How to create good stories?
-Use titles with keywords
It is another point on your website that you have to position, so we recommend that you use keywords in your titles.
-The texts
The same applies to the general texts that you are going to add. Use long and short keywords to rank quickly.
-The recording
For stories, always record with your phone vertically, they fit better in the format, an extra tip that not everyone follows, but if it generates more minutes of playback is to add subtitles. Surely you yourself have been in places where you can not hear anything with a speaker and you do not have headphones, adding the written dialogue generates more followers.
-More image, less words
The stories are fresh and fast content, please don’t add a lot of texts, that’s why using keywords is so important, because we don’t recommend that you write paragraphs of information. Designing a good copying strategy is ideal at this point.
-The links
Add at least one destination link, take advantage of the fact that you can bring traffic to other of your platforms.
