Opens a curiosity loop around a 'hidden' feature to keep viewers watching for the tactic.

Hot take

Letting your stories expire or archiving the last one can reset the algorithm and get your stories pushed out a lot more.

Why it works

This video works because it promises a direct, desirable outcome (more Story views) right away, then quickly moves into lesser-known, 'insider' tactics that feel advanced to regular creators. The structure is a rapid list of specific actions with clear algorithm logic behind each, which makes the advice feel both novel and credible. It also cleverly bakes in a ManyChat-focused CTA at the end that turns a content tip into a lead-generation mechanic without derailing the educational value.

Swipe-file takeaways

  • Anchor the hook in a visible metric transformation ('from this to this') to instantly signal value.
  • Use 'not a lot of people know about this feature' to frame standard tactics as insider shortcuts.
  • Tie each tip to how the algorithm behaves (replies, retention, resets) so advice feels justified, not random.
  • Design Stories to be re-shareable and reply-worthy instead of just link-heavy to maximize reach.
  • Layer a clear automation-related CTA at the end ('comment [word]') that directly demonstrates the tool you’re promoting.

Full script

If you want to know how I took my story views from this to this, keep watching because I'm going to show you how. I feel like not a lot of people know about this feature but you can actually re -share someone's story onto your story without them even tagging you. To do this you can go to anyone's stories, click the little share icon and then add it to your story. This is an amazing way to boost your reach and get in front of new audiences. So think about incorporating stories that people would want to re -share onto theirs. Instead of using creating stories that people would want to re -share onto theirs. Instead of using link stickers, set up a ManyChat automation so that when someone replies with a specific word, you can send them an automated DM with the link. When people are replying to your story, it signals to Instagram that it is a good quality story, so it's going to put it in front of new eyes and it's also going to help prioritize your feed posts. This also works exceptionally well with the next point, which is to let your stories expire. For example, if I'm posting a new story, For example, if I'm posting a new story, sometimes I'll archive my last one so it resets the algorithm. I've noticed when I do this, my stories get pushed out a lot more. The last point is to add context onto your stories. Add text, storytell, add more visuals. The longer you can retain someone on your story, the more it's going to be pushed out to your other followers. If you want to start setting up some automations, comment cat and I'll send you ManyChat Pro for free.
