Becoming a dog owner is a dream of many. Sweet and devoted friends are an integral part of life for many, and we dog lovers can’t even imagine our existence without them. However, times are changing and today another dream is being added to this dream – to show your pet to the whole world, become a popular dog owner on Instagram or even create a joint blog with your dog.
Opportunities are great, but how do you achieve real success and not lose face in an attempt to gain attention? Of course, you need tactics. This is comparable to dog training; until you know where to start and how to encourage your pet to give a voice on command, there will be no result.
Today we’ll share the most effective ways to promote on Instagram through IGTV with your dog. We’ll explore free and paid options to expand the boundaries of your capabilities. Sit back and keep reading!
1. Using Paid Incentives
Let’s start with the most workable methods that can boost your social media success. Some companies allow you to buy IGTV views and links, to improve your visibility. The provider guarantees that you and your pet will receive views from real users instantly.
Plus, it will in no way negatively affect the statistics of your account or a particular video. The fact is that trusted companies care about their reputation, and they only offer customers genuine views – no algorithm considers interactions as fake or bots, because they come from real registered users.
However, there are some pitfalls that you need to be aware of:
- First: Always study the provider’s reviews and legal information. It is important that the reviews are real and humane – a large number of identical positive reviews should alert you. Also keep in mind that official companies do not hide legal information, it is available to everyone.
- Secondly: Soberly assess the price-quality ratio. Quality services can never cost too little (much less be free). Companies need to pay salaries to employees, and this expense is included in the cost of services.
- Third: Don’t buy too much at once. Be consistent. If you see that your IGTV needs additional support for virality, buy 100 or 200 views first, evaluate the result, and only then continue. It will look organic and natural.
2. Leverage Trends
IGTV is a more complex format than short videos. The reason is that it’s harder for creators of long clips to hold users’ attention – you need to make the video so that 90% of viewers want to watch it to the end. Of course, you already have a trump card up your sleeve – your dog, but in conditions of intense competition, this may not be enough.
That’s why trends are something that can help you quickly and easily cope with this task and add virality to the video. When users see that something is trending in front of them, they are more likely to want to watch it – they are interested in how you interpret trends for your niche.
It sounds great if it weren’t for one “but” – no one will want to watch if you just copy someone else’s content. That’s why it’s important to learn not only how to analyze trends, but also how to properly style and interpret them for your feed. This can be a difficult task in the early stages, but it’s all a matter of practice.
Don’t be afraid to experiment and post videos with your beloved pet when your soul demands it. Even if the video doesn’t seem as beautiful and exciting to you as the original trend, post it. You may not have many views at first, but when you understand how it works in practice, it’ll be much easier for you to move on and promote further.
3. Collaborate with Pet Lovers
Pet lovers is not a new direction for the current internet space. Today, there are a lot of different entrepreneurs and influencers who are ready to post videos with their favorite animals every day. And for you, as a beginner in promotion, this is the perfect opportunity to take everything from this love.
Collaborations are easier than it might seem at first glance. Yes, it’s a team effort, but you’re both working for the good. By collaborating with others, you not only support each other naturally, but also promote the love of animals and bring it to the masses.
How do I find the perfect like-minded person? You can search by keywords in profile heads, through tags or narrowly focused Reels and IGTV – there is a lot of similar content, but you need those creators who have an audience but are not yet stars among the pet lovers community. Let’s start with nano or micro influencers – trust us, people trust them no less than they trust popular creators.
Then carefully suggest cooperation and tell us your ideas for a joint IGTV. Ideally, a like-minded person will be from your state or city, so you can make a potentially very viral video or even start a trend. Don’t be afraid to try and good luck!
