Hey Marsplayers, I hope you all are doing great and are not stressed because of your exams. Let us give you a reason to smile and take a break as it is the time to share the weekly learning.
Writing a catchy caption in instagram posts is a big task in blogger’s life!
And you definitely don’t want to be one of those who share only pictures with no meaningful captions. Right?
At times we go out of captions. So here’s little help for you in this weekly learning which will help you write captivating and pleasing captions. Here you go —
How to write good captions:
1. Tell your audience what you usually do
You can share what you are doing, what’s your plan for whole day, how’s your day going.
2. A little about your past or future posts
Share when you are going to upload new blog, what your new blog is all about, sneak peak about your posts. Or maybe you can share the link of your last blog posts, asking your audience to checkout previous posts.
3. Greet your followers
It’s okay to greet your followers sometimes. Don’t fake anything on your captions. Try to be real with your captions. Wishing them on festivals or maybe greeting them good morning or evening.
4. Telling about the look you are wearing
Add details of the brand you’re wearing, what style you are wearing. What different you created with the look.
5. Tell a story
Your caption should have a story to engage with your audience. Write that caption or story on which people can respond. If you put a caption like- Beachy Vibes or something, you can’t really expect your audience to engage with it. Rather tell a story, how you feel being there, what’s the atmosphere, any interesting thing you spotted there or a fun highlight of the day etc.
6. Ask a question
If you can’t think of any question. Write a normal question as your caption like- What kind of next blog your audience wants to see, what do they think about your posts or make it even simpler by asking poll type questions or questions that they can answer with a simple yes/no etc.
7. Use of relatable Quotes/Lyrics
It feels so good when a quote is going perfectly well with your situation. You can google a quote and try to find one related to your post which you are about to upload. But yes, make some effort and don’t just post most overused and cliche’ ones.
Here you can get ideas for interesting ways to use quotes.
8. Fashion Tips or Hacks
If you are about to post something that is related to some fashion hack or tip then explain that tip properly in your caption in detail. Let them know that they can comment any questions/doubts that they might have.
9. Say Thank you to your audience more often for engaging
Be grateful to your audience as they are the only ones who can help you grow. Practice gratitude in your life; it will help you achieve big heights. It sounds simple but it does have a profound effect.
10. Cross-promote your other social media handles
You can even promote your other social media profiles like snapchat (but make sure that the content there is a little different). For example, post something from Snapchat that you don’t usually share on Instagram (like more BTS shots or highlights from personal life) and tell them they can follow you there for more such posts.
To make everything a little easier for you, we have pinned some of the tricks- which our team came across while using Pinterest. On this board- there’s a monthly schedule you can follow and write your captions accordingly.
That’s it for now folks. Let’s discuss ideas for writing best captions in the community this week. Take screenshots of your favourite ones when you are randomly browsing.
