Writing Frameworks Powering Our Templates
Our caption templates leverage proven writing frameworks to help craft compelling posts tailored to your goals. Here's an overview:
Educational Posts
Combine frameworks like Problem-Agitate-Solve (PAS) and The Inverted Pyramid. PAS clearly defines a problem, emphasizes its negative impacts, and positions your post as a solution. The Inverted Pyramid prioritizes key information up front and adds supporting details afterward.
Promotional Posts
Harnesses strategies like AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) and Features-Advantages-Benefits (FAB). AIDA structures an engaging narrative. FAB provides details on features, explains their advantages over competitors, and describes user benefits.
Listicles
Follow listicle best practices like utilizing a catchy opening hook, organizing points clearly with bullet points, and providing concise yet informative descriptions for each item. This entertains readers while quickly delivering information.
Personal Stories
Blend frameworks like the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and The Narrative Approach. STAR provides structure while the Narrative Approach incorporates vivid details and connects the story to a broader meaning.
Thought Leadership
Combine Comparative Analysis to objectively compare perspectives with the Point-Evidence-Explanation (PEE) method. PEE clearly states your central opinion up front, provides factual evidence to support it, and expands on the evidence to reinforce your point.
