How can I write captions for my posts faster?
THE SHORT ANSWER
Write captions faster by using a fixed shape every time: one line that hooks, one or two lines of detail, and one line that tells people what to do next. Deciding the shape once removes most of the thinking. It also helps to write captions in a batch, straight after filming, while you still remember what each video is about. A short caption that is clear beats a long one that took twenty minutes.
What to do
- 1Settle on a three-part caption shape and reuse it.
- 2Write all the week's captions in one sitting.
- 3Keep a note of first lines that worked and reuse the pattern.
- 4Save your usual hashtags in groups by topic.
- 5Stop editing after the second read.
The common mistake
Writing each caption from scratch at the moment of posting. That is when you are most rushed and least clear.
WHERE KLIK FITS
KLIK writes the caption for every post in the style you chose at setup, so you can skip this step or just tweak the result.
