Key takeaways
- Slide 1 is the hook; the last slide is the call to action.
- One idea per slide, big text, few words.
- Your colours, font and logo on every slide make them recognisable.
Carousels get saved and shared because they teach something step by step. They also take the longest to make by hand. Here's a structure that works, and how to get it done in minutes.
A structure that works
- Slide 1: the promise (“5 mistakes that kill your reach”).
- Slides 2 to 6 or 7: one point each, a short heading and one or two lines.
- Last slide: what to do next (“Save this”, “Comment GUIDE for the checklist”).
Design rules
- The tallest feed size, 1080×1350, takes the most space on the phone.
- Large type; if it's hard to read on a phone at arm's length, cut words.
- The same colours and font on every slide, and your logo small in a corner.
