Posting trial reel to main feed?

It‘s a separate video. So it doesnt affect the trial reel.
It could be that it still doesnt perform better (your edit made it worse or the content works better for non-followers than followers).

Not really. If you re-upload with small tweaks (better hook, cleaner edit, captions), the algo usually treats it as a fresh post. Just don’t delete the original while it’s still getting views, let it run its course.

Trial reels and main feed posts are treated as separate by the algorithm—editing and posting won’t carry over the momentum. The trial gave you data: check retention curves and engagement rates in Insights. If the hook and first 3 seconds held strong, keep those exact. Fix only what clearly didn’t work.

Post timing matters—publish when your audience is most active. Within 10–15 minutes, reply to early comments to boost velocity and signal engagement to the algo. Some creators use a small bump (like Crescitaly) for initial proof, but prioritize watch time, content quality, and analytics first. Don’t just chase vanity metrics.
