The Top 10 Highest-Earning Instagram Stars

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

633 million followers
$3,432,000 per post

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to sit at the top of the list with the highest-ever potential earning, making an average of $ 3.4 million per post compared to $3.2 million per post last year. Not only is Cristiano Ronaldo at the forefront of the Instagram rich list but also the top 2024 Social Media Unicorn, with a total following of 945,000,000 million.

2. Lionel Messi

503 million followers
$2,731.000 per post

It’s no surprise that Lionel Messi places himself right behind his competitor Ronaldo. The increase of around 30 million followers may have come from his successful move to MLS and media partnership with Apple TV last summer, but it’s also inextricably linked to who he is as a person.

3. Selena Gomez

426 million followers
$2,560,000 per post

Selena Gomez still holds strong in 3rd place on the Instagram Richlist. With not much change in followers or price per post, she continues to be the most followed female profile in the world. Even though recently shared her relationship with Benny Blanco, this has not impact her presence one bit!

4. Kylie Jenner

399 million followers
$2,395,000 per post

Kylie Jenner, who used to be the runner-up, has fallen to 4th place in the 2023 Instagram Rich List but continues to hold her position for 2024. With the release of her new brand, Khy, you would think that her popularity would have increased more than just 2 million, however, she might have not gotten the success she hoped for with it.

5. Dwayne Johnson

396 million  followers
$2,382,000 per post

Dwayne Johnson, commonly known as “The Rock” continues at 5th on the 2024 Rich List, the same position as in 2023 and 2022.  However, with a 9 million increase in followers since last year, proven to be one of the social media favorites. It might be due to his presence in several types of entertainment, from movies to game shows like Titan that came out on Netflix earlier this year.

6. Ariana Grande

378 million followers
$2,272,000 per post

Ariana Grande with an increase of 1 million followers, still holds at 6th place in the 2024 Instagram Rich List. The release of her most recent album “Internal Sunshine” is most likely the culprit of this slight jump in followings. We may be looking at another jump in followers with the release of her next movie “Wicked”.

7. Kim Kardashian

361 million followers
$2,172,000 per post

At 7th place you can find Kim Kardashian, who’s dropped down to this position since 2022 as she has gotten quite a bit of backlash when it comes to her partnership with Balenciaga. Now she has lost another 1 million followers, which many are relating to the diss track, “thanK you aIMee” in Talor Swifts new album.

8. Beyonce

317 million followers
$1,908,000 per post

Beyonce however, has kept her eighth place for the fourth year in a row! The Queen B continues to keep her place in the top 10 richest Instagram celebrities. Her Renassiance Tour where her daughter Blue Ivy was present, has contributed to the 3 million increase in followers.

9. Khloe Kardashian

310 million followers
$1,865,236 per post

Khloe Kardashian jumps to 9th place, shown to be a favourite amongst the Kardashian fans. Making her the 3rd best-paid Kardashian/Jenner after Kylie and Kim. Having had a tough time with her relationship with Tristian Thompson and the birth of her second child, she has won her fans’ hearts. 

10. Justin Bieber

293 million followers
$1,762,436 per post

Justin Bieber continues to hold the 10 best-paid Instagram celebrities, his following and cost per post however, haven’t made much growth compared to 2023. With Hailey Biebers’ recent pregnancy announcement, we should expect Justin to fall lower in the rankings as he starts his “dad life”.

Kim this year is in 8th compared to her 6th place position last year, while Khloe lowered one position to 10th place.

The pitfalls of a cyberattack are immense—you not only lose money or access to your page but also risk ruining the trust and reputation you’ve built for your brand. In this article, we’ll be discussing 8 security measures for businesses that should be implemented to protect themselves and their customers on social media. But first, you need to understand the types of security risks to know what to look out for.

Common social media business security risks

Here are the common social media risks every business owner should be aware of:

Try Hopper HQ Now

1. Phishing attacks and scams

The most common type of attack—phishing and spam emails are age-old cyberattacks that rely on user slip-ups. Hackers send malicious links to your social media inbox pretending to be authentic sources. Only to steal login data or page access when you click on them. 

2. Human error

You’d be surprised to know that 82% of cybersecurity breaches can be traced back to simple human errors. Lack of awareness and training often allows interns or social media managers to share sensitive data with hackers. This can be pieced together to launch full-blown attacks.

3. Malware attacks and hacks

Coordinated, brute-force attacks on social media handles are not uncommon. Phishing scams, apart from using fake login pages, can also inject malware into your device to steal information and take over the entire device. 

