Social Media – What on earth is a Carousel Post?

“You should be using Carousel Posts!” Great, but what on earth is a Carousel Post you ask. Well I am sure you have seen them so many times but in this Jen’s Hot Tip I’m going to break it all down for you.

First we start with a classic graphic post – a static, single image that is made up of a photo(s) and copy – think a designed ad of sorts.

A Carousel post is similar except your topic of choice is broken down into bite size copy and runs over multiple graphics in the post.

The rule of thumb for these is you want your first slide to be a HOOK of some sort to invite the reader to swipe to see more – then the next slides walk you through your messaging and the last slide acts as your CALL TO ACTION – inviting them to do something ~ sign-up, follow you, DM you or what ever you may want them to do.

One important tip for your carousel post – pick only ONE call to action so people know exactly what they should do.

These types of posts are looked at far more than a static post so they are great to use to increase your views and engagement! Have a watch as as walk you through exactly what is a Carousel Post.
