- In what ways has Instagram helped your 15 second videos go viral?
Whether we are a brand (business) or using Instagram personally, we are realizing the value of connecting with people and using the platform for that purpose.
A1: instagram lets connect w/ all their friends when a upload a pic/ vid their friends can see it, eventually it can viral! #SocialCafe— Marisa (@MoppetMissy) November 6, 2013 | A1 By allowing me to upload produced videos - so helpful for brands! #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) November 6, 2013 |
- What Instagram methods are you using to create your mini-videos effectively?
Some great ideas that we shared during the chat. These might inspire you, too!
@socialwebcafe Brilliant idea, Deborah for A2 #SocialCafe— Stacie Walker (@staciewalker) November 6, 2013 | A2. When I go to an event I and I'm on the fly I use my phone to do the actual recording then load in Instagram #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop :) (@TheBlogWorkshop) November 6, 2013 |
- In what ways are you distributing and promoting your Instagram videos effectively?
The consensus seems to be that these instagrams are valuable used with our blogs! Instead of the normal picture, add an instagram picture or video!
A3 I use (and re-use) them in place of graphics for blog posts. Or, I should say... am going to :) #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) November 6, 2013 | A3. Always remember that you can embed your instagrams in your blog posts to enhance them and connect both :) #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop :) (@TheBlogWorkshop) November 6, 2013 |
- What changes will you be making toward helping your instagram videos go viral after this chat?
It looks like there is agreement on making more instagram videos in the future, eh?
A4 Make more of them! (And teach others how to do it, too) #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) November 6, 2013 | A4. We just want to do more videos in general! :) #SocialCafe #TBW— The Blog Workshop :) (@TheBlogWorkshop) November 6, 2013 |
Final Thoughts and Action Steps
Thanks, Stacie. I think so, too (that time flies during our #SocialCafe Twitter Chats). See you all next time!
Here is me, after driving back from Las Vegas. I promise I'm sober (just tired): http://t.co/V4kOj3omPZ #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) November 6, 2013 | Time flies when we are having these Tweetchats #SocialCafe— Stacie Walker (@staciewalker) November 6, 2013 |

#SocialCafe Twitter Chat Announcement
This SocialWebCafe Twitter Event is about Instagram Video.



About this Topic/Event
Instagram is another micro video site similar to Vine, but offering us more than twice the length of video. Granted, that is still only 15 seconds, but it can be bundles of fun!
One thing that sets Instagram apart, beyond the length, is that you can create short videos (or excerpts from longer videos) and upload them to Instagram. Come, join the Twitter Chat and let’s talk some more about the options and uses for Instagram.
