  1. 0:00Carousels are blowing up on social
  2. 0:01media. This one got me 8,000 saves and
  3. 0:04it wasn't that idea that did it. It's
  4. 0:06that it actually stopped people
  5. 0:07scrolling because most carousels don't
  6. 0:09fail because of the content. They fail
  7. 0:11because they look average. People scroll
  8. 0:14straight past. I spent 10 years plus on
  9. 0:17this and by the end of this video you'll
  10. 0:18have a three-part system that makes your
  11. 0:21carousels [music] impossible to scroll
  12. 0:23past. It works with any AI or tool and
  13. 0:25I'm going to be showing you how to run
  14. 0:26it. Let's jump into it.
  15. 0:30This is one of my carousels that I
  16. 0:32posted a few weeks ago and you can see
  17. 0:33that it's got over 5K likes, over 5.5K
  18. 0:36comments, 8K saves and it's done
  19. 0:38extremely well. But just a few months
  20. 0:40ago I was posting content like this. I
  21. 0:42didn't really have a system when I was
  22. 0:45using AI or even creating my carousels.
  23. 0:47But since then I've become obsessed with
  24. 0:49carousels and building my brand and the
  25. 0:51results speak for themselves. Today, I'm
  26. 0:53going to show you how you can do the
  27. 0:55same. But the first thing we need to
  28. 0:57understand is what's the difference
  29. 0:58between carousels and reels and how do
  30. 1:00they work together in this social media
  31. 1:02landscape? Now, carousels work
  32. 1:04everywhere from LinkedIn, Instagram,
  33. 1:05TikTok. They are super important. Reels
  34. 1:08are used for discovery, okay? So,
  35. 1:09they're pushed hard to new people and
  36. 1:12you connect with people in a fast, kind
  37. 1:14of speedy way. You know, they're quick
  38. 1:16to make and you can post them often. But
  39. 1:18carousels are different. They get you
  40. 1:21clients whereas reels get you found.
  41. 1:23They're more for teaching, for
  42. 1:24converting as people spend more time on
  43. 1:27them digesting the information and then
  44. 1:29you can have a strong CTA which is a
  45. 1:31call to action at the end to get them to
  46. 1:33do something. And a lot of people save
  47. 1:35these compared to reels.
  48. 1:37So, you can see it's weak at depth and
  49. 1:39conversions where this is weak at being
  50. 1:41casual and fast content. Now, the bottom
  51. 1:44line is reels get you found, carousels
  52. 1:45get you remembered and get you clients.
  53. 1:47So, they are a key part of your
  54. 1:49strategy. Now, the first thing we need
  55. 1:50to understand is the basic foundation of
  56. 1:52a carousel and we could basically split
  57. 1:54it up into five different beats. So, you
  58. 1:57have the hook. This is to stop the
  59. 1:59scroll.
  60. 2:00So, this is the first part of your
  61. 2:02swipe. Then, you have the promise, which
  62. 2:05is confirm the hook or they leave. So,
  63. 2:07this is a kind of follow-up to that
  64. 2:08first slide. Then, you have the pull,
  65. 2:10the payoff, and the ask. Now, obviously,
  66. 2:11this can get way more complicated. I've
  67. 2:13done it like this for this specific
  68. 2:14video just so that you have an
  69. 2:15understanding. But, if you want me to
  70. 2:17dive deeper into this particular part,
  71. 2:18you know, the the whole slide system,
  72. 2:20how they work together, let me know in
  73. 2:21the comments. But, none of it matters.
  74. 2:25Like, none of these right here matter if
  75. 2:27the cover doesn't stop the scroll, okay?
  76. 2:30And that's literally one of the most
  77. 2:32important things I've learned. Like, I'm
  78. 2:33really good at giving information, but
  79. 2:35sometimes the way you present the
  80. 2:37information is what matters the most
  81. 2:38because if you don't present it well or,
  82. 2:40you know, you don't get the click, no
  83. 2:42one's going to listen to that
  84. 2:43information.
