Carousels have become one of the most effective tools to grow an audience on Instagram and LinkedIn. But with more content creators rushing onto these platforms to cash in on social media gold, it’s increasingly difficult to stand out from the noise. So what can you do? Make high-value content people will naturally save, share, and engage with.
Beginner to intermediate
Basic knowledge of design software such as Keynote or Adobe Illustrator is recommended. Feel free to use whichever design software you are most comfortable with.
Market your business through high-value content utilizing Instagram carousels.
Have social algorithms foiled your marketing strategy? Rather than hope for the best, Chris will take you through his content creation process and show you how to work with the algorithm to increase the engagement of each of your posts. He'll take you from the macro-level (content strategy) to the micro (what fonts and colors to use for your specific post).
I really enjoyed taking this workshop to improve my ability to create Instagram carousels. I was able to complete a carousel in the class with fellow attendees, and I had a lot of fun! I highly suggest this workshop to anyone who struggles with coming up with a problem solving idea, fleshing it out, and condensing it to fit on eight Instagram slides. Chris Do Rocks! He made the experience enjoyable, and gave us more than we expected. I highly recommend this workshop.
Really enjoyed this course and having my carousel critiqued by Chris. Creating Instagram content can be challenging but Chris made it easy with his proven framework and tips. What surprised me was how you don’t even need to add images and you want to stay on one subject.
This workshop was a game-changer. I've already started applying the principles to my own brand and those of my clients too and I can see the results.What was most valuable to me, was how the workshop explained the 'why'. This means that the principles can be applied to different parts of content creation, not just carouses.I would recommend this workshop for anyone looking to create carousels that get then holds, attention
I loved Chris’ carousels and wanted to know how to create similar ones myself. At first, I was skeptic if the course was worth the money because I had already watched many of his free YouTube videos on this exact topic. But, after taking the course, I can happily say that Chris’ provided immense value that goes far beyond the free content already available elsewhere. Even though you still need to “do the work”, his practical advice will provide you with the frameworks, templates and tools that will make that work a lot easier. You won’t need another course on creating carousels ever again. Highly recommended.

This course is for any designer looking to understand type to improve their layout and design skills.
I learned more about typography in this course than during my BA in graphic design. This gives me confidence that I can make effective layouts and better design of any kind. I also felt I was part of a community, who learned together. Once a week for seven weeks, Chris critiqued our submitted layouts and this motivated us to put knowledge into practice and submit our work. This course is the best investment I've made in myself in becoming a better graphic designer. And I've invested in a lot of courses and books.
If you want to stay ahead of the curve and create powerful content that converts, this course is for you. You’ll learn the top tips and techniques to organically grow your profiles.
Maybe you’ve heard me say it before: you need to post regularly. But to be honest, consistency and frequency are just the tip of the iceberg to building your brand’s awareness on Instagram and LinkedIn. There’s so much more to it than pushing out content, waiting for the algorithm to notice us. Everything I’ve learned from content marketing has been distilled into this course. I’m going to teach you how to gain more followers, grow your brand’s awareness, and even create new revenue opportunities through your original content. You’ll have the tools, resources, and insight at your disposal so you can surpass your marketing goals.
