I’d start by locking your **niche** and **style**, then build from there.
**Pick a style (and know the trade-offs):**
* **Funny/entertaining** → can go viral, but weaker audience connection.
* **Useful/educational** → best for trust & sales if you’re a pro in that topic.
* **Blogger/lifestyle** → stronger connection, slower to monetize.What I did: I chose **useful content** (software dev + AI tools) and sprinkled **a bit of personal life**. In ~2 months I added **~2,000 IG followers**. My cadence was **2 reels with practical tips** + **1 personal reel** to build connection.
For each reel:
* **Punchy headline/first second** (say the payoff up front)
* Clear **hook + captions**
* **Readable on-screen text** (big, brief)
* **Fitting audio**
* Decent **lighting** and a clean **cover**It’s a commitment, but it gets easier once you know your lane. For your black saree reel, I’d test a simple helpful angle like:
**“Black saree, 3 easy looks (10s)”** — one topic, one promise.