4. Unsecured mobile phones

Mobile-first platforms such as TikTok and Instagram heavily depend on employees’ smartphones. Since you’re running a business, these devices should be part of mobile device management (MDM). Otherwise, they can act as a backdoor to business. That’s why it’s important to ensure that your phone system is up-to-date and meets the strictest security standards.

5. Unattended social media accounts

It’s a good idea to maintain a consistent, omnichannel presence across social media platforms. But it can become tedious, especially for B2B brands, to stay active on all the platforms when the presence doesn’t justify the ROI. In such cases, brands often leave social media accounts unattended which can allow hackers to carry out scams en masse. 

6. Connected apps

Businesses link multiple social media accounts with apps to automate workflow and enrich CRM data. But not all apps are created equal. When you give third-party apps access to your account, you also run the risk of cyberattacks carried through vulnerable apps. That’s why it’s important to understand access settings and vet the apps before connecting them.

7. Privacy settings

Your online security often boils down to privacy settings. Hackers learn from posts and interactions only to launch highly targeted social engineering attacks. You can restrict access to followers and geo-block certain posts to mitigate the issues. Reviewing privacy settings once in a while can help your business stay one step ahead of cyber criminals. 

8. Catfishing

Social media provides fertile ground for cyber criminals to not only commit identity fraud but launch catfishing at scale. It’s important to understand who you interact with as a business and refrain from sharing important information unless you’re sure of the other person’s identity.

Risks of social media use for your business security

The power of social media is undeniable for small businesses. Even though you get to reach millions of new customers and engage your audience. You also add security headaches by signing up on a website you have little control over. 

In case you become a victim of a cyberattack on social media, here are the types of risks you need to evaluate:

• Loss of sensitive data: This can range from login details to internal documents
• Loss of intellectual property: Scammers and identity thieves often take over accounts to steal IP and spread fraudulent content
• Reputation risks: Social media is all about building a community of loyal audiences—cyberattacks cause irreparable damage to that trust. 
• Data leak: If your business is attacked, sensitive customer data may have been leaked to the dark web where hackers can buy and sell personally identifiable information (PII). 

8 Recommended Security Measures For Businesses on Social Media

The good news is that businesses have all the power to bolster social media security. By following these steps you can control how your business accounts are presented online and keep cyber criminals away.

These are important steps to take throughout all your business processes. From developing an auditor checklist pre-evaluation to refining your employee onboarding. Ensure you’re always considering security, whether it’s for social output or not. 

1. Choose individual strong passwords

Using strong passwords is a no-brainer today, but most businesses don’t know what a strong password looks like. 

• Hackers use automated tools to crack easily guessed passwords. Such as generic personal information or phrases so it’s important to use unique, alphanumeric codes (numbers, letters, and symbols). 
• Next, you want to mandate long passwords (14 characters or more) across teams as they’re much harder to crack. For context, a numbers-only 11-character password can be broken instantly. While hackers need 16 million years to break a 14-character alphanumeric password. 
• Use individual passwords and don’t repeat a used password. There are tools that generate randomized strong passwords in seconds.

2. Use two-factor authentication

Despite using strong passwords, you shouldn’t believe they’re invincible. If someone steals one of your company devices, two-factor/multi-factor authentication will save you. It’s a security best practice to turn on two-factor authentications whenever possible. To have the extra layer of security in case hackers get hold of your account. 

3. Take advantage of an SSO (single sign-on)

One downside of a strong password management policy is the onset of password fatigue. After all, there are only so many passwords employees can track and enter every day before taking shortcuts. Single sign-on (SSO) solves this problem by having important applications share a central server. When you log into one application, it creates a cookie in the central server that can facilitate logins into other applications. Use SSOs whenever possible because it makes password management a breeze and your employees will thank you for this. 

4. Avoid using public Wi-Fi without a VPN

It’s not that public WiFi is inherently bad but that most public WiFi networks are poorly guarded. To the point that it’s not worth putting your business at risk. Public WiFi isn’t properly encrypted which exposes users to man-in-the-middle and evil twin attacks. If you have to use an unprotected network, make sure you use a VPN that encrypts your traffic and keeps social media data safe from hackers. 

5. Train your staff on social media security issues

Enforcing security measures is only one part of the job. Social media admins should also be aware of security risks and act accordingly. Train your social media staff on how to handle login data, interact with users, verify business opportunities, and silo business from personal usage. A security-aware workforce is often your biggest bet against a social media crisis. 

6. Set up a system of approval for social media posts

Who is allowed to post on your business page can decide your social media security. Misdirected posts can give away sensitive information, helping hackers to launch social engineering attacks. What you need is a multi-step approval process for stakeholders to evaluate and qualify new social media posts. Create a social media style guide, content calendar, and access permissions. Invite stakeholders to review each post, enforce deadlines and integrate social media within company policies.