  85. 2:44So, the hook, the first slide, is
  86. 2:46extremely important. And this is an
  87. 2:49extremely visual part of your system.
  88. 2:56So, the big difference between these two
  89. 2:57posts of mine right here is not that the
  90. 3:00value or the information that I give is
  91. 3:02bad in this one and really good in this
  92. 3:04one. No, it's that this one literally
  93. 3:06forces the click. The cover of the
  94. 3:09carousel changes everything. And today's
  95. 3:12video is going to focus primarily on
  96. 3:14that because that's one of the key
  97. 3:16components and mistakes that everyone
  98. 3:18makes. And with three simple steps,
  99. 3:20everything is going to change for you.
  100. 3:23So, right here, we have an Instagram
  101. 3:24page, and you can see the Business
  102. 3:26Superhero. If I scroll through the page,
  103. 3:28the attraction of the carousels, the
  104. 3:31posts, is not as good as it can be. You
  105. 3:34know, the content could be really good,
  106. 3:36and I apologize to whoever this is. This
  107. 3:37is completely random. I found this page.
  108. 3:39But, you know, the information could be
  109. 3:41really good, but the way it's appealing
  110. 3:43to people is what's letting it down. And
  111. 3:45in today's video, later on in the video,
  112. 3:47as we flow through these steps, you'll
  113. 3:48see how I transform this into a post in
  114. 3:51a matter of seconds, which is going to
  115. 3:54really increase how well this page can
  116. 3:55do. Now, when it comes to creating
  117. 3:57carousels, traditionally there's three
  118. 3:59different ways that people do it. One is
  119. 4:01with Canva, the other with AI and
  120. 4:03Photoshop. But, the problem with all of
  121. 4:06them is the same. And what I'm about to
  122. 4:08show you is literally the same solution
  123. 4:11for all. So, it doesn't matter if you're
  124. 4:12using a combination or one of these, you
  125. 4:14can apply this to yourself. But, for me,
  126. 4:16I use mostly AI. Now, right here I have
  127. 4:19Higgsfield. And you can see right here,
  128. 4:21this is a carousel cover that I created
  129. 4:24within Higgsfield and it is a super high
  130. 4:27level. Super high level and it gets the
  131. 4:29click, okay? Whereas this one right here
  132. 4:32doesn't, you know, it's messy, you know,
  133. 4:35it just it's similar to probably these
  134. 4:37type of carousel covers, you know, it
  135. 4:39just doesn't work. It looks
  136. 4:40unprofessional. So, we're going to
  137. 4:42transform this cuz it doesn't matter if
  138. 4:44you're using AI or not. With these
  139. 4:45principles, you will get better results.
  140. 4:48So, you can see I've got a bad one and a
  141. 4:49good one. Now, this is me on Higgsfield,
  142. 4:52which is my number one platform for AI
  143. 4:54generations. You can see if I go to
  144. 4:56image, it has all the latest models from
  145. 4:58ChatGPT image 2, Higgsfield popcorn,
  146. 5:00Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro,
  147. 5:02everything. And I go to video, same
  148. 5:03thing, literally so many different tools
  149. 5:06all in one place. All my assets are
  150. 5:08right here.
  151. 5:09But, one of the key things which I'm
  152. 5:11going to be using today is the MCP. So,
  153. 5:13if I press this right here, I can
  154. 5:15basically use within Claude
  155. 5:19I can basically use within Claude
  156. 5:22ChatGPT image 2, Nano Banana Pro, C.dots
  157. 5:25because it allow Higgsfield allows me to
  158. 5:27connect it with Claude. You can see the
  159. 5:28steps right here. Open Claude settings,
  160. 5:30add custom connector, connect and sign
  161. 5:32in, and boom. And this makes my workflow
  162. 5:34when I'm creating these carousels, these
  163. 5:35systems so much quicker. Now, the time
  164. 5:39it took me to create this one and this
  165. 5:41one were exactly the same. The
  166. 5:43difference is my approach, my
  167. 5:45understanding, my delivery of the
  168. 5:48prompt. You can see this page right
  169. 5:49here, which we'll explore later. It's a
  170. 5:51simple page, but their content does
  171. 5:53amazingly because it has the same
  172. 5:56formula ticked. This page right here
  173. 5:58might seem complicated, might seem very
  174. 6:00high intensity in terms of design, but
  175. 6:02again, it follows the same principle.
