So, if you're looking for a way to post

0:02

multiple photos into one post on

0:05

Instagram, it's called an Instagram

0:07

carousel. And I'm going to show you

0:08

exactly how to do that step-by-step.

0:11

Let's jump in. So, once we've opened

0:13

Instagram, we're just going to go up to

0:14

the top left-hand corner, click the plus

0:16

sign. Down at the bottom, we're going to

0:18

select post. And now, this is the key.

0:21

Down below your photo preview, you want

0:23

to tap on where it says select.

0:27

And now, we can select multiple photos.

0:29

So, we have our lamp there, a shelf,

0:32

microphone, coffee cup, and now that we

0:37

have those selected, we click on the

0:38

arrow next to new post. And this be a

0:41

good time to mention, too, that if you

0:43

found this video because you're

0:44

interested in growing your business on

0:45

Instagram, then I've got a free resource

0:48

for you. It's a free Instagram for

0:50

business kit. And it covers how to get

0:53

followers, how to navigate the algorithm

0:55

updates, and measure your results. Plus,

0:59

it comes with post and story templates,

1:03

and expert guidance on hashtags, also

1:06

real strategy and posting for maximum

1:09

growth. All the things that you need to

1:10

do to grow your Instagram for business,

1:13

and it's completely free. So, all you

1:14

have to do is click the link in the

1:16

description, and it's all yours. Let's

1:18

jump in. So, now once we get to this

1:20

point, we can do some things to edit

1:22

this. The first thing that we want to do

1:24

is adjust the shape of the photos. You

1:27

can either keep it in the full kind of

1:30

vertical format or the square. So, right

1:33

next to the photo, you see there's a

1:34

little icon in the bottom left-hand

1:37

corner, some little guidelines. You tap

1:39

on that, and it gives you the option for

1:41

the portrait or the square. I'm going to

1:43

select square. That's just a personal

1:45

preference, but totally up to you, okay?

1:48

Now, you can see all of your photos as

1:50

you scroll through there are in that

1:51

square format. I think that's a little

1:53

bit more aesthetically pleasing when

1:55

you're scrolling through Instagram to

1:56

see the photos pop up that way. Next, we

1:59

can adjust the order of the photos. So,

2:01

let's say I don't want to start with the

2:03

lamp, I want to start with the shelf.

2:04

So, I'm just going to So, I'm just going

2:05

to tap and hold the lamp, slide it over,

2:09

and pop it next to the shelf. So, now my

2:11

shelf is the first image that pops up,

2:14

then the lamp, then the So, I like that.

2:17

Okay? Now, we can also go through each

2:19

photo and edit them. So, we'll click on

2:21

the photo and let's say we want to add a

2:25

filter to that. So, we could do make it

2:27

nice and warm. So, we're going to do

2:29

kind of a cool black and white photo

2:31

there. And then you can also take and

2:33

pinch the photo and resize it or slide

2:37

it around wherever you want it to line

2:40

up. So, we're going to have it like

2:41

that. We'll click done. You can also add

2:44

text onto the photo. So, we'll click on

2:46

the text button and we'll go coffee,

2:49

change the font, and click done.

2:52

We'll just have that up here. You just

2:54

slide it with your finger to move it

2:55

around wherever you want. And you go

2:57

like that.

2:58

And then you hit done. So, now you you

3:00

can go through and edit each one of your

3:02

photos that way or you can also apply

3:05

text over the whole thing as you see in

3:08

the controls down at the bottom. Okay?

3:10

Or filters or overlays, anything you

3:12

want that way. What's also really nice

3:14

about the carousel is you can add music.

3:17

So, you see down there where it says

3:18

audio, we're going to click on that. And

3:21

now you can scroll through either the

3:23

songs for you or the trending audio.

3:26

Let's see what we got for you and I'll

3:29

tap that. That's kind of nice.

3:31

There we go. And now we have the audio

3:33

will be playing as people look through

3:35

your carousel, which I kind of like that

3:37

feature.

3:38

Then we're going to hit next and you

3:41

want to write up a caption, hit the

3:43

check mark up at the top right hand

3:45

corner, and now you can tag people, and

3:47

you can add locations, all the same

3:48

features like you would with a normal

3:50

post.

3:51

And then once you have it all ready,

3:52

just hit share.

3:54

Takes a moment to process that, put it

3:56

all together. And then, you see once

3:58

that pops up, now you have the slide.

4:01

And you can see down in the bottom right

4:04

hand corner, there is a little audio

4:06

icon. You tap on that, you can hear the

4:08

audio. And then, we'll just scroll

4:10

through.

4:11

And that's how people will view your

4:13

carousel. So, just a really cool feature

4:15

to be able to group photos together into

4:17

one post, especially if you have a

4:20

sequence of photos that you want to tell

4:22

a story or details that you want to show

4:24

on something like in my case. And it

4:26

groups them all together and gives one

4:28

viewing experience for your audience. I

4:31

hope you found this video helpful, and I

4:33

will see you in the next one.