7. Setup social media security monitoring tools

On top of managing social media accounts, you need to monitor your social presence. Unattended accounts, imposter accounts, and inappropriate mentions of your company or employees can seriously damage your business’s security. Social media monitoring tools give you better visibility into linked accounts, posts, and engagements so that you can make better decisions. We have discussed the essential tools below.

8. Protect your business accounts from identity theft

Online business accounts have a lot at stake which makes them prime candidates for identity theft. It works in two ways: imposter accounts mimic your business to dupe unsuspecting customers. While CEO frauds impersonate an executive within the company (usually the CEO) to trick employees into sharing critical information. The best way to mitigate identity theft risks is to frequently review audience engagement policies, encrypt sensitive data, monitor credit reports, train employees, and use social listening tools.

The post 8 Recommended Security Measures For Businesses on Social Media appeared first on Hopper HQ.

So, how exactly do you go about scheduling TikTok posts? Though TikTok has a built-in scheduling feature, it has its limitations. A few third-party tools (Hopper HQ being one of them) can help you schedule your TikTok posts in advance, while, at the same time, centralizing all your social media in one place.

In this blog post, we’ll review the steps for scheduling TikTok posts using a few of these tools on desktop and mobile devices.

So, let’s get started.

How to Schedule TikTok Posts Natively on Desktop

The TikTok desktop website allows creators and business accounts to schedule a TikTok post on the web upload page. Once scheduled, the post will be visible on both the web and mobile app versions of TikTok. 

Here’s how to schedule TikTok posts with the TikTok native video scheduler:

1. The first step to accessing TikTok desktop scheduling is changing your account type to a business or creator account. To do so, go to Settings > Account and change your account type.
   
2. Log in to your account on tiktok.com on your web browser.
   
3. Click on the + Upload icon at the top right corner
   

4. You’ll be directed to upload and edit your video, add your caption, hashtags, edit your cover image, and set your privacy settings.

5. Toggle the schedule button and choose a date and time to schedule your post. TikTok will use the time zone of your computer settings.

6. All left to do is Click schedule and you’re done! You should receive a message similar to the one below.

How to edit a scheduled post on tiktok

It’s worth noting that once your video is scheduled, you won’t be able to make any edits to the video, caption, hashtags, or scheduled time. 

If you wish to edit your video or scheduled time, you need to delete the scheduled post, make the edits, and then re-upload it. 

Once your scheduled video is posted, TikTok will send you a push notification to let you know your post is live.

Schedule TikTok Posts with Hopper HQ

Scheduling TikTok posts from your desktop is a convenient way to plan out your content in advance and take some of the pressure from constantly being on your phone. That’s where Hopper HQ comes in, a social media scheduling platform that allows you to schedule posts across multiple platforms, including TikTok. 

How to use Hopper HQ to schedule TikTok posts from your desktop

1) Connect your TikTok account to Hopper HQ

The first step is to connect your TikTok account to Hopper HQ. Simply click on the “+ Add Account” on the bottom left menu on the Hopper HQ dashboard, select TikTok from the list, and follow the prompts to log in and authorize the connection.

2) Upload your TikTok video from your PC

Once your TikTok account is connected, you can begin creating your TikTok post. Click on the “Create Post” button. You’ll then be able to upload your TikTok video directly from your PC by clicking the “Choose File” button and selecting the video file from your computer.

3) Schedule your TikTok post

After you’ve uploaded your video, you can set the date and time you want the post to go live. Simply select the desired date and time from the calendar and clock icons on the Hopper HQ dashboard.

And that’s it! Your TikTok video will be scheduled and ready to publish! You don’t need to worry about it anymore, Hopper HQ will do the rest!

How to Schedule TikTok Posts on Mobile

Currently, you are not able to schedule TikTok posts using the native TikTok mobile app. If you want to schedule using TikTok you need to log in through the desktop and then follow the steps mentioned in the section below.

To be able to schedule TikTok posts on mobile, you will have to consider a third-party TikTok scheduler, like for example Hopper HQ. By using a tool like Hopper HQ you’ll be able to schedule content on a variety of social media channels in just a few clicks.

TikTok Desktop vs. Hopper HQ

While the TikTok app does have its built-in Video Scheduler, it has some limitations that may not be suitable for everyone. That’s where Hopper HQ comes in.

TikTok Native Video Scheduler is a useful tool for scheduling your TikTok posts in advance, but it does have some limitations that you should be aware of.