  176. 6:04Let's get started with the first step,
  177. 6:07and you can do this side by side with me
  178. 6:10right now. It's not hard. So, get pen
  179. 6:12and paper out, get your notebook on your
  180. 6:13phone, whatever. We're going to change
  181. 6:15the way you do things.
  182. 6:20Color.
  183. 6:21Color, color, color. Color is extremely
  184. 6:25important. So, with this one, you know,
  185. 6:27the picture looks all right, the colors
  186. 6:29look all right, but it really isn't
  187. 6:31being used efficiently to stand out on
  188. 6:33the grid. Whereas this one, as I
  189. 6:34mentioned earlier, it does. It pops out.
  190. 6:37If I go to another creator right here,
  191. 6:40or not this creator,
  192. 6:41if I go to this creator, for example,
  193. 6:43they've done an incredible job with
  194. 6:45their color. With only minimalist
  195. 6:47colors, they stand out, and you want to
  196. 6:49read what it's about. So, color is what
  197. 6:53is going to be the first thing that we
  198. 6:55need to get right, okay? So, we need to
  199. 6:58pick three colors which have fixed
  200. 7:01roles. So, the first color needs to be a
  201. 7:03primary color, then you have a
  202. 7:04background color, and an accent color.
  203. 7:06And this is how your kind of carousels
  204. 7:08are always going to operate, okay? And
  205. 7:10trust me, you need to understand this.
  206. 7:13Now, you might be thinking, you know,
  207. 7:14what colors should I pick? How should I
  208. 7:15pick it? Let me show you two things.
  209. 7:17Let's look at this chart here right
  210. 7:18here. So, I've got one of my images
  211. 7:20which you saw that I generated on Hexel,
  212. 7:23and I want to create a carousel with
  213. 7:24this.
  214. 7:25The thing with this image right here is
  215. 7:28that it looks great. I like it, really
  216. 7:30good. But it's got two heavy colors.
  217. 7:32It's got this orange, and it's got this
  218. 7:34blue. These are two big colors. And the
  219. 7:37rule is, as you've just seen, is that I
  220. 7:39need to only use three colors. So, in
  221. 7:42this case, and if I go to this person
  222. 7:45right here,
  223. 7:46if I go to this person right here,
  224. 7:47you'll see that they've purposefully
  225. 7:50chosen three colors. So, they've got
  226. 7:51white, black, and red. And obviously,
  227. 7:53they've got grades of that as well. But,
  228. 7:55this parrot could have been an orange,
  229. 7:56it could have been blue, it could have
  230. 7:57been purple. He's picked red. This could
  231. 8:00have been white, it could have been a
  232. 8:01different color, but he's purposefully
  233. 8:03picked an accent color. This is all
  234. 8:05intentional in a design or visual way to
  235. 8:08make things pop and stand out. And if I
  236. 8:11go back to my chat right here,
  237. 8:14you'll see that I have these two massive
  238. 8:16colors. If I go and add another three
  239. 8:18colors to it, purple, yellow, and you
  240. 8:21know, I don't know, another random
  241. 8:22color, uh blue, well, it's already got
  242. 8:25blue, uh green, then I'm going to have
  243. 8:27five strong colors that are just going
  244. 8:28to be popping. And then that's what's
  245. 8:29going to cause me to, you know, get
  246. 8:31things like this or that other circus
  247. 8:33one, which just don't look good, okay?
