Expert Answer

To get better at writing captions, decide what better means for you. Do you want it to be short and punchy, more powerful, or more of a storyteller? Once you know that, study and look at famous social media posts and notice what makes their captions work. Then focus on making your captions sound like you because social media should reflect your voice, not copy someone else’s. Now match the emotion you want readers to feel with the words and style you use. Remember that writing captions should be fun and carefree!

Expert Answer

There are plenty more options! You could go with simple ones like “favorites from the archive” or “too good not to share.” Another fun angle is the classic “felt cute, might delete later”—but with a twist, like “felt cute, won’t delete later.” You can also lean into phrases like “nearly missed the feed” or “missed the grid” which gives your caption a casual, effortless vibe.
