 How do I create my Instagram carousel posts? First of all, those of you who follow me on Instagram know that I create text-only Instagram carousel posts, 10 slides each time. You'll see a bunch of these on my profile. They all look like this. They're all the same format, basically 10 slides. And it's basically a blog post that did well that I have that I chopped up into 10 slides. And I find that basically if I keep it down to 4,000 characters, I'm able to do it this way. So underneath this video, I will put a link to the template that you can feel free to just borrow and use and then turn it into your own style if you wish to or use my style, whatever you want. So if I click on the template, it should look like this. And then assuming you're logged in to Canva, Canva, okay, if you're logged into Canva, the link below should open just like this. And then I click and just go and click on use template. And once you do so, it will copy one of my carousel posts just like this. And I welcome you to just edit this. So hopefully this is quite self-explanatory. Here's where you edit the title of the post. So here is my fancy carousel post, y'all. Okay, and then obviously you should definitely change the bottom here, unless you want to promote me all the time. That's fine too, you can keep George Cal at the end, I think business could, no. No, you can just be sure to change this. So it's like Jane Doe energy healer, let's say. Okay, so once you make an edit, you can just click outside to confirm the edit. And you could basically, here's the fast thing you can do. You can click on this element. Okay, once you've clicked outside, click on this element, copy it by doing command C on a Mac or control C on a key, on a Windows. Nothing happens when you click do command C, but you've copied it. Now you can scroll down, delete my George Cal at the business coach, click on the element, delete, just click once, delete it and then paste by doing command V for Victor or control V on Windows. And there it is. You see, so you just kind of go through, click once on the element, delete it. And then while this thing is highlighted, you do command V and you just keep doing it that way. So you want to replace the footer on all of it. And then of course also replace the actual text on any of these slides. You will notice that my text font size is 29 to 31. So some slides have font 29, as you can see here. And some slides that have fewer words, I think have 31. Now, the other thing that I do, I want you to know is, not only do I do that, the line breaks in between, okay, I have smaller font size. So let me just recreate this. I'm going to just create an empty slide here. I'm just going to paste, I'm going to add a text. I'm just going to add a text. And I'm going to paste this in. Whoops. Okay. I'm just going to, I'm just going to show you if I were starting over what that would look like. So font size 29. Okay. Oh, and I think I use open sans. I just want to keep everything similar so you can see how this work. Font size 20, this is weird. Font size 29. Yeah, font size 20. Oh, you know why the difference. The difference is that I also have to drag the sides because this is important, actually, you have to keep it. You have to make sure that you have enough space for the left and right arrows because you know how on Instagram, there's the left and right arrows, right? Left and right arrow. So you have to, you have to make sure. Whoops. Where did I go? Oops. Over here. Sorry. You have to make sure you kind of give enough space for the left and right arrows. And then you have to, you know, make sure you, you see how this is now no longer providing space for my, for my Jane Doe energy healer. Right. If I put it here. Right. That's enough. So how I do it. Here's the trick. I click on the space in between. So you can't see it. It's unfortunately, this is not as intuitive as, as it should be. But I click on the space in between my line breaks. Okay. This is a paragraph break, right? I, you know, basically enter, enter is basically how I created that space. So I click on that. You can't see it, but there's a cursor blinking. And then I change, I change it. So once I click on the space in between, I change this to 15 and instantly you see there's less space. So I do the same thing that click here. You can't see me clicking it, but I am, I click here once. I change it to 15. Click here. Changes to 15. I click here. Changes to 15. And now I can move it down a little bit. Because I also had, remember I also had the slide two out of 10, three out of 10 there. So anyway, that's how I created this slide. And of course I did the bold and italics. You can do that if you want to. It's solely up to you. You know, whatever. Oh, I think I also made that font smaller, right? This is 25 instead. So this is how I do it. I hope this is helpful and quick tutorial. And this is, you know, this is what I do every week. I make a new carousel slide or I edit an old one. So let me know if that helps. Oh, and also I should show you the rest of the process. I click on share. I click download. I click. Yeah, it's all 11 pages. The reason why it's 11, why is it 11? Why is, oh, it's 11. I'm sorry. It's 11 because I duplicated that one page is usually 10 slides. Right. So I'm going to get rid of that slide. I'm sorry. I'm going to get rid of that slide that that's that I duplicated. So this one. Okay. All right. Now I can download all 10 pages. I click on. Yeah. It's keeping on PNG. I click download. And what it does is it puts a zip file on my computer. So once I open the zip file by double clicking it, it turns it into a folder. And then I go onto Instagram. I go to Facebook creator studio. Okay. I think you could do the same thing on a, if you just go to Instagram.com on the computer on the desktop, you just click on the plus button on the top right. And I click select for computer. And then I, oh, I'm sorry, I have to go first of all open. Let me, let me. Let me open the zip file so that it becomes a folder of slides. Okay. I've opened the zip file. You can't, you couldn't see it, but I did on my desktop. Now I click on the plus on the top of Instagram. Select from computer. I don't know if you're all able to see. Let me actually, let me actually make sure I'm sharing. Sharing the actual part of my screen here. So give me just a moment here. All right. So now you can see the portion of my screen that. All right. So again, I clicked on the plus Instagram.com, click on the plus on the top from my computer. And then click on select from computer. And then this is the slideshow I just downloaded. And I simply just select all of them like that. I click open. And there it is. It turns into a slide and I, I paged through it to make sure that, you know, I, I just go one out of 10, two out of 10. I just want to make sure it's in the correct order. I'm looking at the top here, seven, eight, nine, 10, right? Looks all, it looks good. And I don't, yeah, I keep it on, I keep it on original because, you know, if I'm, if you're using my template, you keep it on original as well. I click next. I don't use any filters. I click next. And then here is where I can, and I basically write the title of my, my slideshow just so that I can search for it in the future. So whatever the title is, title of slideshow. I also, yeah, that's pretty much all I do. I don't do any accessibility stuff. I don't think I do any advanced settings. I don't do that. And then I click on the share button. So that's it. That's how I do it. There you go. All right. Now you might say, well, George, now I don't have to take your Instagram class. That's not true. I do a whole lot more of my Instagram course. If you decide to do it, I talk about hashtag research, hashtag testing. I talk about the different strategies and the different formats on Instagram. So if you, if you care, but at least you know that this is one of my most, actually it is my most successful format of content on Instagram. I know a lot of people say, oh, Instagram reels and stories. Yeah. If you want to do it that way, great. But this is my most successful one that I get the most true fans from. So I hope this helps.
