Why Carousels Work

Carousels get 3x more engagement than standard text posts. They're visual, swipy, and perfect for sharing frameworks and processes.

Here's how to create carousels that get saved and shared.

Anatomy of a Viral Carousel

Slide 1: The Hook

Your cover slide determines everything. It needs to:

  • Stop the scroll
  • Promise specific value
  • Create curiosity

    • Slides 2-8: The Content

  • One idea per slide
  • Big, bold text
  • Minimal words (max 30 per slide)
  • Consistent design

    • Final Slide: The CTA

  • Summarize the value
  • Ask for engagement
  • Include your handle

    • Design Best Practices

  • **Size:** 1080x1080 or 1080x1350
  • **Font:** Bold, readable (60pt minimum)
  • **Colors:** 2-3 max, high contrast
  • **Background:** Solid or simple gradient

    • Topic Ideas That Work

    1. Step-by-step processes

    2. Before/after transformations

    3. Myth vs. reality comparisons

    4. Tool or resource lists

    5. Career lessons learned

    6. Industry frameworks
