124 segments
So, if you're looking for a way to post
multiple photos into one post on
Instagram, it's called an Instagram
carousel. And I'm going to show you
exactly how to do that step-by-step.
Let's jump in. So, once we've opened
Instagram, we're just going to go up to
the top left-hand corner, click the plus
sign. Down at the bottom, we're going to
select post. And now, this is the key.
Down below your photo preview, you want
to tap on where it says select.
And now, we can select multiple photos.
So, we have our lamp there, a shelf,
microphone, coffee cup, and now that we
have those selected, we click on the
arrow next to new post. And this be a
good time to mention, too, that if you
found this video because you're
interested in growing your business on
Instagram, then I've got a free resource
for you. It's a free Instagram for
business kit. And it covers how to get
followers, how to navigate the algorithm
updates, and measure your results. Plus,
it comes with post and story templates,
and expert guidance on hashtags, also
real strategy and posting for maximum
growth. All the things that you need to
do to grow your Instagram for business,
and it's completely free. So, all you
have to do is click the link in the
description, and it's all yours. Let's
jump in. So, now once we get to this
point, we can do some things to edit
this. The first thing that we want to do
is adjust the shape of the photos. You
can either keep it in the full kind of
vertical format or the square. So, right
next to the photo, you see there's a
little icon in the bottom left-hand
corner, some little guidelines. You tap
on that, and it gives you the option for
the portrait or the square. I'm going to
select square. That's just a personal
preference, but totally up to you, okay?
Now, you can see all of your photos as
you scroll through there are in that
square format. I think that's a little
bit more aesthetically pleasing when
you're scrolling through Instagram to
see the photos pop up that way. Next, we
can adjust the order of the photos. So,
let's say I don't want to start with the
lamp, I want to start with the shelf.
So, I'm just going to So, I'm just going
to tap and hold the lamp, slide it over,
and pop it next to the shelf. So, now my
shelf is the first image that pops up,
then the lamp, then the So, I like that.
Okay? Now, we can also go through each
photo and edit them. So, we'll click on
the photo and let's say we want to add a
filter to that. So, we could do make it
nice and warm. So, we're going to do
kind of a cool black and white photo
there. And then you can also take and
pinch the photo and resize it or slide
it around wherever you want it to line
up. So, we're going to have it like
that. We'll click done. You can also add
text onto the photo. So, we'll click on
the text button and we'll go coffee,
change the font, and click done.
We'll just have that up here. You just
slide it with your finger to move it
around wherever you want. And you go
like that.
And then you hit done. So, now you you
can go through and edit each one of your
photos that way or you can also apply
text over the whole thing as you see in
the controls down at the bottom. Okay?
Or filters or overlays, anything you
want that way. What's also really nice
about the carousel is you can add music.
So, you see down there where it says
audio, we're going to click on that. And
now you can scroll through either the
songs for you or the trending audio.
Let's see what we got for you and I'll
tap that. That's kind of nice.
There we go. And now we have the audio
will be playing as people look through
your carousel, which I kind of like that
feature.
Then we're going to hit next and you
want to write up a caption, hit the
check mark up at the top right hand
corner, and now you can tag people, and
you can add locations, all the same
features like you would with a normal
post.
And then once you have it all ready,
just hit share.
Takes a moment to process that, put it
all together. And then, you see once
that pops up, now you have the slide.
And you can see down in the bottom right
hand corner, there is a little audio
icon. You tap on that, you can hear the
audio. And then, we'll just scroll
through.
And that's how people will view your
carousel. So, just a really cool feature
to be able to group photos together into
one post, especially if you have a
sequence of photos that you want to tell
a story or details that you want to show
on something like in my case. And it
groups them all together and gives one
viewing experience for your audience. I
hope you found this video helpful, and I
will see you in the next one.
