How it works

  • Hook on slide 1

    The first slide shows in the feed. Keep it under 8 words and promise something specific.

  • One point per slide

    Viewers swipe fast. One idea and big text per slide keeps them going.

  • End with an ask

    Ask for a save, share or follow on the last slide. Carousels that get saved keep getting shown.
