Have you ever looked at someone’s Instagram and wondered how the hell they managed to split their caption into nice neat sections? Me too! But then I realised that the answer is actually really simple. If you follow me at my fitness Instagram (@fitbyemmakate), you’ll know that I’m a big fan of using line breaks in my captions – and here’s why:
1. They Look Better
Let’s be real – a big old chuck of text with a few emojis doesn’t look cute. In fact, it looks messy and boring. The same goes for using bullet points or symbols to create a line break.
2. Your Audience Might Actually Read Your Caption
What’s the point in carefully drafting out a beautifully worded caption if nobody’s going to read it? I don’t know about you, but when I see a big chunk of text, I just keep on scrolling. If you want your audience to actually engage with what you’re saying, you need to make your caption as easily digestible and approachable as possible.
3. They Make You Memorable
Line breaks allow you to split up your thoughts into bitesized chunks, meaning your audience is more likely to remember what it is you’re saying – which is super important if you’re creating a brand or selling a product/service.
That’s all well and good Emma, but how do I actually do it?
Creating beautiful captions is actually really easy! Once you’ve drafted your caption with all the line breaks you want, just go to https://apps4lifehost.com/Instagram/CaptionMaker.html and paste your caption into the text box.
Then just click the convert and copy button, head over to Instagram and paste into the caption section.
And you’re done! Beautiful captions without using awkward symbols and bullet points! I personally keep this page constantly open in my safari so it’s always ready to go when I want to post a photo.
