Instagram is testing “Flipsides”. What is it and how will it help?
The world of social media is changing every day, and Instagram is now testing its newest feature “Flipsides” in the testing phase. At Ytviews, we are always on the cutting edge and we will keep you updated about the latest trends. Therefore, let us begin by tackling the central question: “Flipsides,” and what it will transform among our choices to share on Instagram.
A Space for Authenticity
Instagram has thus gained the reputation of a platform that only shares the perfect moments through a person’s newsfeed, neglecting the flaws. However, there are also those in-between instances, funny fails, and unpolished moments that do not fall into categories of such high aesthetic value. This is when “Flipsides” comes in. It is an exclusive zone within your Instagram profile that you may use to merely share more down-to-earth and real content about yourself.
The idea of the platform is to allow people to post things such as their silly bloopers during vacation, the behind-the-scenes peeks of their creative life, or the joyous deep moments with their friends, which do not make it into the main feed. “Flipsides” gives a chance for a more sincere interaction with your followers by the way it creates a real connection between you and your audience while at the same time makes them to be themselves.
Will it Fragment Engagement? Splitting your content into two feeds could dilute the engagement of the audience. The key to keeping the audience engaged will be to find the right balance between the main feed and “Flipsides”.
Maintaining a Consistent Brand Voice: Although the song “Flipsides” promotes authenticity, the brand identity should be kept in mind. Figuring out a way to convey your unfiltered true self but still staying within your brand voice will be very important.
Navigating the Future of Social Sharing
If “Flipsides” becomes a widely available feature, here are some tips to leverage it effectively:
Curate Your Casual Content: Not everything needs to be a masterpiece! Use “Flipsides” for content that’s fun, lighthearted, and doesn’t quite fit the aesthetic of your main feed.
Encourage Interaction: “Flipsides” is a great platform for polls, Q&A sessions, and prompting conversations with your followers. Use it to foster a more interactive and personal connection.
Track and Analyze: Monitor how your audience interacts with “Flipsides” content. This will help you understand what resonates with your followers and refine your approach to find the right balance between your main feed and your “Flipside.”
