’re going to be able to make more sales that way and then once a week at least but really every single flipping day if you can make it easy hey I want to hear from you what’s your favorite food don’t use the question box don’t use the quizzes or the polls get people to message you cuz that’s how you can build a business all business is conversation the more conversations you have the more money you’ll make on social media right and if you’re just using social media for the sake of it I challenge you because you’re here for a reason why do you want your story views
to it to increase and that’s where you should start really I want my story views to increase because fill in the blank after that then you can start getting a little bit more strategic with what you’re actually going to do so I hope there was something in there that you got value on I’m really glad that you stayed here .
