You can use following tips to make your post stand out-
-
Catch their attention in the first place by writing the most important information first.
-
If you are an influencer then your followers might already know you a little bit so they won't mind reading a lengthy description but if you are a brand then it will be difficult to hold your customers' attention till the end. So keep them short, simple and descriptive.
-
Be creative. If you want to increase the engagement then you also add questions that your followers can answer in the comment section. Questions can be very basic. For example, “what is your favorite TV show?”
-
Don't forget to use hashtags at the end. Hashtags help users discover your posts naturally on the stage, however they are additionally a decent way for people to discover like minded people who might like your content.
-
Use relatable emojis that go well with your real life personality.
-
You can use song lyrics or poems as a caption.
-
If you are looking to increase reach then you can ask u=your followers to tag their friends. For example let's say you posted a cute picture of your dog then you can say “tag your friends who love dogs”!
-
Be yourself! Do not try to become someone else. People love authenticity and they can easily notice when someone is being fake or trying to be like someone else.
-
Try to encourage interaction.
-
You can also write them in batches. It makes them look short. A long paragraph can be boring for some people and they might end up scrolling your post without even reading a word.
-
You can tell a story. It is a very common trend these days and people also call it mini-blogging.
It is not that difficult. Don't sit back and waste too much time coming up with a perfect caption. Don't think too much, sometimes you just can be spontaneous, post whatever comes to your mind first. Instagram is an amazing platform for us to share a part of us with the world. Don't try to fit in or be like someone else on social media. Everyone has their own personality and we should own it with confidence.
