The number ONE reason your captions (kinda) suck


I don’t want to lie to YOU. ↓

BUT the TRUTH is, you have NO strategy.

📌First, save this trending audio!

YOU cannot expect ChatGPT to write your captions for you.

NEVER allow it to completely write everything. Use it only to get you started.

So, let me be honest, in order to KEEP people in your captions, it’s ALL about storytelling & substance.

✨Here is the caption STRATEGY I tend to follow:

→ 1. THE FIRST LINE of your caption should ALWAYS be just as inviting as your hook. Try paraphrasing it for a fresh take.

→ 2. THE FIRST PARAGRAPH or section of your caption should directly address the issue that your target audience is facing. Share your perspective on the problem! Tell a STORY about how you faced a similar situation too!

→ 3. THE MIDDLE PARAGRAPH needs to include actionable steps or bullet points that break the information into manageable, bite-sized pieces. This will be easier for your viewer to digest.

→ 4. IN THE THIRD PARAGRAPH, wrap it up with a conclusion or a relatable statement. This final point is what helps you connect with your viewer & emphasizes why it’s important.

→ 5. FINALLY, end with a clear CALL TO ACTION. Encourage your viewers to engage with your content, (ask them) , whether it’s liking, commenting, sharing, or following.

✨This step is crucial because it not only boosts engagement but also helps build a community around your content. Make sure your CTA is direct & makes sense with the goal of your reel.

Hope this helps! 💕

My monthly update since I started digital marketing...

I thought this was a SCAM. After STALKING a digital marketer on tik tok & asking her questions - this momma decided to take a chance. But before I went for it, I had to LEARN more. I HATE jumping into anything without being prepared. I had NO idea what the heck anyone did with digital marketing. ALSO, the ridiculous income claims I kept seeing made me skeptical but I followed & kept watching her for a while on tik tok. At the end of April, I invested $499 in the digital marketing course, secretly hoping for some amazing change. The ONE thing that got me HOOKED in the first place was that I can resell the course for 100% profit after purchase. I was binging the course & SO excited and eager to LEARN it all! It SHOWED me HOW to set up my store, develop my brand, create digital products & more! I also learned HOW to do automations which allows me to make MONEY while I’m watching Netflix LOL It’s been an interesting 49 days so far - & I ALREADY made my investment back! ...
