If you’ve been stressing about your Instagram captions, you need to hear this episode! No more wondering how long a caption should be, I’m sharing an easy to remember formula with all the essentials.

  • The essentials of writing an Instagram caption
  • Captions vs on screen text
  • Different types of hooks and when to use them
  • Writing readable content that even skimmers won’t want to miss