Limitations of the TikTok Video Scheduler

• Limited number of posts: It only allows you to schedule up to 10 posts per month
• Limited scheduling timeline: You can only schedule TikTok posts up to 10 days in advance
• No editing flexibility: Once you’ve scheduled a post, you cannot edit or change the schedule, video, or caption. You have to delete it and start over.
• You cannot schedule posts to multiple TikTok accounts
• You cannot schedule your TikTok post to other social media platforms

As a result, if you have multiple videos you want to schedule for more than 10 days in advance, you’ll have to repeat the scheduling process for each batch. This can be time-consuming and impractical for content creators who want to schedule many posts at once.

Another limitation of the TikTok Video Scheduler is that it does not allow you to schedule posts to multiple accounts. It’s simply a way to schedule a single post in advance. If you want to schedule multiple posts or create a posting schedule that repeats regularly, you’ll need to use a different tool.

Advantages of using Hopper HQ to schedule TikTok posts

Schedule TikToks Ahead of Time

One of the main advantages of using Hopper HQ is the ability to plan your TikTok feed ahead of time. With the TikTok built-in Video Scheduler, you can only schedule posts 10 days in advance, while with Hopper HQ, you can plan out your entire TikTok feed months in advance with no limit on future scheduling. This can be especially helpful for content creators trying to maintain a consistent posting schedule.

Bulk Schedule TikTok Posts

With the TikTok Video Scheduler, you can only schedule one post at a time, which can be time-consuming if you have multiple posts you want to schedule in advance.

With Hopper HQ, you can bulk upload up to 50 tiktok posts and plan out your entire TikTok feed in advance, then bulk edit and schedule all of your posts at once.

Schedule Captions and Hashtags

You can schedule captions and hashtags along with your posts. This can save you time and ensure your content is properly captioned and hashtagged when it goes live. 

Edit and Reschedule

One of the standout features of Hopper HQ is the ability to edit and reschedule scheduled posts. This can be incredibly useful if you want to make changes to a post before it goes live or if you need to reschedule a post due to unforeseen circumstances. With the built-in Video Scheduler, you can’t make any changes to scheduled posts, so this is a major advantage of using Hopper HQ.

The TikTok Grid Planner and Calendar Planner

In addition to these features, Hopper HQ offers a grid planner and a calendar planner, which can help you visualize your content and plan your posting schedule. The grid planner lets you see a beautiful feed of all your scheduled posts, while the calendar planner shows you a calendar view of your scheduled content. Both of these features can help plan out your content and ensure that you’re posting consistently.

Content Repurposing

Finally, Hopper HQ allows you to repurpose your TikTok content for other platforms without the watermark, such as Instagram. This can be a great way to get more mileage out of your content and reach a wider audience.

Hopper HQ offers a range of useful features that can help you save time and better manage your TikTok presence.

7 Tips to Perfect Your TikTok Posting Schedule

Once you’ve learned how to schedule TikTok posts using the in-built Video Scheduler or other third-party tools, it’s important to take the time to perfect your posting schedule. 

Consistency is key on TikTok, as it helps to keep your followers engaged and ensures that as many people see your content as possible.

Here are a few tips for building a TikTok content calendar and finding the perfect posting schedule:

1) Determine your TikTok posting frequency

A good rule of thumb, if you’re just starting out on TikTok, is to aim for 1 to 3 posts per day. Striking a balance between posting too often and not posting often enough is important. If you post too often, you risk overwhelming your followers. On the other hand, not posting often enough makes you less likely to build and maintain a strong following or get on the For You page. 

2) Set aside dedicated time for creating content

To stick to a consistent posting schedule, set aside dedicated time for creating and curating content. This could be a few hours each week or a specific day of the week that you set aside for content creation.

By setting aside dedicated time for creating content, you can focus on creating high-quality TikToks that’ll resonate with your audience. Plus, having a consistent posting schedule helps you grow your following and boost engagement on the platform.

3) Use a content calendar

One way to perfect your TikTok posting schedule is by using a TikTok content calendar. A content calendar is a tool that helps you plan and organize your content in advance. It allows you to see what content you have coming up and when it will be posted so you can ensure a consistent posting schedule.

Using a content calendar can also help you stay organized and save time. You can schedule your content for the week or month in advance, so you don’t have to worry about trying to come up with the content on the spot. This can be especially helpful if you’ve got a busy schedule and don’t have much time to dedicate to creating content.

To create a content calendar for your TikTok account, start by brainstorming ideas for content. This could be anything from dance challenges to informative videos to funny skits. Write down all your ideas in a spreadsheet or Google Doc, and assign a date and time to each content piece.

