Today’s carousel workshop was a very good reminder that a carousel should be doing a LOT more than giving someone five tips in five slightly different coloured boxes. 😅

We spent 90 minutes (actually 105 mins) looking at how to use carousels to tell stories, build curiosity, structure an idea so people actually want to keep swiping, and create hooks that stop someone long enough to pay attention.

Most importantly, everyone left with a framework they can keep using and their own carousel already taking shape.

This is exactly what we want Pink Nest workshops to be: practical enough that you actually make something while you’re there, but strategic enough that you understand why it works too.

And if today has given you FOMO, we’ve got two more in-person workshops coming up:
🎥 12th October: Reels 💻 19th November: Canva with Jo Richards Brand and Graphic Design for Small Businesses

Keep an eye out for booking details very soon. 💗

Carousels are having a moment...

And yet we see so many businesses spending hours creating them without really thinking about why someone would stop, swipe, save or engage with them.

Because a good carousel isn’t just a collection of pretty Canva slides. There’s a strategy behind it.

Next week, we’re going to show you exactly what that strategy looks like.

In our 90-minute Carousel Workshop, we’ll be getting practical. You’ll learn how to create stronger hooks, structure your slides to keep people swiping, turn your ideas into engaging carousel content AND actually create something during the session.

So you won’t just leave with a page full of notes and another thing for your to-do list.

-Wednesday 16th September
-10–11.30am
-Live online + 30-day replay
-Just £30

It's back to school, perhaps your social media looks a bit like tumbleweed or you have just set yourself the goal of improving it this autumn, Don't worry we've got you covered.

We're running an online workshop on the 16th September 10-11.30am to teach you how to make Scroll-Stopping carousels. Carousels are often outperforming reels right now, so we're going to show you how to make them work for your account and business.

As with all our workshops this will be hands on, you're going to be doing things throughout the session and we will give you feedback at the same too.

Tickets are just £30, grab your space! Comment below and we will send you the details.

What would Dolly do?

Probably add more rhinestones. But there are also some pretty brilliant business lessons we can take from her.

Dolly Parton built an unmistakable personal brand. She knew exactly who she was, didn’t try to appeal to everyone and wasn’t afraid to stand out.

But the thing we love most about her is her generosity.

Now, most of us aren’t in a position to give away millions, but we can support the people around us.

Because lifting someone else’s business doesn’t take anything away from yours.

And while we’re taking lessons from Dolly… be kind, be brave, know your worth, think strategically and never be afraid of a little sparkle.

You don’t need the big hair or rhinestones.*

Although they might help!

Have a think how can you be more Dolly today?

*Big hair and rhinestones created with a little help from AI. Sadly, our actual hair refuses to do this.

You do not need to dance, point at text or lip sync your way through every Instagram post (even if we’re both always doing that 😂)

Sometimes, you’ve actually got something to SAY.

And that is where a really good carousel comes in.

On our next 90-minute Pink Nest workshop, we’re getting properly stuck into carousels. Not just how to make one look nice in Canva, but how to create one that makes somebody stop, swipe, keep reading and actually get to the end.

We’ll be covering the techy bits, Canva vs Instagram, templates and making the whole process quicker.

But more importantly, we’re getting into the content:
✨ What makes a strong first slide ✨ How to keep people swiping ✨ Storytelling through a carousel ✨ Turning your knowledge and opinions into genuinely interesting content ✨ Using carousels to build authority AND sell ✨ How to stop every educational post becoming “5 tips for…” 😴

Basically, if you’ve ever thought “I know I should make more carousels, but they take me bloody ages”… this one has your name on it.

The workshop is usually £30, but because we’ve just opened the doors, there’s 10% off until Sunday!

Then it’s back up to full price.

Come and leave with a much better idea of what to post, how to structure it and how to create it without losing half your working day to moving text boxes around Canva.

We’re calling it: Edits is one of those apps small business owners are massively underusing. 👀

There are loads of little features hiding inside it that can make creating Reels quicker, easier and considerably less “WHY IS INSTAGRAM MAKING THIS SO DIFFICULT?” 😅

These are three of some of our favourites because they solve actual content-creating annoyances:
✨ forgetting what you wanted to say ✨ putting text somewhere Instagram immediately covers it ✨ wanting to show something on screen without completely changing your Reel

And the best bit? Edits is free.

This is exactly the kind of practical tech stuff we love sharing at our Pink Nest workshops.
Not fancy tricks for the sake of fancy tricks, but things that actually make showing up easier when you’re running a business at the same time.

Which one did you not know about? Tell us below 👇

And save this one because there’s a very good chance you’ll forget where that tiny button lives the second you actually need it. 😂

There are certain workshops that we know are going to change the way people market their business.

This is one of them.

We’ve been quietly building something that is practical, strategic and ridiculously easy to put into action. The kind of workshop where you’ll leave with ideas you can actually use instead of a notebook full of inspiration that never sees the light of day.

We’ll tell you more next week 🤫

Our email subscribers will get first access before we open it publicly, so if you don’t want to risk missing a space, now’s the time to join one of our mailing lists (links are in our bio)

Trust us. This one’s worth getting excited about. 🩷💚

We had to step outside our comfort zone a bit this week and try something new. We’ve never done an online workshop before, and this week we tried one.

We’l were concerned a lot of our appeal was our face to face workshops. But we were wrong and we sold to them people that didn’t live in the local area - super exciting.

The whole aim of the workshop was to get you doing the work this us, to finally get those welcome emails off your to do list and to get live feedback as you did it.

Tell us, would you like to join one on the future? And what would you like to learn about?
