| **Story/Case Study** | 4-6 | Context → Action → Outcome | Authentic storytelling |

## Implementation

### Step 1: Choose Format - Single vs Carousel

**Use single image when**:
- Simple product showcase
- Minimalist aesthetic
- One powerful image tells complete story

- Telling story or showing process
- Providing tutorial or step-by-step guide
- Showing multiple products or options
- Before-and-after comparison
- Educational or listicle content

**Pro tip**: Carousels get 2-3x more engagement than single images because swiping = interaction signal to algorithm.

   - Make promise: "让我...的方法"
   - Ask question: "你知道...吗?"

2. **Eye-catching visual**
   - High contrast, bright or warm colors
   - Clear subject (face or product)
   - Minimal clutter and distraction

3. **Text overlay** (recommended)
   - Position: top or center third
   - Font: bold, white text with black outline
   - Size: large enough to read in feed without zoom

**Examples of effective hooks**:
```
✅ "这个方法让我1个月涨了5000粉" (specific result + curiosity)
✅ "学生党必看的5个平价好物" (target audience + number)
✅ "没想到这个习惯毁了皮肤" (negative curiosity hook)
✅ "坚持了30天，变化惊呆了" (timeframe + promise)
```
