25 Educational Instagram Reel Ideas

Want more followers on Instagram? When was the last time you made a reel that educates and teaches?

If you’re looking to get more followers every time you post then this is the week to make a reel that teaches something.

Because the best way to build an engaged audience on Instagram that is full of ideal customers is by making education-focused videos around your niche topic.

If you can provide value and teach people something in an entertaining way, they’ll follow you for it. 

This is one of the reasons I created the content membership. We have over 10,000 content templates with bonus Audience Growth course videos that teach everything from how to create better content and videos, how to get more followers on Instagram and Pinterest (and even how to make money with social media). 

How to teach something on Instagram in 20 seconds or less (without being on camera)

People love to learn, and if you can teach them something in 20 seconds or less, then you have won that person over. You will be remembered as the person who taught them something valuable.

People scroll social media for entertainment, but if you can create video’s that are both entertaining and educational—well, then you’ll surely impress your audience.

Don’t worry, you won’t have to hop on camera for this one. The best way to teach something in 20 seconds or less is to say less and show more. 

Like this simple list reel (see below). It includes one photo and text, that’s it! You don’t have to say it all in the video. Let the video speak for itself (and always add more info in the caption). Less talking and more showing will always make your video’s more captivating and less annoying or boring.

If you can create video content that educates people while also being entertaining and easy to understand—then you are on your way to success!
