Facebook uses Reels as a discovery tool, not a branding tool.
That means Reels are shown to people who don’t follow you yet first.
But here’s where people mess up:
They post:
• aesthetic clips
• silent GRWMs
• random trending sounds
So they get views…
but no follows, no comments, no growth.
What Facebook actually wants from Reels:
• a clear point
• a problem someone recognizes instantly
• context (text or captions that explain WHY)
Reels that make people think:
“Wait… this is about me.”
That’s what turns views into new followers.
If you want to reach people who don’t know you yet,
start using Reels with intention — not vibes.
