How to turn these into posts that convert
Post 3-5 times a week mixing before/after slideshows, design process reveals, and client testimonial slides. Angle: education + proof. Avoid jargon, overly complex layouts, or posting only finished work. Show the value of professional design through concrete results. Use trending sounds to boost discovery but keep slides clear and fast.
Timing: Post monday to thursday at 6pm when small business owners scroll after work.
