Why do my Instagram stories get so few views?
THE SHORT ANSWER
Stories get few views because they are only shown to your followers, and Instagram puts them in an order based on who interacts with you most. If people rarely reply, react or tap through your stories, you slide to the back of their row. Posting long runs of stories that people skip has the same effect. Fewer, better frames with something to tap, such as a poll or question box, will bring you back toward the front.
What to do
- 1Post three to six frames a day, not twenty.
- 2Add a poll, quiz or question sticker to at least one.
- 3Put your strongest frame first.
- 4Reply to every story reply to build two-way contact.
- 5Post stories daily so you stay in the row.
The common mistake
Using stories only to say "new post". People tap past, which teaches Instagram to show your stories later.
WHERE KLIK FITS
KLIK looks after your scheduled posts and Reels across platforms, which frees a few minutes each day for the quick, in-the-moment stories followers respond to.
