I feel like I'm talking a little bit robotic. Is it coming across weird?
Sounds the same as all your other videos.
Okay. I haven't lost my ability to speak.
I'm like nervous now with you here. Ready?
Alright.
Have you been hearing all the buzz about Instagram Reels and its amazing organic
reach, but you're feeling overwhelmed at yet another thing to learn?
If you've ever struggled with learning a brand new feature for Instagram or
struggled with video marketing in general,
you're in the right place because today I'm going to share with you my top three
effects that you can use when making Reels for your business.
And stay tuned until the end where I'm going to share my number one most
favorite effect for Instagram Reels that will help you share customer
testimonials and answer any objections that your potential customers might
have. What I'm about to share in today's video has worked for my student,
Becky Keen,
who generated over 2000 views to her very first Reel all thanks to
this training. I'm Elise Darma and I've helped thousands of entrepreneurs,
freelancers and creatives like yourself use Instagram to actually
make dollars back to their business. And in today's video,
I'm going to share with you my top three favorite effects for Instagram Reels.
So first things first,
I'm going to quickly review how to find Reels in the Instagram app and how to
find effects.
So I have my Instagram open and I like to go to the
camera icon in the upper left. There we are.
And you could see at the bottom you have three options, Live, Story and Reels.
So I'm just going to tap Reels.
And now I'm in the editing function of Reels.
There's one other way to get here. So I'll just quickly show.
If you're on your profile, notice the plus button in the upper left,
you can also hit that and then hit Reel.
And then you're going to be in the editing functionality of Reels. There I am.
Okay. Now where to find effects in Reels.
I want you to tap on the sparkly,
happy face on the left hand side,
and that's where you're going to find Effects. Okay?
So you can see that it's highlighted.
Now notice at the bottom that a few effects appeared.
So these are effects that I have used in my Stories.
And you can see that I can just scroll through and the effects are appearing.
Now, how do you find the effects that I'm recommending in today's video? Well,
notice that I am in this effect called "Papaya Pink".
What you're going to do is tap the name of this effect.
Then you're going to tap the button "browse effects".
Now I'm in Instagram's effects library.
This is where you're going to find all the effects that I'm going to share with
you today.
So the very first effect I want to share with you helps your Reels stand out.
Here's what it's called: "square film" or another one's called "8MM".
I'm going to find them in the app and show you what they look like. Okay?
So just tap the search button and type in "square film".
And you could see this option right here is the effect that I'm referring to.
So here you get a little preview of it. Once you've found it,
you're going to hit "try it". And there you go.
Now you can see the effect.
So there's nothing too fancy beyond what you see here.
But the reason why I like this for business owners is because it's going to make
your Reel pop.
So that's one effect that I recommend to really make your Reel stand out.
I want to show you another one and it's called "8MM". So again,
tap into the name, tap "browse effects", tap this, the search bar
and type in "8MM". So there we go.
And let's hit "try it".
"What you're going to do in B2B is this." So you can see that it gives you a
bit of a retro effect.
So if this suits your brand or even the tip that you're going to share,
or the music choice that you choose,
I highly recommend to check out one of those effects to really make your video
stand out.
The second effect that I really like for businesses when making Reels is
called "small business Q & A". So let's go ahead and find it.
So again, inside of the Reels editing feature,
you're going to hit the happy face.
Then you're going to hit the title of whatever effect is down there.
Then you're going to hit "browse effects" and then you're going to type in
"small business",
spell it correctly, "small business Q and A". There it is.
Okay. So you can see that this is a effect that Alice Benham made.
So go ahead and tap it and then hit "try it". Okay.
So what I'm going to do to get this effect to work is hit the record button,
and then I'm also going to tap what's on my head.
I'll show you what this looks like.
"I'm currently working on..." "Today I'm currently working on my YouTube channel
because I'm filming with Effie." All right.
So the reason why I like that effect is because it asks you a question that you
can share that's relevant to your business.
So the creator of the effect has brainstormed a ton of questions.
You can do exactly what I did,
tap the little title and you're going to be given a question that you can answer
on the spot in less than 15 seconds.
So go ahead and try this kind of Reel if you're ever at a loss for
ideas of what to share.
The last effect that I really love to use when creating Instagram Reels is the
"green screen" effect.
This effect is really great because you can actually pull up screenshots from
your camera roll. They could be testimonials.
They could be questions that you got via email,
and then you can appear on camera and actually answer them.
So let me show you what this looks like. Once again, here I am in Reels,
I'm going to tap the happy face.
And actually the green screen effect is one of my favorited
effects. So again,
you can tap on the title and you can see here that I have saved it.
So it's going to be at the bottom, but if ever, you can't find it,
do exactly what I've showed you already, which is where you tap on any title,
hit "browse effects", and then type in the name "green screen".
And in this case, this is green screen by Instagram. Okay?
So you can see the green screen behind me.
Then I'm going to tap "add media" and I'm actually going to pull open this.
This is a student of mine who basically used my product Story Vault
and got seven sales from it. So that's really great to show.
So you can see that it doesn't really fit my screen that well.
So what I'm going to do is zoom out a little bit. Okay.
There you go.
And the area of the screenshot that I actually want to highlight is right behind
my head. So when you're using the green screen,
you're going to want to position yourself a little out of frame or
you're going to have to duck. Okay. So just based on my setup right now,
I'm going to have to duck. So let me show you what this looks like.
Once you have your screenshot positioned,
what you're going to do is hit the record button and then point or
kind of dance, or like kind of underline what you want to highlight.
So let me show you what this looks like.
A little bit awkward, but let me show you the preview.
Basically what I'm trying to do is highlight the results that she got in this
screenshot.
Seven of them placed an order. Awesome. Okay. So this is a great way,
like I said, to showcase a testimonial,
or you can also showcase a question that you got in your DMs,
or even in your email, let me show you what this looks like. So once again,
here I am inside of the green screen effect,
I'm going to tap "add media" and I already prepared a question.
It was a DM that someone sent me.
So I'm just going to pinch to make sure that you can actually see it.
Alright. And so now what I'm going to do is hold the record button.
I'm going to quickly read the question and I'm also going to answer it.
So here's what it looks like. "Hey Elise,
I've been looking at your offer and it looks good.
I'm wondering if these Story Vault prompts will help us who own an online
clothing store." "Yes. You get 400 B2C prompts,
which you can definitely adapt for the fashion industry." Okay.
So there you go. I had to quickly, um, read the question and answer it,
but I'll show you what this looks like. "Hey Elise.
I've been looking at your offer and it looks good.
I'm wondering if these Story Vault prompts will help us who own an online
clothing store?" "Yes. You get 400 B2C prompts,
which you can definitely adapt for the fashion industry."
So it's just that simple using the green screen effect. Going forward,
I'd encourage you to screenshot any questions that you get in the DMs or in your
emails. And as you can see from this demo, if you use a vertical screenshot,
that's going to fit the dimensions of the green screen effect a little bit
better. Alright, there you have it.