  248. 8:36So, we need to be really cautious of
  249. 8:37this. So, if you are someone who's
  250. 8:39creating carousels with a lot of images
  251. 8:41in your background, you still need to
  252. 8:43use this three rule and use this as part
  253. 8:45of your image. So, bear it in this case,
  254. 8:47let's pick just three basic colors from
  255. 8:49like the beginning. I want you to pause,
  256. 8:51okay? I want you to work with me through
  257. 8:53this video, and it's really not
  258. 8:54complicated. Now, I could go to
  259. 8:55something like Canva color wheel, you
  260. 8:57just type it in on on Google, and you
  261. 8:59can go to here, then let's go
  262. 9:01complementary, and you can see colors
  263. 9:02that kind of complement each other. You
  264. 9:04know, sometimes black or white is a
  265. 9:06pretty good one to throw in the mix as
  266. 9:07well. But, you can get so many different
  267. 9:10ideas from just playing around with
  268. 9:11this. You can even ask AI to help you.
  269. 9:14And we'll I'll show you that later on in
  270. 9:16the video, but trust me, this is super
  271. 9:17important, okay? So, getting your colors
  272. 9:20right is the first thing, and it's where
  273. 9:22a lot of people go wrong. Because if we
  274. 9:23look at this, you know, the colors are
  275. 9:25all over the place, and there's no
  276. 9:26consistency. Simple things make the most
  277. 9:30difference.
  278. 9:35So, we understand that we need three
  279. 9:37colors. Okay? The next thing is text.
  280. 9:40Text is again extremely important
  281. 9:42because those visuals, we only have
  282. 9:44certain elements. We don't want to
  283. 9:47hyper, you know, overload our carousels.
  284. 9:50You can see even with the carousels that
  285. 9:51I've done, it's simple. Okay? But every
  286. 9:55element needs to be done correctly. Now,
  287. 9:58with text, text has two jobs. Okay? One
  288. 10:01font shouts to stop the scroll and one
  289. 10:04stays calm to be read. Okay? So, this is
  290. 10:07what happens if you have one particular
  291. 10:09font. It just, you know, all sinks. If
  292. 10:11you have two that stand out, that's what
  293. 10:13works. So, essentially two fonts, two
  294. 10:15roles. One is for display, bold, heavy,
  295. 10:18full of personality, the headline. Then
  296. 10:20we have the body, clean, plain,
  297. 10:22invisible. If it has any personality,
  298. 10:24it's wrong. Okay? So, this idea is
  299. 10:28extremely important. And again, if I
  300. 10:30look at mine, you've got it there, two
  301. 10:31different fonts. If I go to
  302. 10:34uh this person right here, again, two.
  303. 10:37Sometimes they'll throw in three fonts,
  304. 10:39but you can see two main fonts. This is
  305. 10:42extremely important to build that
  306. 10:44consistency and to make your life
  307. 10:46easier. Because if you get an editor or
  308. 10:48designer, you know, if you are using a
  309. 10:50new AI, if you are on Canva, it just
  310. 10:54makes that Okay, I know that the keyword
  311. 10:55is going to be this font. I know that
  312. 10:56the body is going to be this font and,
  313. 10:58you know, things become easier. It's so
  314. 11:00simple once you lock it in. Now, to pick
  315. 11:04your font, you might be wondering, you
  316. 11:05know, what should I do? You could just
  317. 11:06type in text combinations Canva or just
  318. 11:09text combinations here
  319. 11:11and you'll get a bunch of different
  320. 11:12websites that can help you. AI can also
  321. 11:14help you. You can use 1001fonts, etc.
