I know how hard it can be sometimes to come up with a question or topic to include in your instagram captions. I’ve recently been having the exact same problem, especially being super busy all the time, the last thing I want to do is sit down for 10 minutes trying to come up with an interesting starter to my instagram caption. Here are a few questions/ideas to kick start your instagram caption and get everyone joining in on the fun!
Taking a personal approach to the caption is always the best way to get an audience growing on your post! Keep the questions open ended too rather than questions requiring a yes or no answer. Keeping the captions nice and short will be a big winner as, lets be real, no one wants to be reading a 3 paragraph caption on a pretty post. Be UNIQUE, think outside the box and most of all, have fun! Captions are supposed to be short, sweet, fun, interesting and CAPTIVATING. Remember, it’s a caption, not a news article!
Bookstagram caption ideas:
⁃ “Book recommendations please!”
⁃ “Who’s your favourite author?”
⁃ “What do you do in real life?”
⁃ “What’s your favourite book/series?”
⁃ “Let’s write a story. I’ll write a sentence and you guys add on another sentence”
⁃ “Describe your day in emoji’s”
⁃ “Describe your current read in emoji’s”
⁃ “Predictive text time! Start by typing “_____(insert whatever you like)_____” and let predictive text finish it for you”
⁃ “Which books do you own multiple copies of?”
⁃ Which books have you read multiple times?”
⁃ “What series do you want to reread?”
⁃ “What new release book are you excited to read?”
⁃ “How do you organise your bookshelves?”
⁃ “What’s your favourite fandom?”
⁃ “Where are you guys from?”
⁃ “What books are on your TBR?”
⁃ “What are some things you can’t live without?”
⁃ “Let’s get to know one another, comment your answers to my questions and see if anyone else has the same answers as you! (Write 3-5 questions and then your answers further down)”
⁃ “What books/authors have you discovered through bookstagram?”
