The Instagram Reels Posting Checklist (every artist should know this)

$0.00 $10.00

You can make a great reel and still kill its reach in the first hour.

Most artists blame the algorithm when a reel flops. Often it’s what they did right after posting: sharing it to Stories, rewatching it five times, refreshing every few seconds, or pushing a trial straight to their main feed. Instagram notices all of that, and it quietly limits how far your video travels.

This checklist is the exact posting system I use on my own account to grow to over 25K followers in 7 months. It covers how to use Trial Reels as a low-pressure testing ground (like running ads, without the ad spend), when to leave a winning trial alone, and how to repost it to your main feed without getting flagged for duplicate content. It also covers the timing gap that’s been working for me right now, the drafts workflow I post from, and the 5 habits that silently hurt your reach.

It’s one page you can keep open every time you post, so your songs get the reach they deserve.
