THE USEFUL PART
Originality over imitation
A familiar format can be a good container for an unfamiliar idea. Begin with an audience problem, identify the structure that helps explain it, and make the demonstration your own.
STEP 01
Observe with context
Keep a small collection of examples and record where and when you saw each one. Your feed is an observation point, not a complete picture of Instagram.
STEP 02
Write the original contribution
Describe what your post adds: a demonstration, a comparison, a useful answer, or a story you have permission to tell.
STEP 03
Review the right outcome
Connect available performance information and relevant audience responses to the purpose you set before publishing.