  322. 11:17But there's tons of different websites
  323. 11:18that can help you, um you know,
  324. 11:20different combinations. You know, if I
  325. 11:21just type in Monotype here, you know,
  326. 11:24select a font, etc. It can give me
  327. 11:26different ones that match. So, it
  328. 11:27depends on your brand. But this is again
  329. 11:30just a simple thing that can make your
  330. 11:32life easier. If I go to this chat right
  331. 11:34here, you can see
  332. 11:36I added my text immediately. So, this is
  333. 11:39my text and it doesn't look that good. I
  334. 11:41mean, it's just there. But, if I then
  335. 11:44ask it, "Okay, you know what? I need one
  336. 11:46to be my body and one to be this." You
  337. 11:48can see it already starts to be slightly
  338. 11:50different, a bit better. Now, this still
  339. 11:53not right because we're about to move to
  340. 11:55step three. So, let's move to step three
  341. 11:57and you'll see how the colors, the text,
  342. 12:00and the final thing just make everything
  343. 12:02so much easier with your carousels.
  344. 12:08Final thing is your template, your
  345. 12:10layout, that consistent positioning of
  346. 12:14your elements. So, your elements are the
  347. 12:15different things on your carousel.
  348. 12:18This is a decision that you basically
  349. 12:19make once and you never make it again.
  350. 12:21And all of the top creators are doing
  351. 12:23this.
  352. 12:24So, the system is something like this.
  353. 12:25So, the headline would be here, my
  354. 12:27content zone is here, then I have my
  355. 12:28handle, my page number, my arrow. And
  356. 12:31I'm just going to stick like this.
  357. 12:32Again, it becomes predictable. It means
  358. 12:34that when I go on Canva, when I go on
  359. 12:35AI, when I go on Photoshop, I don't need
  360. 12:38to think, "Where am I going to put this?
  361. 12:39Where am I going to put that?" No, I'm
  362. 12:40going to change the text. I'm going to
  363. 12:41focus on what matters, the information.
  364. 12:44So, let's look again. You know, you can
  365. 12:46see that exact kind of format here.
  366. 12:49Again, if I go into other creators. Now,
  367. 12:51this page is super interesting page,
  368. 12:53completely different niche. And you can
  369. 12:54see that they're kind of following
  370. 12:56everything I discussed about the fonts,
  371. 12:58about the color. They're sticking to
  372. 13:00only one font. Again, minimalistic and
  373. 13:02it works extremely well for them. Their
  374. 13:04engagement is super high. But, you can
  375. 13:06see layout stays consistent the whole
  376. 13:08time. Now, I wonder which page is
  377. 13:11actually is harder to create content
  378. 13:13for. Like, you know, it looks like this
  379. 13:15is probably harder than this. You know,
  380. 13:17boom. Because they have a system in
  381. 13:19place. Look. You know,
  382. 13:22like putting all of I mean, this
  383. 13:23probably was AI, but throwing all of
  384. 13:25this together on Canva, etc. What should
  385. 13:26I put here? Whereas, boom. One, two,
  386. 13:29three. Three elements and it's a
  387. 13:31high-performing carousel because it's a
  388. 13:33simple system. Now, let's go back to it.
  389. 13:35So,
  390. 13:37with your layout, okay? You've got
  391. 13:39multiple different options on what you
  392. 13:40can do, okay? You can go on to Pinterest
  393. 13:43and, you know, just explore different
  394. 13:45carousels. So, you can see if I press
  395. 13:46this one right here, best prompt ideas,
  396. 13:48you know, there's going to always be
  397. 13:49tons of different formats. So, this is a
  398. 13:51format I've seen all over Instagram.
  399. 13:54Then, there'll be other formats. You can
  400. 13:55use that to inspire you. You know, I've
  401. 13:57seen this format, I've seen this. It's
  402. 13:59just a matter of preference and testing,
  403. 14:01you know? There's this format. There's
  404. 14:03just so many different options that you
  405. 14:05can use to inspire you. And if I go to
  406. 14:08my one of my chats here,
  407. 14:10none of these.
