Use this Instagram growth trick - before it stops working

There's a new and underrated growth tool on Instagram.

But I see so few taking advantage of it.

What's the feature?

It's Trial Reels.

You might have heard of it but I bet you don't know how to actually use it for growth in 2025.

Here's all the info you need to take advantage of them.

Let's dive in, winners.

What are Trial Reels - and how to actually use them

Trial Reels allows you to share posts with only non-followers.

Officially, this lets you test posts before sharing them with your followers.

But that's not a great way to use it.

I advise everyone who wants to grow to publish daily - later they can post a bit less.

So I'd not post Trial Reels to test out is something gonna do well or not...

So Hugo... what's the best way to use it then?

Glad you asked. ;)

Simply, take your best-performing posts, and post them again as Trial Reels... and do this often.

The magic of this: Your current followers won't be bothered even if you post the same Reel daily! (The Trial Reels won't show up on your feed!)

I mean think about that. Really.

You can basically "farm" followers and views by reposting the same stuff - and nobody will get tired of you... because whenever someone follows you, they'll be excluded from seeing your Trial Reels!

This is something that feels illegal, lol. I'd not be surprised if Instagram puts a limit to this at some point... so go ahead and take advantage of it now!

You can find the option to post it as a Trial Reel on the same page as where you write the caption.

(Note: Some people don't still have this. It's being rolled out.)

But Hugo... I don't have any great performing posts...

I know. That's a reality for some of you.

Some people don't see great results with Trial Reels as the content isn't good enough (yet).

The solution to that is to simply improve.

You can do so on your own...

Or you can get my help. :)

When you get my help, I'll be able to get you great-performing posts faster. This way you can maximize the Trial Reels' advantage before it gets limited.

If you're a winner and want to crush it on Instagram...

P.S. If you've not tested how ready you are to succeed on social media yet with my quiz... take it here.

P.S.S. Longer letters will be back soon. I wrote a longer letter for this week but scrapped it. I still wanted to get you some insights this week too. Have a great weekend. :)

P.S.S.S. Read this letter to find out what I learned by posting daily for over a year.
