Hey, Brock and Shaline, it's Donna from Canada. I just listened to the minimalism episode on Build Your Tribe.

Amazing timing, as your podcast is so off-and-art. I recently enrolled in the Marketing Impact Academy,

and I needed that minimalism reminder, as I set up my Shopify store and my network marketing product pages.

Your podcast tips will soon have me back on track, working on those all-important MIA modules.

Thank you both for all that you do.

Welcome to Build Your Tribe. I'm Shaline Johnson, and my name is Brock Johnson.

And we know your time is valuable. So every Tuesday we release an episode loaded with quick tips,

designed to get you in and get you out.

Alright mom, this one's all you.

I know what you're thinking. That's a pretty audacious claim, Shaline, that we're going to be able to 10X our engagement after listening to this quick tip Tuesday.

Well, put me to the test. This is a really simple thing for you to try. It's all about carousel posts.

Carousel posts are the coolest thing ever, and I want to talk to you about how you can and why you need to use carousel posts more often.

More often than not when it comes to Instagram, we're looking for that perfect post, right?

Maybe you set up your camera and you've put it on a self-timer and you've taken 30 selfies or you've recorded one great video, whatever it is.

Then you decide out of all those 30 photos, which one is the most flattering? Which one do you look the best in?

Right? Or which one really suits the caption that you have in mind for this post?

And then maybe you tweak it. Maybe you put some filters on it or a preset or add some colors to it so it matches your branding.

Whatever, we spend all this time focused on one image. And then we upload and we write a great caption.

More often than not, that's what people are doing.

But what Instagram wants you to do is to keep people on the platform longer. And as I've mentioned before, we call this focusing on the top, meaning time on platform.

Instagram will reward accounts where people tend to stay there a little longer, either that's because they're writing a meaningful comment or they're watching a series of videos or they're swiping through a series of videos.

Where do people spend the least amount of time where it's a single photo and a short caption?