  408. 14:11Um, you can see right here. Once I have
  409. 14:13everything connected, I'm able to create
  410. 14:16something like this simply using AI and
  411. 14:18one prompt. So, boom, and I'm on this.
  412. 14:21Now, of course, this could be better. I
  413. 14:23could improve it, but just with a simple
  414. 14:26kind of three-step system, I'm able to
  415. 14:28create something that actually really
  416. 14:30would stand out. And if I actually
  417. 14:31posted this on my Instagram, it probably
  418. 14:34wouldn't do amazing, but it wouldn't do
  419. 14:35bad because it still works. And this is
  420. 14:39the beauty of this system. You know, if
  421. 14:40I'm struggling one day to create
  422. 14:42content, boom, done. Because I
  423. 14:44understand again, I need I've got these
  424. 14:45colors, I've got these fonts, and I've
  425. 14:47got this layout. And once you pair this
  426. 14:49with the right visuals, etc., life
  427. 14:52becomes easier. Now, I can spend time
  428. 14:54creating visuals that I like, you know,
  429. 14:56me falling out of a roof, you know,
  430. 14:58whatever. Like, this is what I enjoy
  431. 15:00doing. I don't need to be thinking, oh,
  432. 15:02I'm going to put this text here. I'm
  433. 15:03going to have to do this. No, because
  434. 15:04I've built that system. Again, if you
  435. 15:06want me to teach you how to create stuff
  436. 15:08like this using ChatGPT image, etc., let
  437. 15:11me know in the comments.
  438. 15:12And remember, Higgs Field will be in the
  439. 15:14link of my description. I really
  440. 15:16recommend it to make your life easier if
  441. 15:18you're using AI in any way.
  442. 15:24The final thing now is the grid test and
  443. 15:26this is a bonus. Okay, so once you've
  444. 15:27got all these elements in, people don't
  445. 15:29follow one post, they follow the whole
  446. 15:30grid. When it comes to social media,
  447. 15:32they press your profile, they look at
  448. 15:33your profile. If I press this profile
  449. 15:35here, and I'm so sorry for this person,
  450. 15:36but you know, I hope you watch and and
  451. 15:38learn something. This is too messy and
  452. 15:41unprofessional. Okay, whereas if I press
  453. 15:43another profile, um let's say
  454. 15:47let's say this profile. You can see how
  455. 15:49like more professional it looks, clean.
  456. 15:52You know, 238,000
  457. 15:54followers.
  458. 15:55Just clean, but it's not complicated
  459. 15:57because they're following that system.
  460. 16:00Okay? So, what I want you to do with
  461. 16:01this is simply
  462. 16:04start to understand how things are going
  463. 16:06to look together. Okay, so people don't
  464. 16:08follow one post, they look. So, you
  465. 16:10know, this again will help you to
  466. 16:11actually be more consistent because when
  467. 16:13it comes to the next post, okay, this
  468. 16:15one's going to be a lighter post for
  469. 16:17example. Let's say you're doing it on
  470. 16:18colors. This one's going to be more
  471. 16:19orange. You know, I'm going to do it
  472. 16:20more orange. So, you start to have less
  473. 16:22questions to ask yourself because I know
  474. 16:24the fonts, I know the color, I know the
  475. 16:26you know, the style I need to do, etc.
  476. 16:28You can use scheduling software to also
  477. 16:30pre-plan your um content. So, you can
  478. 16:32actually see your content if you record
  479. 16:34in batches. You can like schedule it and
  480. 16:36then you can see visually how it looks.
  481. 16:39One brand or six different people. You
  482. 16:41don't want to look like everyone is
  483. 16:43posting what they want on your page
  484. 16:44because your page is one page and it's
  485. 16:46one brand. Okay? First three rows
  486. 16:48intentional or you get the follow random
  487. 16:50you don't, no matter how good the single
  488. 16:51post is. Okay? So, the and how does this
  489. 16:55all come together because of that hook?
  490. 16:56Because of that first frame, because of
  491. 16:58that first part of your carousel.