By mapping out your content in advance, you ensure that you have a steady stream of content to post and avoid any last-minute scrambling to come up with something to post.

4) Find the best time to post

Research the best times to post on TikTok. This can vary based on your target audience and location, but the best times to post on TikTok are weekday evenings and weekends.

Consider the time zone of your target audience. If you’ve got a global audience, you may want to consider posting at different times to reach people in different time zones. As explained in the Attrock guide, 2 pm on Mondays, 4 pm on Wednesdays, and 8 am on Saturdays can be good times to target a US audience.

5) Use TikTok analytics

One of the most useful tools for perfecting your TikTok posting schedule is the platform’s built-in analytics and insights feature, which shows you the number of views, likes, comments, and shares your posts have received.

This can help you understand which posts perform well and which don’t. You can then use this information to adjust your posting schedule to ensure that you are posting content that your followers are interested in.

Another helpful feature in the analytics and insights tool is the “Followers” tab, which shows you information about your followers, including their age, gender, and location. This can be useful in determining the best time to post, as you can see when your followers are most active on the platform.

6) Experiment with different posting times.

Different times of day will yield different levels of engagement, so it’s important to experiment with different posting times to see what works best for your audience. You can use the analytics provided by TikTok or Hopper HQ to see when your followers are most active and plan your posts accordingly.

7) Stay flexible and keep an eye out for TikTok trends

While a consistent posting schedule is important, it’s also important to stay flexible. If a particularly engaging trend or challenge emerges on TikTok, it may be worth deviating from your usual posting schedule to take advantage of the opportunity. 

To Wrap It Up

Whether you’re a content creator looking to streamline your posting process or just someone who wants a little more control over their social media presence – scheduling TikTok posts is a step in the right direction.

Overall, Hopper HQ is excellent for those looking for a more robust scheduling tool for TikTok. With the ability to schedule posts for multiple accounts and platforms and the convenience of scheduling from both mobile and desktop devices, it’s a useful tool for anyone looking to streamline their social media presence. 

So give it a try and see how it can help you better manage your TikTok presence.

5 Reasons Why Instagram Story Views Drop

Bots are not the only factor responsible for your Instagram Story views going down.

Here are other possible reasons that may contribute to your Instagram Story views dropping and strategies to get more Instagram Story views:

1) Your Content is Stale

Instagram users like fresh content. If your content is unoriginal or doesn’t offer any value, it won’t get engagement.

You need to optimize your creative strategy to create content that resonates with your followers. 

That’s why it’s critical that you head to the Explore page on Instagram to find trending topics and create story content around them. You can also look at what other brands in your niche are posting to get an idea of where to start.

Once you’ve found a topic, create a Story around it and publish it. Considering the topic is trending, your Story is likely to gain traction.

For instance, note how McDonald’s UAE got creative and used the FIFA World Cup 2022 trend on its story. 

Solution: Publish Diverse & Trending Content

Your audience expects new and engaging content from your brand. Therefore, it is up to you to generate diverse content for your Stories that matches their preferences.

Tip: Use your Instagram analytics to gain insight into what content your audience prefers for Stories. Then, tailor your content to meet those needs by highlighting the product or service features they like most.

You can also leverage digital marketing tools or content marketing platforms to ensure that your audience gets meaningful content. These platforms will help you plan, produce, and optimize your Instagram Stories.

Use high-quality Story formats, including photos, shoppable videos, and boomerangs. According to Hubspot, people are more likely to tap the following types of Instagram stories to the end:

• Short narrative stories with photos, videos, or text
• Stories with quizzes or polls
• A mix of all these elements put together
• Demos and tutorials
• Behind the scenes
• Stories with open-ended question stickers
• Testimonials
• Documentary-style stories

Use content to tell your brand story, share customer stories, sell your products, or communicate brand offers. This brings better engagement.

The History Channel is an excellent example of a brand maximising Instagram stories for engagement. It posts regularly, utilises user-generated content, and includes hashtags to pique interest.

2) You’re Not Using Hashtags Right

Using relevant hashtags allows audiences to discover your Stories, even if they don’t follow you. This helps you get more views on your Instagram Stories.

The improper use of hashtags, or no use at all, can have the opposite effect and be the reason for fewer Story views.

Solution: Use Hashtags in Stories

Find hashtags relevant to your content and business by conducting hashtag research. Then, select the hashtag sticker and search for a hashtag related to your content, combine it with branded hashtags, and use them on your Stories. Incorporate popular or niche hashtags for better targeting. 

Here’s an example of a hashtag sticker in a Story.

