Should I share my reels to my Instagram Stories?

Yes, share your reel to your Stories after posting it. This reminds your current followers that you just posted new content and gives them an easy way to watch it. However, the real power of reels is that they reach non-followers, so make sure the reel itself is optimized to perform well on its own, not just shared to your existing audience.
