Most people treat highlights like a junk drawer.
Random. Outdated. Zero strategy.
But your highlights should act like a silent sales funnel that works for you 24/7 — even when you’re not posting.
Here’s the exact beginner-friendly highlight strategy I recommend 👇
✅ The ONLY 5 Highlights You Need (Especially as a Beginner)
1️⃣ START HERE
This is your welcome mat.
- Who you help
- What problem you solve
- What result you guide people to
💡 Think: “If someone only watched this highlight, would they understand why to follow me?”
2️⃣ MY STORY
People buy from people.
- Why you started
- What wasn’t working before
- What changed
You don’t need a dramatic story — just a relatable one.
3️⃣ FREE TRAINING
This is HUGE.
- Your free course
- Free workshop
- Free resource
This is where warm followers turn into actual leads.
4️⃣ PROOF / WINS
Even beginner proof counts:
- Testimonials
- First sales
- Student messages
- Your own progress
Proof builds trust faster than any caption ever will.
5️⃣ NEXT STEP
Don’t assume people know what to do.
- “Start here”
- “Join this”
- “This is your next move”
Clarity converts.
This should lead to your CORE OFFER.
