How To Create a Carousal Post On LinkedIn With Canva | how to create a LinkedIn carousel post

Have you noticed that on LinkedIn people are able to do those carousel type of posts where you can scroll through the different graphics? But maybe you haven't figured out exactly how to do that. In this video, I'm going to walk you through how to generate content for those, but then also what format you need to export it and how to get it on your LinkedIn account. Today we're going to be using Canva for this and we're going to be using their AI-generated tool to generate content for it. So how do we do this? Simple. We're going to go to the top right-hand side and we're going to go and create a document. Now, once we're in a Canva document, we're going to use their magic Write AI tool. You may not have known this even existed. Hit the little plus sign here. We're going to go to Magic Write, and we're just going to give it a quick prompt for what we want. So I'm going to say, write a blog post with 5 tips on being a better podcast host. Okay, very simple. And I'm going to call it a podcast. I know it's not going to write long-form content. It's basically going to be writing me an outline with those 5 tips. So Those are going to be then used for the slides that we want. Takes a few seconds for it to generate, but as you can see here, very simple for this work. So we want to remove now the write a blog post from the heading because this is going to be the opening slide in that slider. And you can go ahead and, you know, adjust any of the content in here. Grammarly is amazing, just picks up a couple things. There we go. Perfect. Uh, now in the top right-hand side, we're going to click convert. We're going to convert this to a presentation. We're going to say Get Started, and then we can choose the different presentations that we have. Whether you have your brand colors in there, you can go ahead and choose those from this. Now I'm going to go ahead and just choose one that I like, that I think is very simple. That one there, there's a little squiggly effect. Okay, so I'm just going to use the basic one here. So I'm going to say Create My Presentation. You can go ahead and spend more time on design that you would like here, but for the sake of what we're doing, it's going to create basically a slideshow. This is where you can go through and, you know, adjust different things that you want. So I'm going to kind of make this a little bigger. We know that these are going to be a social post and that are there, so we're going to make it a little easier to read. What I want to do here is, you see there is a heading to each one, I'm going to cut that out of there and I'm going to paste it back in. So I'm going to do that for each. Let's just go ahead and do that here. Paste. Make these a little bigger. I'm going to go ahead and jump ahead. I'll just do that for each of these slides, and then you'll see in just a second, uh, we'll be at the end of this stage. Okay, so now as you can see, I've created these, and you can go through and just Flip through them and see how they would look. Now I want to add our brand in there, so I'm going to go ahead and go to the logo section, and I'm going to go ahead to the first slide, and I'm going to drop in our logo. Okay, I'm going to make that obviously not as prominent as the rest in here. We'll center that. We'll pull this up a little bit like that. And one cool tip is if you copy this to your clipboard and then just go to each and just Ctrl+V, it'll actually place it in the exact same spot. In each of the slides that are there. Okay, now once we're done with that, what we're going to do now is we are going to save it. So we are going to rename the name up here, and we're going to go share, but we're going to download this now as a PDF, right? So we're going to use a PDF standard and all 8 pages. We can flatten the PDF, that'll make it easier for, for the uploading. We won't have to worry about fonts if it's not going to read it properly, and we're going to say download. Now it's going to download a single PDF that is going to have all those different slides in it. Once that is downloaded, that is all you need to go over to LinkedIn and start to upload this content. All right, so we're going to hop over to LinkedIn and we are going to go ahead and create a post. Now, one thing you'll see here when you go to the post side, you don't see what you want here that you need. You're going to have to click on start a post and you're going to go down to the bottom and you're going to look for document. And we're going to upload that document that we just created here, 5 Tips to Be a Podcast Host. And there it is right there. Now one thing to be aware of is you need to describe it here. So, 5 tips on being a better podcast host. This will be visible to the person that is seeing it in the post, so make sure that this is, you know, as clean and accurate as you want it to be. And we're going to hit done, and then it's going to show up just like this. Now I'm going to go ahead and write a preliminary text for this. So what we're going to do, and what I would actually recommend that you could actually do, is go back to your slide here and take this because it did make a summary of what the whole thing was about. So we're going to paste that in there and see what we can look at. So, are you looking to become a better podcast host?