To find the right set of hashtags, you can use the Hopper HQ Hashtag Explorer to search for hashtags and get a list of similar hashtags, find trending hashtags, or choose from preset hashtag categories. You can then compare them based on various metrics, such as post count, competition, likes, comments, and more. 

Grow Your Audience With #Hashtags

Discover better hashtags to reach the more people, grow your follower count and get more engagement on your posts.

With such in-depth data on hashtags, you can make data-driven decisions to select the best-performing hashtags for your Stories and help them gain traction.

3) You’re Posting at the Wrong Times

Are you posting when your audience is most active? This is one of the questions that should guide your Instagram content strategy and when you post Instagram stories.

Finding out which days and times your audience is most active on Instagram is essential, especially because Stories only last for 24 hours.

If you end up posting them at the wrong time, they might not garner enough views. 

Solution: Use Analytics to Improve Your Strategy

After analysing millions of posts, Hopper HQ found that the best time to post on Instagram varies depending on the day of the week.

But this is a general guideline. To understand the right timing for your audience, it’s best to start looking at your Instagram analytics. 

Check out our detailed guide on the best time to post on Instagram.

With analytics, you’ll be able to figure out when your audience is the most active during a particular day. You’ll also discover the days when they’re the most active. These are the days you should target. 

But that’s not all that you can find using Instagram analytics.

You can also use analytics to establish why your Story views have dropped. To view your Instagram Story analytics:

1. Open your Instagram account
2. Click on the “Insights” button on your Story Highlights
3. Scroll down to “Content you shared” and expand on shared stories.

The impressions figure indicates the number of Instagram Story views. At the same time, the reach shows you the number of accounts you’ve reached through your Stories.

Using this data, you can determine which content performed best and fine-tune your content strategy accordingly.

What’s more?

You can also bring your small business CRM into the mix. One of the many advantages of CRMs is that it holds a lot of customer data. With this data, you can figure out their likes and dislikes, which, in turn, can help you create more compelling Stories for them and get more views.

4) You’re Not Very Active on Instagram

If you want the audience to engage with your Stories, you must do the same. Instagram’s algorithm assesses your history of interaction with others to determine the level of engagement your content will get.

If you rarely reciprocate community interests, your content will likely be buried. That makes it essential to connect with your audience through comments and messages. 

At the same time, if you don’t create enough content, you’ll come across as inactive. In fact, according to a recent study, you need to post up to five Stories a day to maintain an engagement rate of over 70%.

Solution: Add Reels to Stories

Producing a lot of original content takes time and effort. So, how do you create numerous Stories without burning a hole in your pocket?

The answer lies in Reels.

According to an analysis, Reels drive about 35% more engagement than other content types like videos, images, and carousels. So, creating Reels and sharing them through your Stories is a great way to increase your views for both Reels and Stories. 

However, not just any Reel will generate engagement.

You need to craft captivating Reels that can stop your audience from swiping to the next Story. 

Plan & Schedule Your Social Media Posts

Visually plan your posts. Drag & drop everywhere in seconds

Create Your First Post

For instance, you can share a short testimonial video as a Reel. When you share it on your Stories, you can combine it with stickers to have users offer their thoughts.

It is also essential to add trending music in videos before sharing them as Reels. When a user recognises a song or a clip on your Reels shared in Stories, they will likely stop scrolling and watch it. They might also react, like, or message you due to it.

Here’s an example of Daniel Wellington sharing a Reel through their Stories.

5) Previous Story Views Were Bot-Generated

One of the greatest mistakes you can make is purchasing Story views. It serves little purpose and doesn’t do you any good in the long run. It does work well as a vanity metric though for a short time, but don’t expect it to have long-lasting effects. 

But even if you haven’t done anything like that, there’s also a possibility that bots generated your previous Story views.

When Instagram eliminated these bots, the number of inauthentic accounts engaging with your account reduces, leading to a drop in Instagram Story views.

Solution: Employ Tactics to Increase Story Views

Not opting for fake views is an obvious point to start. But how do you push your organic views up?

Tips on how to boost your organic views

1. Run Contests & Giveaways

Accounts that run Instagram contests or giveaways grow 70% faster than those that don’t. Running contests, therefore, is one of the best ways to use Instagram Stories.

You can, for example, ask followers to reply to your Stories and win a reward. Or you can ask them to share your Story with their friends and also share the contest on their Stories.

Basically, if you offer a lucrative reward, people will happily perform all the engagement-boosting steps you want them to take.

Running contests at regular intervals with effective reactions to messages will drive engagement and increase your Instagram Story views. 

