Content Generation Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Product & Audience

PRODUCT → [What is it? What problem does it solve?]
  |
  ├── TARGET AUDIENCE → [Who needs this? Why?]
  |
  ├── BRAND TONE → [Luxury? Playful? Minimal? Bold?]
  |
  └── PLATFORM FIT → [Feed post, Story, Reel, Carousel?]

Key Questions:

• What emotion should the user feel?
• What's the "scroll-stopping" moment?
• What's the post-purchase transformation?

Step 2: Choose Content Format

Feed Post (Single Image)

• Best for: Product showcases, announcements
• Visual: High-quality product shot, clean background
• Caption: Punchy hook + benefits + CTA

Carousel (Swipe-able)

• Best for: Features, tutorials, transformations
• Structure: 5-10 slides

1. Hook slide

2-4. Feature/benefit slides

1. CTA slide

Story (15-60 sec)

• Best for: Flash sales, polls, Q&A, behind-scenes
• Elements: Interactive stickers, tap-through links

Reel (15-90 sec video)

• Best for: Demos, unboxing, transformations
• Hook: First 1 second critical
• Music: Trending audio boost

Step 3: Generate Content Package

Instagram Style Guidelines

Visual Principles

1. Consistency First

• Cohesive color palette (3-5 colors max)
• Consistent filter/preset
• Recognizable brand aesthetic

1. Quality Over Quantity

• High-resolution images (1080x1080 or 1080x1350)
• Good lighting (natural preferred)
• Clean composition (rule of thirds)

1. Native Feel

• Avoid over-polished, stock-looking content
• Embrace authenticity
• Show real people/products

Caption Best Practices

✅ DO:

• Start with a hook (question, bold statement, emotion)
• Write conversationally (like talking to a friend)
• Use line breaks for readability
• Include clear CTA
• Add 3-5 relevant hashtags

❌ DON'T:

• Write paragraphs longer than 3 lines
• Use excessive emojis (1-3 max)
• Overuse hashtags (30 max, quality > quantity)
• Sound robotic or overly promotional
• Include "link in bio" more than once

Engagement Triggers

Embed these in content:

• Questions: "Which color would you choose?"
• Opinions: "Yes or No?"
• Saves: "Save this for later"
• Shares: "Tag someone who needs this"
• CTAs: "Link in bio to shop"
