This means that videos & carousel posts will be performing much better. So today I’ll be sharing some tips on making better carousel post for LinkedIn. Let’s get into it.
Use AIDA plan in your carousels.
This means that in your first carousel slide, write a headline that grabs the attention. Don’t make the first headline about yourself, write it for others. You have to relate it with your audience for e.g. headlines like “Your First Sales Call Will Suck”.
In the next slides you have to build people interest by providing them the value and keeping them engaged. Tell them something new & interesting. But remember to keep it balanced.

Add a picture in first slide.
If you have to grow your personal brand you have to show up. By adding a picture of yourself in between first & second slide you make a personal connection with your audience. People feel connected with it.

Ask them to swipe.
