3 Ways To Boost Your Engagement On Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories are a great way to engage your followers! Stories allow you to share photo and video content in real-time without it cluttering your profile or aesthetic grid. Instagram Stories are also time-sensitive content encouraging followers to view your content immediately. 

If you are not already, I would highly recommend posting to your Instagram stories regularly. If you are posting to your stories consistently, congratulations, but there are still things you can learn to help improve your stories. 

Stories require a lot of work and effort to capture the content and create an aesthetic. So it is important that you do everything you can to make sure your followers view and engage with your story.

Here are 3 Things You Can Do or Add to Your Instagram Stories to Boost Your Engagement:

01. GO LIVE

Going live on Instagram stories is a great way to connect in real-time with your audience in an authentic manner. Utilizing Instagram live effectively is a great way to engage with your audience and provide them with valuable information and insights as well as allows for Q & A discussion.

02. INSERT POLL

The poll sticker on your Instagram stories allows you to ask your followers a question and lets them choose between two responses. Once your audience chooses a response, they can automatically view the live poll results. The poll feature plays into your followers' innate desire to share their opinions and view the general consensus

03. ASK A QUESTION

The question sticker is another great engagement tool for Instagram stories because you can directly ask genuine questions to your followers and share your answers. This allows you to directly engage with your audience and address their concerns and provides them with valuable content that they are specifically interested in.

Going live, inserting a poll, or asking a question might not increase your engagement overnight but they are easy tools that when used effectively and consistently can improve your engagement over time. So the next time you create an Instagram Story, think about incorporating one of these simple tools to draw in more followers and encourage them to take action on behalf of your brand. You’ll soon start to see a boost in your Instagram Stories engagement!
