‘No Music Available’ on Instagram Reels?

Are you having a hard time adding music to IG Reels? Many people are struggling to get their music back after the dreaded ‘No Music Available’ screen.

Cant add music to Instagram Reels?

Sign up below and be the first to know when our Instagram Reels Creators Guide goes live!!

It’s a glitch that Instagram recognizes and is trying to fix. In the meantime – get our full guide here on how to add music to IG Reels and work around the glitch!

**Scroll to the bottom of this post for the January playlist!**

Why You Should Incorporate Instagram Reels

Driving traffic to your blog is your number one priority if you’re a blogger. It’s how you make successful affiliate incomes, on-page ads income, and market your own products. The social media networks that everyone frequents could all come crashing down one day? But chances are- your blog will remain unless the internet crashes too. If that happens.. let’s just say your biggest problem is probably no longer driving traffic to your blog k?

Anyways – let’s circle back to why you should use Instagram Reels? This new type of content on Instagram means that you have a new opportunity to grab your intended audience’s attention. Notice I said intended audience? Regardless of what niche you’re in- recognize that people are online and they are stumbling across different content all of the time. Your content could be discovered next! It just requires you to put yourself out there in a way that’s appealing to your audience!

Also, keep in mind: When Instagram or any social platform rolls out something new, they prioritize that content! That means your reach will be much higher by using what content they want you to use!

How To Use Instagram Reels

Instagram Reels may seem complicated but they really are easy to use! To show you how to use Reels.. we created a Reel of our German Shepherd Thunder. (Who doesn’t love dogs right?

  1. Open Instagram and Tap the + Icon in the top left corner.
    Then tap the ‘Reels’ Button.
  2. Upload a video **If you’re recording live – click the big circle button in the middle that has the Reels symbol.
  3. Add Music to Instagram Reel (This is also the time to add any effects or stickers!)
  4. Make sure to choose your cover image! You can also choose the ‘Add from Camera Roll’ button to keep your feed uniform.
  5. Add a short caption and relevant hashtags. (It’s not recommended to use more than 3-5!)
  6. Post (You can choose whether you want to share to your feed or just to share into the Reels explore page. We prefer to share to both! You just double your chances of being seen!)

Trending Songs on Instagram Reels By Genre

You’ll need to take some time to decide what vibe you want before choosing music for Instagram reels. For reels of Europe.. you could use something instrumental or something fun – but it should match the vibe of your feed and blog as a whole. We highly suggest listening to these songs before you add one!

(We listen to music while creating content – it helps drown out other distractions!)

SUBSCRIBE For Monthly Playlists

Have you heard the news? As of July 2021 – Instagram will no longer be considered a photo-sharing platform. They want to focus on video creators like TikTok and YouTube. While it’s not a shock that Instagram wants a piece of the massively popular video platforms’ popularity. So what does this mean for you the content creator?

We understand the idea behind Reels, – but it definitely took us a bit to navigate! While you’re learning to create a few awesome new pieces of content, make sure you’re getting our monthly playlist with a mix of old, new, and all-around good music!

Make sure to subscribe to our blog, snag all of your road trip basics (below), get your travel insurance, and have fun jamming to a new playlist!

Until next time friends,

Thanks for sharing!
