CONTEXT [REEL]

These days, people are more connected to the journey. Which means sometimes, it's messy! While most people feel like they have to always share their biggest accomplishments and all of their accolades... we can do it differently. Think of this post as a post for YOU. Something that you can look back on & feel proud of. Something that when you watch it back, makes you want to cry. It makes you FEEL. We won't be listing everything that you've achieved, we will be telling a story...

It starts with...

1. a comfort zone or an idea that failed or a myth you fell into a trap believing

2. a massive road block or failure (give a real-life example)

3. the thing that changed everything or saved you from yourself

4. a lesson you learned, whether it be painful or a breakthrough moment

5. end with what you take away, how everything changed you for the better, why you're grateful... do NOT end with an achievement

You will build out your story in your notes or on paper, limiting your story to as few words as possible.

Create your video inside CapCut (use prior videos and cut them up).

Add your text-on-screen inside of Instagram and choose an audio that gets people in their feels, one that triggers emotions.

CONTEXT [CAROUSEL]

This is a post that will bring in other creator's content, but is still a huge connector for you and your audience. However, the trick is to stay "on-brand". This type of content will not be a *hard sell* for any offers and is more of a connection point/ relatable post.

If you login to Threads (Instagram's version of Twitter/X), and spend some time consuming/ scrolling to find snapshots of "tweets" that you love. Be sure to add in some (2-3) that would be in direct connection to what you DO (you'll see in the example). You'll want some that are serious, some that are funny, some that are thought-provoking. This could be highly shareable content, if used properly!

Choose one photo of yourself from your photo album that will be used as the background amongst the carousel.

You will take snapshots of the threads and use your photo to crop them to trim excess blank space.

Once you have uploaded your photos into the carousel, you can add a photo overlay (the square at the top of the edit screen will open your photo album and allow you to choose your snapshots).

I'd suggest no more than 8 slides to avoid too much.

Add an audio that feels *vibey*
