How To Get Your Selfie Captions Right?

A good selfie caption should provide context, show your personality and be engaging for your friends and followers. Since captions don’t have a word limit and can go up to 2,200 characters in length, you should include emojis and a good number of hashtags. Even though experts say the more the hashtags the better to increase your followers, sometimes it could also come across as overdoing it. So, make sure you have a balance between your words, emojis and hashtags.

Here Are Some Key Tips To Craft The Perfect Selfie Caption:

Know your audience– Whether your followers are just your friends and family, or you have a public profile, you need to know who you’re writing for. Based on who your followers are, you need to be sure that your caption does not come across as offensive to anyone and it’s something that most people would like. For example, I love seeing all my friend’s pictures and throwback photos, but what makes them even better is the caption. The caption is just as important as the picture and catches all the attention.
Place the most important bits at the beginning- Everyone likes to read a good caption if it’s well written. But when writing long captions, it’s important to place the most interesting bit first. This is what will catch the attention of your friends and make them read further instead of just scrolling away. You need to convey your key points right in the beginning. Questions are also one of the most popular forms of engagement, so keep that in mind when you’re captioning your image. Questions also encourage your followers to comment and hence draw engagement.
Emojis, if used wisely, can be a quite a bonus- Emojis always draw a lot of attention, if you use them well. The animated icons are also a great way to add a bit of personality to your captions. Emoji can also stand in for entire words, keeping your copy short and fun.
Quotes make for great selfie captions- What better than using a quote by Maya Angelou or Mahatma Gandhi to go with your picture. But obviously, it should make sense and go with the image that you’ve posted. Randomly quoting famous people will not help.
Informative captions are the way to go- People always love a piece of new information, especially when it’s useful and important. So if you’ve gone for a trip and clicked that gorgeous selfie with the ocean as your backdrop, write a quick tip or a little-known fact about the destination as your caption.
Behind the scenes captions- If you’re an artist, or a chef or maybe someone who likes to do up their home, a before and after selfie is sure to attract a lot of attention! Your caption can describe the process of then to now or include tips for your followers in case they’d like to make the same dish or do up their home the same way.
The storytelling caption- Everyone loves to hear a good story, whether it’s about the first time you met your boyfriend, or how you and your bestie had the most amazing night of your lives, or the time you visited a zoo for the first time. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a storytelling caption makes it even better.
Minimalist/Short captions- If your picture is attention-grabbing and speaks for itself, a short selfie caption is the best.

There’s an entire variety of selfies that you take. Selfies with your parents, your BFFs, your siblings and your pet. And if you’re stuck at what to caption them, then we’ve got a whole lot of options for you.
