Every time Trial Reels come up in conversation wit Every time Trial Reels come up in conversation with business owners, creators, and brands I notice the same thing.

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.

5 Shoes You Need to Wear this Fall

What is the one fashion item you can never have too many of? I’ll wait while you answer. Mine is and will always be… shoes.

I love seeing the seasonal trends for shoes. There are always a few pairs you can wear from last season, a few that you can pull from your ‘classic staples’, a throwback and something new. Shoes are fun and can be a great way to accessorize while also keeping your feet warm. I have a few favorites this season so here are the shoes that are on my list for fall.

Loafer

Loafers are classic but they do go in and out of style. I love seeing the new takes on the classic style brands will do when they trend back in. Currently I am loving the light-colored loafers with the lug sole. I recently purchased these from Dr. Martens.

Long Boots

Some iteration of a long boot is always going to be in style. To me I always look for a really streamlined, clean version of this boot because it guarantees me the most wear. However, we all know western is trending this season and the boots are too. I love these because they are under $40 so if you only get one season out of them it is kind of a wash. They also come in wide calf which is a huge bonus.

Short Western Boots

When I tell you I am OBSESSED with these I am not lying. I have them in gray, white, brown and gold. I love them so much and they are so comfortable. This shoe is going to work with dresses and jeans. Also, if you are into cropped pants or leather shorts these are going to be so cute!

Chelsea Boot

When you want a comfortable, casual boot this is it. I love Chelsea boots because I can wear them for warmth or also when it is raining. Plus, they are cute. ASOS is always my go to for Chelsea Boots. Not only do they have a huge selection they are usually on sale too.

Sneaker

These have really become a staple. Not sure if it’s because they are actually cute of because my feet hurt but I am calling the sneaker the closet must have. For me I love a low-profile sneaker so you can wear it with pants, jeans, shorts and dresses. These are a current favorite of mine.
