Product Tips Post
92. @tylerjmccall
Captions | LONG - FROM OR MICRO-BLOG CAPTIONS
Tip: If you’re going to do a long-form caption, break up the wall of text with line breaks
or emojis (if they’re on brand), and even font formatting like bold and italics with simple
tools like this one.
93. @jennakutcher
Captions | TIMELY AND RELEVANT CAPTIONS
Tip: This caption type is to be authentic, be empathetic, and be of service in whatever
way you or your brand can be right now. And if you’re not ready to say anything at all
yet, that’s okay, too.
94. @shopofthings
Captions: CLEVER OR FUNNY CAPTION
Tip: Every brand or business needs to find their unique tone and voice with these kinds
of captions, not opting for jokes or puns that aren’t “on brand” but instead, translating
their brand personality, genuinely.
95. @amyporterfield
Captions: CALL-TO-ACTION CAPTION
Tip: Use active verbs to nudge people to take action. Emphasize what you’re asking
the audience to do with emojis or font formatting so it stands out. Also, make sure
your link in bio system is friction-less and easy-to-use.
96. @seangarner
Captions | EDUCATIONAL CAPTION
Tip: We all have something to share – whether we’re a blogger, brand, or consultant.
Lean into what your unique expertise is and be of service. This is how loyalty is built
on Instagram.
97. @theassemblysf
Captions | ENGAGING CAPTIONS
Tip: The more engagement (likes, comments, shares, and saves) you get on your posts
quickly, the more reach it will inevitably have. Whip up engagement by responding quickly
or even commenting or liking your follower’s posts so they come visit yours.
98. @traderjoeslist
Captions: AUTHENTIC CAPTIONS
Tip: There’s a difference between being authentic and performing authenticity
for the sake of engagement. It can often be a fine line in this crazy world we live in,
but staying true to yourself and your brand’s values will be a strong guiding compass.
99. @jess_ekstrom
Captions | CAPTION THAT BUILDS COMMUNITY
Tip: So many brands and content creators focus on talking “at” their audience on
Instagram when this platform is so darn powerful for relationship building. Instead, think
about talking “with” your audience and grow a two-way relationship with captions like this.
100. Captions | SHORT AND SWEET CAPTION
Tip: Short captions are often best utilized for posts with images that “speak for themselves”
or if you want to engage your following. Best to test things out!
@freelancingfemales
101. @xero
Captions | CAPTION WITH USER-GENERATED CONTENT
Tip: Add UGC into your overarching content strategy, especially if you can make it
a regularly-scheduled series or showcase that people will come to expect.
That will drive engagement!
102. Additional materials to this unit
will be discussed in Unit #7. Stay tuned!
See you in Unit #4, where I’ll be talking about engagement
on Instagram and ways to increase it. Until next time!
