You might have come across some advice that says:

“Don’t bother with it” or “Don’t use music backgrounds.”

Well, let’s set the record straight once and for all.

The Power of Sounds and Background Music

Picture your all-time favorite blockbuster movie. Can you imagine it without the background music? It just wouldn’t be the same, right?

Sounds and music are the unsung heroes of storytelling. They add depth and dimension to a scene, tugging at our heartstrings, building tension, or even making us burst into laughter. Why? Because sounds and music have a direct line to our emotions.

They are the magic behind what keeps us glued to the screen. It’s the background score that sends shivers down your spine, quickens your pulse during an action scene, or brings a tear to your eye during a poignant moment.

So, why are sounds and background music game-changers when it comes to Facebook Reels?

They make your content immersive. Our brains are wired to connect specific sounds with particular emotions. A soft, melodic tune might evoke nostalgia, while an upbeat track can get our adrenaline pumping.

When viewers emotionally invest in your content, they stay, engage, and remember. Have you ever wondered why that pivotal scene in your favorite Netflix series or a moment in the cinema lingers in your thoughts? It’s a powerful blend of visuals and sound.

Facebook Sound Collection

Here’s my insider tip: Facebook Sound Collection.

I swear by it. These soundtracks are not only free but also non-copyrighted, and Facebook offers them to us. I’ve used tracks from here for a year’s worth of content, and the result? There are no copyright violations whatsoever. But, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Long-Form Videos: If you plan to use these tracks for videos longer than 45 seconds, be cautious. Facebook’s AI might flag them as unoriginal, affecting your content’s reach and monetization. Why not reserve these gems for your reels instead?
2. AI Limitations: Occasionally, even with legitimate tracks from the Facebook Sound Collection, your reels might get muted. If your video has under 1,000–10,000 views, consider replacing the track and re-uploading. But, if you’re looking at views in the 50k-100k range or higher, patience is key. The AI will likely resolve the issue, especially for higher-viewed content.

Giving Credit Where It’s Due

Always, always provide attribution. It’s not just about playing fair; it’s a requirement.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Without a Link: Mention the song title and artist in the video description. Detailed attribution, along with the link, should be placed in the comments section. Do this approximately 6 hours after publishing your content, so you don’t hinder your content’s initial organic reach.
2. With a Link: Ideally, the full attribution (including the link) should be in the video description. However, be aware that the AI might detect these links, causing potential issues. If this happens frequently, stick to the first attribution method.

These tricks and hacks are just the tip of the iceberg. I expound on all the basics and advanced strategies in “The Rising Creator Blueprint” E-book.

So, sounds and background music are not just fillers. They are powerful tools in a content creator’s toolkit. Experiment, play around with them, and watch your content come to life. Trust me, your audience will appreciate it!
