November Social Media Trends to Jump On
Now that your content ideas are flowing, let’s talk about a few social media trends you can use to spice things up:
Carousel Posts:
Carousel posts (multiple images or slides) are popping off lately. Since they give followers multiple slides to interact with, you get more chances to catch people’s attention. Pro tip: if they don’t swipe the first time, platforms often re-show your post with the second slide first—double the exposure!
Short-Form Content with a Twist:
Short videos are still in, but slightly longer ones (around 30–60 seconds) are making waves. With YouTube Shorts’ limit now up to 3 minutes, you’ve got extra space to tell a story, give a tip, or make people laugh. Experiment with these longer formats to keep things fresh.
Keep It Real:
It’s official—polished, perfect content is out, and real, authentic content is in. People want to see the real deal! User-generated content, candid shots, and behind-the-scenes clips are way more relatable, so let your brand’s true colors shine.
SEO-Friendly Captions:
With hashtags becoming less important, platforms are shifting toward SEO-driven captions. To be found, use keywords that relate to your industry and what your followers are searching for. Think of it like writing a mini blog post—pack in those juicy keywords for maximum reach!