To boost your contest Story views further, you can leverage paid promotions. Reporting tools will provide you with valuable insights into your potential audience, and this can go a long way in helping you craft more compelling Story content for them.

Here’s how Hankki used a Reel to invite people to its giveaway.

2. Run an Influencer Takeover

Instagram influencer takeovers can be a great strategy for driving up your Story views as they bring in the influencer’s fans to your account. This creates a better immersive experience, something 80% of audiences desire.

As the influencer’s fans run to your page, your Instagram activity will increase, boosting Story views.

For example, if you are running a campaign for your skincare products, you can find skincare Instagram influencers or partners and get them to take over your Stories for the day.  

This will bring the respective influencer’s followers to your account, thus increasing Story views and engagement.

For instance, note how Glamping Canyon Lands took over Go Cherish Tours Instagram page for a day.

3. Add Stickers

Adding stickers to your Instagram Stories is a great way to increase their views and engagement. For instance, polls are excellent for social media, particularly when soliciting customer feedback. They are fun, easy to create, and highly engaging. In fact, they allow for two-way communication between you and your customers.

Here’s an example of how Fenty Beauty used a poll feature with a slider to engage its audience.

While at it, include emojis, time, weather, GIFs, and other stickers on your Stories. You can also use quizzes, Q&A, and countdown timers to boost engagement.

Here is an example of how you can use the question sticker on Instagram Stories:

4. Use Location Tags

Similarly, location tags increase the chances of audiences finding you when searching for location-specific posts; there’s a special spot for Stories related to that location on the location search result page. 

Conclusion

So your Instagram Story views have dropped. Does this translate to poor sales? Not really.

You now have a perfect idea of where you’re failing and solutions to remedy the situation. Using the above tips can help you boost Story views organically.

Remember, adopting a quality content strategy is better than trying to beat the Instagram algorithm. Master this, and you can enhance your brand presence sustainably.

Find out how to remove the TikTok watermark in 7 different, easy ways

TikTok’s short-form video content has made it a popular platform with millions of users and brands creating entertaining and educational TikToks to engage with their target audience. 

If your videos are doing well on TikTok, why stop there? You may want to share your TikTok videos on Instagram as reels or crosspost them on your other social media platforms. 

The only problem? When you download a video from TikTok, you’ll notice the TikTok watermark embedded into that video. This isn’t ideal because the Instagram algorithm demotes reels which have the TikTok watermark on them, making your videos less likely to be shown or recommended to other users. 

So, If you’re repurposing your TikTok content for other social media platforms, it’s best to remove the TikTok watermark.

Luckily, there are many ways to remove the TikTok watermark (without the need for complicated video editing tools). Read on to find the best one for you:

What is a TikTok watermark?

The Tiktok watermark is the superimposed TikTok logo with the username of the original poster that’s placed on TikTok videos. This is important for copyright and marketing reasons to make the origin of the media clear, so others can’t repost the videos without attribution.

TikTok adds a bouncing watermark that moves around the video as it plays, making it harder to remove it.

How to remove the TikTok watermark?

There are multiple ways to remove the TikTok watermark, some of those options are better than others. Whether you’re using your phone or computer, here are 7 methods for removing the TikTok watermark.

Let’s dive into each of these methods to see which one’s right for you:

1) Use Hopper HQ to cross-publish

Hopper HQ is the quickest option to repurpose your TikTok content to Instagram and other social media platforms without the watermark.

You won’t have to worry about downloading the video, copy-pasting any links into any tools or using any video editors to blur out or remove the TikTok watermark. Hopper HQ does that automatically for you!

All you have to do is link your TikTok account to Hopper HQ and select the TikTok video you want to repost on another platform. Hopper HQ will automatically remove the watermark and repost your video for you on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest, or YouTube Shorts. Connect your TikTok account to Hopper HQ

Here’s how quickly you can repost from TikTok to Instagram without the watermark with Hopper HQ:

2) Zoom in and crop the TikTok watermark

You can easily use your phone to crop the video and remove the watermark:

1. Open the video you want to crop from your Photos
2. Tap “Edit” from the top right corner
3. Tap the “Crop” icon at the bottom
4. Pinch to zoom in and edit the dimensions of the video to crop out the watermark
5. You’ll need to crop more than one area of your video due to the watermark bouncing around
6. Tap “Done” to save your new cropped video.

While this approach seems like the simplest option, it is not ideal as it would result in zoomed-in content that would cut parts of the visuals or text from the original video. This approach could also change the aspect ratio of the video and be posted with a margin around the content on other platforms.

For those reasons, cropping results in low-quality-looking videos and is not the best option to remove the TikTok watermark.

