A Better Way to Boost Instagram Reels (Without Wasting Money)

While it's possible to simply click the 'Boost Post' button in Instagram to boost Instagram Reels, that's certainly not the best way. It's actually not a good option for several reasons. The result is usually a lot of wasted money for very few meaningful results.

In this video you'll learn how to boost Instagram Reels using Facebook ads manager, so you get more of what you actually want from your ad budget.

Totally agreed with you. I've also tested my ads in both ways. Boost post seems to be easy but that's definitely not that effective.

Well, IG boosting has worked better for me than running ads on Facebook

[doinglyart]

I heard years ago not to "boost" Facebook posts (before Meta owned IG), but it slipped my mind that I shouldn't "boost" Instagram posts either. Thanks for the reminder, explanation & tutorial.

Instagram ad preview feature is glitchy and does not always represent what your ad will look like. I agree, there's better ways

[juanimingardo]

thank you for being straightforward and really clear. nice video

[pinkpalmsmusic]

what do you chose if the objective is to build up IG followers?

Damn great video! Thank you so much for this, instagram boosts have been okay for a while (for me) but I been wanting to get into facebook ads for a while and the forever changing ui, and cluttered menus were more than enough to say NO thanks..But this video was super helpful man, so thanks!
I need a tip tho, if you don't mind. I run a small creative agency, we do 3D animation for different types of brands, sometimes directly (when they're small businesses) or through marketing agencies (for bigger clients) and I'm running an ad that I want to show specifically to marketing agencies. What kind of interests should I use? The interests tab is a bit confusing for me. Thanks!

Thanks for the walkthrough. There are errors around every corner when you try to set this up, though. These apps simply do not function well, especially when it comes to interconnectivity.

Awesome video, Andrew. Thanks for this. Please I want clarify - would you advise I optimize for "Link Clicks" or "Landing page views" when running a traffic campaign? I want to get people to purchase my product offline. So, I don't want to use conversion objectice since I will be tracking sales offline. I'd very much appreciate your input. Thanks !

Which do I choose if I'm trying to get followers?

Facebook page is not connecting to my instagram account. I have watched all youtube videos and my problem is not solved

[iamHereToMotivateYou]

My question. Will these ads run on facebook and instagram as well. I created an ad to divert audience to my telegram channel but didnt placed coz i'm a bit confused.
Please reply if you can spare me your valueable time.🙏

Edit: i wrote the comment in middle of video, then i saw placement option. My doubt is clear. Thank you for making informative video

[laviniaschofield]

Great help thanks! I was getting very frustrated not being able to choose locations I wanted to.

[lionrawtv]

when i choose "use existing post", the option call button remains at "No Button" and there is no option to add external website... please help!

Good video with great explanations thanks... very helpful..

[dpschofield]

what I want to know is if I boost a reel through the ads manager does it keep the comments like it does with spark ads on TikTok?

[kanikakhandelwal]

You explained very well. Thank you. I have one question - this video is good for lead gen via website but if we want to increase followers on instagram we need 'profile visit' option which is not there in ads manager. How to do that?

[Anna-hzgg]

But how do i increase number of likes of post.

[fragrancefilms]

Thank You so much Brother ❤ Keep the good work up! Lots of Love from India
