Bonus: Creating really funny captions on Instagram
Firstly, thanks for reading our article! You can tell we’re passionate about clever Instagram captions, right? To help you along the way, we wanted to also include a bit more information on how, beyond your caption, you can increase engagement on your Instagram photos. Here are a few tips:
Captions
There are a few things to include in your ‘recipe’ for great Instagram captions. Consider some of these:
- Know your audience and write like you know and appreciate them (in your own tone).
- Include emojis! People love emojis.
- Encourage engagement by asking a question or encouraging an action. In this case, something like ‘give me your best comeback in the comments!’
- Consider the length – try and keep it short.
Also, if you don’t like any of our suggestions for captions, why not try songs? When looking for captions lyrics really do well!
Hashtags
It’s true that hashtags are almost ‘waning’ in importance due to changes in the Instagram algorithm. That said, they are still pretty crucial for getting more viral likes! To find out more, we’ve put together a comprehensive Instagram Hashtag Cheat Sheet.
Photo Editing
More than just hashtags and a caption, the most essential thing to drive engagement is making sure your picture looks top notch.
Personally, we use presets, which takes good (or even average) photos and makes them great. Check out some of these that we would highly recommend.
