How To Add Spaces To Your Instagram Captions

IT’S WINE WEDNESDAYYYYY… I mean new YouTube video Wednesday..⁠.

NOTE – this tutorial was created prior to just being able to click “enter” on your Instagram caption while writing it.

PRO TIP – separate your paragraphs using emojis to keep the reader engaged. Don’t have a paragraph that is more than a few sentences in length. Readability is KEY on Instagram.

This little instagram hack leaves people frustrated and confused when they can’t figure it out, but I’ve got you my friend!

First of all, why is this so important? Well, without those little spaces your caption drags on and on and on. I find a lot of value in long, engaging captions but if the sentence length is too long or it isn’t broken up, you better believe I have tuned out. 

There are multiple ways to do this. You could write the caption in a note on your phone or use an app like Later. I love Later since I can type everything out on my desktop. 

Go on to the Later desktop app, start your caption and when you have completed the sentence simply put a period and then do return return. This will ensure you have a line break in between the paragraphs. 

What if you’ve already published it to Instagram? Simply go in to the app and do the same things. Certain symbols like parentheses or emojis may mess this up, so just keep that in mind. 

I hope this helped you solve the ever frustrating issue of your paragraphs blurring together.

Enjoy this video all about the frequently asked question – “HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU ADD SPACES TO YOUR INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS?!” I’ve got you friend 👊

In this video I’m going to show you how to create spaces in your Instagram captions so it’s not just one long annoying paragraph — You are gonna be shocked at how easy this is!

When you are creating your caption, all you need to do is instead of doing a space after the period and then going “enter”, you need to have no space, and then click enter. Also, do this outside of the app. I suggest doing it in a note on your phone or I love using the Later app.

Simply create your post and then when you are writing the text immediately click “enter” after your period to go to the next paragraph!

I hope that made sense; if you have any other questions about Instagram or strategies that are best for 2020 or website questions, please leave them in the comments below. I would love to create a video for you and I look forward to connecting! Meet me over on Instagram!

HOW DO YOU ADD SPACES TO YOUR INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS

I’ve got messy hair and a thirsty heart. 

I overshare my life, and have an ultra-expressive personality. Some words people use to describe me are: helpful, real, fun, creative, authentic, and kind.

Elphaba from Wicked is kind of my alter-ego as I am always trying to forge my own path and make a difference in the World, somehow, someway, while also constantly criticizing myself and trying to become the better version of me.

Quality conversations + coffee come easy to me. 

I’ve never had an issue connecting naturally with others (probs because I can go on and on about my life story, not that it is interesting, I just process externally, anyone else?!) 

I find so much joy in helping and serving others and I give myself fully to whatever it is that engages me, whether that is running a 50k or creating a website in a day.
