Easy Instagram Reel Tip

You asked, “What’s the easiest Instagram Reel to make that’s not just a photo?”
Here’s the honest answer and it’s one of my favorite go-to strategies.

The timelapse. Yep, that’s it!

Sometimes we convince ourselves we have nothing to post. We start overthinking:
“Should I jump on that trend?”
“Do I need a fancy transition?”
“Does this need to be a perfectly styled video with trending audio and 100 takes?”

Let me stop you right there. You do not have to overcomplicate this.

Here’s your friendly reminder that done is better than perfect, and posting something simple but consistent can go a long way — especially when you’re short on time or content.

Next time you’re working — whether it’s at your desk, packaging orders, steaming clothes, tagging products, or even making phone calls, set up your phone and hit record on a timelapse.

That’s it. It doesn’t need to be glamorous. It just needs to be real.

After you record, just:

• Add some trending audio

• Pop in a short, punchy caption as on-screen text (this can be something you’ve already used in a successful post!)

You’ve got a reel. And a good one!

💡 Pro tip: The video doesn’t carry the whole weight, your text is what drives the value. Use it to educate, inspire, or connect. Think: a short tip, a client story, a mindset shift, or even a list-style caption.

This kind of content is perfect when your post queue is empty, you’re short on time, or you want to show what the behind-the-scenes of your business actually looks like.
And the best part? You can create these over and over again with fresh messaging.

Simple. Effective. Repeatable.

Now go grab your phone, hit record, and work your magic. You've got this! 💪🏼✨
