Nobody is using them.

Instagram rolled this out quietly at the end of 2024 and most people either don’t know they exist or aren’t sure what to do with them. So let’s fix that.

Trial Reels are one of the only ways Instagram lets you get your content in front of people who don’t follow you yet. They show your reels to non followers through the explore page and reels feed. That is new eyes, new followers, and new potential clients — without paid ads.

Here is what you need to know:

-Trial Reels are only available to professional accounts and some creator accounts
-They gain traction for 24 hours — after that views stop
-You can run a trial at the same time you post to your feed
-They are not just for new content, repurpose your best performing reels

I have used them consistently and have seen my follower count grow because of it. The content that performs best is funny, engaging, or tied to trending audio. Stay away from talking head content unless it stops someone in the first second.

This is a feature worth adding to your strategy right now.

Save this and post your first Trial Reel this week.

Having your account in order is one of the most im Having your account in order is one of the most important parts of building a strong profile.

Think about it. Someone scrolls past your post, it stops them, they click your page. You have seconds to tell them who you are and whether they should follow you.

Step one is always a clean and concise bio. But that’s just the beginning.  Step two is your pinned posts.  Most people are either not using them or not using them strategically.
Here’s what your three pinned posts should be doing for you:

-Post 1 — Who you are and what you do
-Post 2 — What kind of content you create and what they can count on from you
-Post 3 — Your highest viewed content. Not your favorite. The one with the most views.

And before you stress about having three, Facebook only allows one pinned post. One strong post is all you need there.

Your pinned posts are prime real estate. They set the tone, build trust, and give someone every reason to hit follow.  Don’t leave that to chance.

Don't take this the wrong way. But I hate AI flie Don't take this the wrong way.  But I hate AI fliers.

They all look the same. Generic, flat, and with no real depth. More importantly they don't look anything like your brand. Someone should be able to see your flier and know immediately that it came from you. AI fliers are not doing that.

I get it. You are busy. You need something fast and you don't want flier design to take up your whole day. I am not going to tell you I hate something without giving you a way to do it better.

Canva can get you a branded, readable, properly sized flier in 30 minutes. Here is what most people are missing:

-Your flier should match your brand colors and fonts
-Font pairing matters — and script fonts are never all caps
-If it is hard to read it is not working
-Every platform has different size requirements and AI fliers are almost never optimized for them

I use AI every single day. Flier creation is just not the best use of it.

Swipe through and let me show you how to do it better.

White Teeth and Tan Skin is the Healthy Look of Summer

***This post is a sponsored post for Endless Summer Beauty Spa.  All thoughts, opinions and ideas are mine***

I was introduced to Megan Barrett of Endless Summer Tans several years ago when I was looking for a healthy option for tanning without actually having to tan.  I had tried sunless tanning or spray tanning several times but it never looked right and I was always worried about the chemicals I was inhaling.

The first time I went to tan with Megan I could tell the entire process was different.  She was recommended to me because she was the only person in the area who was giving organic tans that lasted for almost 2 weeks.  I was intrigued.  The tan was exactly what was promised and more.  It lasted a long time, didn’t stink and because of the way she applied the tan I wasn’t inhaling the spray the entire time.

A few weeks ago Megan messaged me and asked me if I wanted to try her new spray tan booth and also her teeth whitening process.  Recently they changed the location to a accommodate the fact that they are becoming more of a beauty spa rather than just doing tanning.  In addition to sunless tanning and teeth whitening her services now also include lash extensions.

The first thing you will notice after meeting Megan for more than 5 minutes is that she is a hustler girl boss and is addicted to perfection for her clients.  She is always there for her clients and is an amazing mom.  She gives me goals when it comes to the tenacity in which she is building her empire.  If you have time, or if she has time, sit and chat with her for a second and you will be equally as impressed with the incredible person she is.

The second thing you will notice is how thorough she is with her location and her services.  You are going to get all the details before she starts and she trains her staff to do the same.

We did my teeth whitening first…

After

The thing I really liked about the whitening process is that Megan checks how it’s working every 10 to 15 minutes.  She takes off the whitening gel and checks your teeth and then reapplies as to not over process your teeth.  Because of this I had almost no sensitivity after the procedure.

Spray Tan was second…

The new spa now has a spray tanning booth for you to use which is quicker but still the same great organic spray tan formula.  The finished product was even and a great color for my skin tone.  It also smelled wonderful and I was tan immediately.  Just getting back from vacation it was great to even out some of the crazy tan lines I had from being at the pool all week.

The days of tanning beds and laying out by the pool are over.  We are now all taking the appropriate routes to save our skin to prevent skin cancer and premature aging.  This is a great option to still feel that summer glow but also to do it in a safe manner.

You can follow Endless Summer Beauty Spa here.

The summer days are going away shortly…  Don’t miss out on your chance to be a golden goddess!

XO,

Tippy
