Standing out amongst tons of other Instagram users is sometimes really hard. And, sometimes a good-quality picture or video is not enough to catch the attention of people. If you are using social media as a way of promoting your business, simply presenting your products/services is not enough.
A good caption can bring you more followers, increase traffic on your websites, and also grow your sales. All of these things are super important, and what social media is all about. Using your account in a clever way is super important if you want to stand out in the sea of other users.
For that reason, we have decided to write this short article in which we would like to give you a few tips and tricks that you can apply to your future posts.
Due to Instagram’s algorithm over the past year, it has been proven that writing engaging captions that Instagram likes, will result in the post itself getting more attention, therefore being seen by more people. You want your caption to provoke engagement since that will also result in Instagram putting you on your followers’ feeds more often.
You can get engagement in a few different ways. The first sentence of your caption is crucial. It can either make your caption a complete hit or a flop. Make sure your first sentence is great, and what has proven to be the biggest hit is asking a question in your caption. This can let your followers know that you care about them, their experiences, and maybe their day.
Also, you can point them to your website, and make them share your profile with some of their friends that might also be interested in what you are offering.
Educational captions are always helpful. Offering some tips and tricks or informing your public on any topic that you are offering will definitely spark some interest in your followers.
Adding a certain spark to your content and its captions is always a big plus and a great way to stand out. People love when they feel loved and cared about. You do not want your posts to look robotic and automatically generated. You do not want to come across as cold, and emotionless to your followers, because for sure that will result in a loss of your numbers.
Storytelling is an important part of keeping your caption interesting, and should always be on your mind if you have something interesting to tell. This too results in adding a certain amount of personality and originality to your posts.
Emojis are a super fun way to express yourself. They also catch attention super easily due to their colors and appearance. But, make sure you do not overdo it because there is a short line between eye-catching and looking childish.
