You have probably heard it time and time again, maybe even from us.  GREAT CAPTIONS CONVERT.  Why, you ask?  Because they are engaging.  Engaging captions invite your reader into your brand, and suggest that they sit down for a little chat.  But, you don’t have to go it alone. Writing prompts can help you write captions that get your followers talking!

If you are an Instagram Guide user, you know that our goal is time on platform.  Encouraging our followers to pull up a chair, sit down, and hang for a while.  Once we have them hanging out with our content, the Instagram algorithm is like “OH HEY, they like her stuff, we should show it to them more often”.

So skip the “just me and my dog” and get to writing about the reason you love your dog and the joy they bring into your life. If you are feeling stuck, there are a million prompts to get your creative juices flowing.

Here are 8 Instagram Caption Prompts that you can use right now to increase your engagement!

1. A time you felt inadequate, and how you overcame it.
   
2. The best day of your life.  What did it look like?  Why was it so special? Would you recreate it if you could, or would you let it be an amazing memory?
   
3. The Butterfly Effect:  something small that you did in your life that had a MAJOR effect on your future, and what you learned from it.
   
4. What inspires you to relax and take care of yourself?  Do you struggle with this or does it come naturally to you?
   
5. Your favorite childhood memory and what it could teach everyone about life as a whole.
   
6. Your most recent fail, and what skill you learned in return.