3) Add a border and hide it

You can use any simple editing tools on your phone or computer to add a border or frame around your video to cover up the TikTok watermark. 

In this example, we’ve used Canva to add a frame to the TikTok video to cover the watermark.

Like the cropping option, adding a border around your video is not ideal as it does not look very appealing and covers a large part of your video; it could cut parts of your video and leave it looking unprofessional and low quality.

4) Use a blur tool to cover it

This approach relies on third-party apps or tools that you can use to add a blur effect on the watermark. 

The downside? You will need to add multiple blurs in different places to cover the watermark as it bounces around throughout the video, resulting in multiple blurry areas around your video frame.

Not only does this look unappealing, but it is also quite obvious that there’s a TikTok watermark that’s been blurred out, which some may say defeats the purpose of removing it in the first place. 

This could also be time-consuming if you blur each watermark from each video manually one by one. 

So, this is not an approach that we would recommend. But we’re giving you all the options:

You can search “blur video” on your phone’s App Store. There are multiple tools and apps designed for the purpose of adding a blur effect on parts of your video, which all generally work the same way.

In this example, we’ve used an app called “Blur video”: 

1. Download the app and allow access to videos
2. Tap “Start”
3. Choose the video on which you want to blur the watermark
4. Choose between “Blur” or “Pixelate” at the top centre of the screen
5. Tap “Add Blur” or on the bottom-left corner
6. Move the blur circle around to where your watermark is to blur it out
7. Add multiple blurs whenever the watermark moves around the video
8. Tap “Save” after covering all the watermarks

Your video will be saved to your photos with the watermarks blurred or pixelated.

5) Use a TikTok watermark remover app

There’s an overwhelming number of apps that claim to remove the TikTok watermark from your videos. 

A quick search for “remove TikTok watermark” on your app store will give you options like SaveTik, TikSaver, TokRepost, TokVideo, TikDown, TokSave, and many more. They all seem confusingly similar, and it can be hard to choose one or tell them apart. 

However, there are some things worth knowing before you proceed to download any of these apps:

1. None of these apps are affiliated with TikTok, and they could stop working if TikTok changes its API.
2. Read the reviews carefully. While most apps will show a rating of 4 or higher, the reviews tell a different story.
3. While most of these apps are free to download, they will either bombard you with ads at every step or require a paid subscription to start using them. 
4. Not all of these apps actually remove the watermark. Some of them only curate a saved collection of watermark-free TikToks, without actually downloading them to your phone.

With that in mind, we tried out 2 top-rated tools on the app store; SaveTik and TikSaver.

Both SaveTik and TikSaver work in the same way. They are free to download, however, both are only free for a 3-day trial period; the subscription after that is $10/month or $4/week. 

Here’s how to use a TikTok watermark remover app: 

1. Find the video you want to download without the watermark from the TikTok app
2. Tap “Share”
3. Select “Copy Link”
4. Open the App
5. Paste the link you copied from TikTok
6. Save the video to your photos without the watermark

6) Using a video editing tool

Using a video editor tool is the most complicated and expensive approach, so proceed with caution.

If you have video editing skills, you can use any video editing tool you have to remove the watermark. For example, the Wondershare UniConverter video editor offers a watermark editor that lets you add or remove any watermarks from your videos.

This tool is not free to use, and pricing starts at $20/month.

This might not be the best option for you if you do not plan on using the many other features of video editing and only need a watermark remover.

7) Save your video without a watermark in the first place (online)

What’s better than having to remove the watermark? Saving the video without a TikTok watermark in the first place!

There are multiple websites that let you download TikTok videos without the watermark such as SaveTik, MusicalDown.com, MusicalDown.xyz, SnapTik, TikFast and TikMate.

Some of these also offer apps to download on your phone, like SnapTik, but you can also use it online on your pc or desktop if it’s more convenient.

These online tools all work the same way:

1. Select the video you want to save from the TikTok app on your phone or computer
2. select the “Share” button
3. Select “Copy Link”
4. Go to the online tool of your choosing
5. Paste the Link into the toolbox 
6. Click “Download” 

Your selected video will be downloaded to your device without the watermark as an MP4 file.

Beware of TikTok watermarks

Using TikTok to create and edit videos and resharing that content on Instagram makes perfect sense when it comes to expanding reach.

Instagram caught up to the growing popularity of TikTok with the launch of Reels.

However, Instagram was not thrilled about users only sharing TikTok content on its platform and treating Reels as the secondary platform.

So, to encourage users to make original Reels content, Instagram has made changes to its algorithm to no longer promote Reels that have a TikTok watermark on them.
