  • Long Time Listener - Finally Reviewing

    I’ve been listening to Daniel’s Instagram Stories since November 2022 and have enjoyed it since my day one.

    Wednesday Waffle is a great recent addition where Daniel takes you away from the (often) repetitive happenings on social media, while keeping you up-to date on social media trends for all the main social media platforms.

    If you need ‘bite sized’ and updated information about what’s happening in recent social media news, I recommend subscribing…it’s much better than listening to Adam Mo... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Meta's New Smart Glasses and a Guide to YouTube's Ask Studio AI Tool
Q: If I have a video performing well, should I wait for it to peak before posting the next thing or post immediately?
The host relays the question and Adam responds that timing isn't as critical as many fear; you can post the next piece within a few hours if needed, but avoid bombarding followers by spacing posts appropriately to maintain engagement.
Instagram Adds Multiple Captions to Carousels and Instagram on Samsung TVs
Q: Can stories help me grow?
Stories can help by keeping followers engaged and encouraging future interactions across formats, though they may not be the primary growth engine for every creator; use stories alongside other tools that align with your goals.
Instagram Adds Multiple Captions to Carousels and Instagram on Samsung TVs
Q: Is posting a carousel of images as effective as posting a reel?
Effectiveness depends on audience and purpose; carousels and reels each offer different opportunities, and creators should mix formats to fit their goals, with music on carousels helping engagement.
Instagram Adds Multiple Captions to Carousels and Instagram on Samsung TVs
Q: Does posting reels impact reach on photo posts?
Reels exist within a unified ranking system with photos and carousels; if people find your reels engaging, they're likely to engage with your photos as well, and vice versa, rather than existing in completely separate ranking systems.
Instagram Adds Multiple Captions to Carousels and Instagram on Samsung TVs
Q: Does engagement in the first hour impact how a post performs?
Engagement in the first hour correlates with overall engagement, but it does not guarantee future performance; strong early engagement signals interest that can lead to broader visibility, while poor early results do not automatically doom a post.
