I finally figured out why my Instagram Reels were flopping after 8 months

I was posting every day but getting like 50 views. Turns out I was using trending audio wrong the whole time. I always picked a cool song and just put my video over it, but nobody told me you're supposed to actually match the beat or the vibe of the audio to your content. A buddy who runs a food blog in Portland pointed it out after watching one of my clips. Has anyone else had a dumb realization like this that completely changed your numbers?

Dude I literally just read something from some social media guy that said using trending audio wrong is the number one mistake people make. Crazy timing seeing this post.

Last week I used a trending sound that was totally wrong for my video and got like 10 views total.
