Try announcing various things directly related to your creative work on Instagram Stories. For example:

• Upcoming dates for your upcoming performances,
• The recording or release of a new album, the release of new singles, music videos, etc.

Features of using IGTV

IGTV serves the purpose of uploading longer video files. For regular users, the upload limit is 10 minutes, and for users with a verified account, it is up to 60 minutes. IGTV is also designed for uploading vertical videos.

If a key feature of Instagram’s algorithm remains the same in 2022, it will become even more relevant for saturating the platform with new information.

You should aim to use the most popular hashtags ( #music, #pop, #techno, #InstaMusic, #MusicMonday), as well as any hashtags that are most relevant to your genre.
