TikTok Feature Introduction – Why?

This feature was introduced as a useful help for creators to make successful videos more visible on their profiles. This should be possible with the help of “pinning”. That is, pinned videos appear before all other videos in their own profile. Up to three videos can be pinned. This type of pinning of selected videos also makes it easier for users to find and view viral clips. Creators can make posts such as sweepstakes, campaigns or Q&As much more visible, which also allows brands to benefit from the pin feature. This pin feature is somewhat reminiscent of the highlight feature on Instagram.

Instagram Feature Introduction – Why?

Instagram has also introduced this new feature, according to TikTok, to “give creatives more flexibility [to] express themselves on their profiles.” That’s because Instagram, too, allows users to pin up to three photos or reels in their own feed.

Tips for more followers, reach & Co.

Even if the new tools and gadgets take a lot of work off your shoulders, you still have to keep a few things in mind for your Instagram success. Especially the quality of your posts and the constant analysis of your target group are worth it.

Create high quality posts: Saves & Shares

Quality and quantity are both equally important. Nowadays Instagram does not only focus on likes and comments, but also on the saves and shares of each post. The Instagram algorithm especially likes these, as this is a sign of the added value of your posts. Of course the images should also be of high quality. Experience shows that especially friendly and bright photos are better received than dark and pixelated ones.

Understanding the new Instagram algorithm

In addition to quality, quantity is also important to Instagram marketing. The more you post and the more active you are, the more traffic Instagram allows you to get on your profile. How does it work? Very simple: Instagram never shows your new posts to all your followers, but only to a fraction. It then analyzes the success of your post and the more popular your posts are, the more people will see them.

Analysis of the target group: Use Insights sensibly

It is always worthwhile to keep your target group in mind. Then you will know when the best time to post is, on which day your users are most active and which content they particularly like.

Various Feed Formats

Depending on the usage reason, such a feed is built differently.

XML Blog and News Feed

Blogs and news portals typically use XML feeds. These are very simply structured, constantly generated overviews or link lists. In these link lists you will then find the latest contributions from a system. Of course, this list can also be output for different subcategories, so that I can only find the contents of a certain category in this XML feed.

Newsfeed in social networks

In social networks such as Facebook, Instagram or YouTube, these feeds are visually structured. That means we see in our newsfeed the latest photos and videos on Instagram, news from our friends, also photos and videos on Facebook or on YouTube the latest video tutorials and documentations.
