75+ Content Ideas for Instagram Posts and Instagram Reels

Social Media Marketing is the need of time for any brand or business. Whether you are selling anything locally or nation-wide or world-wide, you need to be on social media. The reason is simple. Your audience is spending more than an hour everyday on various social media platforms. Isn’t it huge? It’s bigger than your content or Ad appearing in a national newspaper. Only the thing is that, they should find your content trustworthy, useful and on time.

Social media is usually used by good marketers to establish trust among the customers or potential customers and followers. It’s now a days used by brands for selling, but still the gist of social media remains in connecting with people. Giving them good time. Making them feel to be a part of the community. Making them believe that they are not alone in case there is any issue with your product, service or anything related to your niche. You are there to help them. So believe me when I say, it’s almost similar to the social circle we have outside, in the real world.

Traditional Social Circle

So, how should we be in the real social circle in order to establish trust among the members?

We should

1. be consistent
2. be present when other community members are present and not in the odd hours when nobody is there
3. engage with others
4. listen to their problems
5. give good solutions and help
6. provide some information which is unique for only the members
7. encourage others who have come up with good ideas and points
8. be fun to hang around with
9. And finally, follow the rules of the society

So these are basic things we usually do when we participate actively and seek approval of any physical community. Same applies with social media – though it is virtual. Because we should not forget, on social media platforms, there are people on the other side. People who want social interaction, people who are looking to connect with you for a reason!

On social media as well, we need to follow the above guidelines. The one most important being – we should help our community with something valuable, something that they need!

In this blog post, I will help you with more than 75 awesome content ideas which you can use to create content for Instagram Reels or Posts and if you research well, you can write blog posts and create good useful YouTube videos as well around these content ideas.

Instagram Reels – Introduction

For those who are new to Instagram – Instagram has recently introduced a new feature named Instagram Reels. Reels are 15 second videos similar to Instagram stories, but they stay longer than 24 hours. Often I tell my students – Reels are content wise similar to Instagram stories and operation wise similar to IGTV videos. You can choose to show reels in main feed, you can add hashtags in the description. A lot of operational similarity to IGTV. But the 15 second limitation pushes it towards concept of stories as well.

Other amazing thing about reels is that, you can join multiple videos, add music, add effects – and easily get discovered through Instagram Explore section. Instagram is giving more exposure to Reels as it is their new feature and it wants the users to use it more and more – just like people used to use TikTok (before TikTok being banned in many countries, including India)! You can upload your already created TikTok or normal videos as well to Reels. Hassle-free!

So that’s a brief about Instagram Reels. How to upload or edit a Reel should be a different post and video. In this post, I will focus on the content ideas for Instagram or any platform you use for content marketing. And I am again focusing on the very very important point – these content ideas are not just for Instagram Reels. You can create any kind of content including short twitter tweets or even fleets using these ideas. So go through them and fold your sleeves. You are going to produce tremendous, valuable content in the coming days with these awesome content ideas.