  492. 17:01If you are able to apply this, it's
  493. 17:03going to be a game-changer. If you want
  494. 17:05me to dive deeper into carousels, you
  495. 17:06know, the storytelling aspects of it,
  496. 17:08how they connect together, once you get
  497. 17:10the click, what happens next, how you're
  498. 17:12going to get the leads, how you're going
  499. 17:13to get you know, make those CTAs strong,
  500. 17:15let me know in the comments. React to
  501. 17:17op- React into option B, it's a blank
  502. 17:18canvas. Ask You can ask AI for any part
  503. 17:21of this video. So, where AI earns its
  504. 17:23place, ask AI for three palettes.
  505. 17:25Pick one that feels like you. Or two
  506. 17:27font pairings. Pick one that feels like
  507. 17:29you. It's honestly sis easy and over
  508. 17:32time you can practice and improve.
  509. 17:39We can't leave our friend the business
  510. 17:41superhero with nothing. So, we're going
  511. 17:43to recreate one of his using the formula
  512. 17:45that I've literally shown you in this
  513. 17:47video. So, if we look through his
  514. 17:49carousels, you can see right here. Let's
  515. 17:51go for
  516. 17:53uh how to attract what you truly want.
  517. 17:55So, this one right now, it's not really
  518. 17:57attracting anyone with this cover.
  519. 18:00What I will do is go to um Claude using
  520. 18:03my Hixfeld MCP and I will put a base
  521. 18:06image. So,
  522. 18:07if you want me to make a video where we
  523. 18:08talk about base images using ChatGPT
  524. 18:10image tool or any of the latest models
  525. 18:12to create really good uh
  526. 18:14cover backgrounds and even for your
  527. 18:16slides, again, let me know cuz that's
  528. 18:18super important and part of the series.
  529. 18:21But, you know, what you can see here is
  530. 18:22color, fonts, and layout. And I was able
  531. 18:25to generate a few to give you uh the
  532. 18:27examples. So, let's start here.
  533. 18:30So, you can see I'm on Hixfeld and this
  534. 18:32is what we're able to generate.
  535. 18:34Immediately, I've got a background to
  536. 18:35how to attract what you truly want. So,
  537. 18:39you know, in this case, I've kept it to
  538. 18:41just white uh writing due to the blue
  539. 18:44and orange, but maybe we can do
  540. 18:46something else. But, you can see the
  541. 18:47fonts, the simplicity of the layout
  542. 18:50makes a massive difference. Then, number
  543. 18:51two is this one where I changed the text
  544. 18:54a bit more and you can see again it
  545. 18:55makes a difference. Of course, I can
  546. 18:57have layouts where I put stuff here,
  547. 18:58here, here, you know, similar to how I
  548. 19:00have it on this one. But, you can see
  549. 19:03the difference it already makes if I
  550. 19:04look at his profile and suddenly I'm
  551. 19:06posting stuff like this, it looks way
  552. 19:08more professional. If I I it to be a bit
  553. 19:11more, you know, a bit more electric, a
  554. 19:13little a little bit different, then you
  555. 19:15can do something like this, how to
  556. 19:16attract what you truly want. And again,
  557. 19:18it works super well. If I want it to be
  558. 19:20even brighter, you can do that. Of
  559. 19:22course, this obviously kind of matches
  560. 19:24the colorway here. So, for example, he
  561. 19:26is more blue.
  562. 19:28I'm going to try and match this color
  563. 19:29with this. So, that blue is part of my
  564. 19:31kind of primary colors. Then a secondary
  565. 19:33might be an orange, you know, so if I
  566. 19:35wanted to do stuff up here, I could do
  567. 19:37that in orange. And this is just a
  568. 19:38simple kind of practice that you do
  569. 19:41every time with your covers, and
  570. 19:43long-term you will be successful with
  571. 19:45your carousels, because people will
  572. 19:47actually press your videos. This video
