1
Break the blog post into reusable ideas
15-20 min
15-20 min
Paste the blog post into Claude and ask it to extract all possible carousel angles. Look for frameworks, mistakes, myths, checklists, before-and-after contrasts, examples, and strong opinions. Do not summarize the blog yet. First create an idea inventory.
Output
A list of 15-25 carousel-worthy ideas extracted from the blog post.
Claude
Pro tip
The best carousel is usually not '5 takeaways from the blog.' It is one sharp sub-point from the article expanded into a standalone visual argument.
Prompt template
Extract LinkedIn carousel ideas from this blog post.
Blog post:
{{blog_post}}
Audience:
{{target_audience}}
Brand voice:
{{brand_voice}}
Return 15-25 carousel ideas grouped by format:
- Mistakes
- Frameworks
- Myths
- Step-by-step
- Before/after
- Contrarian POV
- Checklist
- Examples
For each idea, include:
- carousel title
- core argument
- why it would work on LinkedIn
- suggested number of slides.2
Select 8-12 carousel angles for the month
20-30 min
20-30 min
Choose 8-12 ideas that feel meaningfully different from each other. Mix educational, contrarian, tactical, and story-led formats. Put them into Typeshare or a simple doc with columns for hook, format, target reader, CTA, and publish week.
Output
A monthly carousel plan with 8-12 distinct angles and formats.
TypeshareClaude
Pro tip
Avoid publishing carousels from the same blog in the order they appeared in the article. Spread related ideas apart so the feed does not feel repetitive.
3
Write slide-by-slide carousel copy
45-60 min
45-60 min
Use Claude to write each carousel slide by slide. Keep each slide focused on one idea. Include a strong cover slide, a clear payoff slide, and a final CTA slide that points back to the blog post, newsletter, demo, or related resource.
Output
Complete slide copy for 8-12 LinkedIn carousels.
Claude
Pro tip
Slide 2 is the retention slide. If slide 1 is the hook, slide 2 must prove the carousel is worth finishing.
Prompt template
Write LinkedIn carousel copy for the following idea.
Carousel idea:
{{carousel_idea}}
Source blog post excerpts:
{{relevant_blog_excerpts}}
Audience:
{{target_audience}}
Tone:
{{brand_voice}}
Create:
- Cover slide, max 10 words
- 6-8 body slides, max 25 words per slide
- Final CTA slide
- LinkedIn caption, 80-150 words
Rules:
- One idea per slide
- No vague business jargon
- Make slide 2 create curiosity or tension
- The carousel must stand alone without reading the blog.4
Create a reusable Canva carousel template
60-90 min
60-90 min
Build one simple Canva template with cover, body, quote, checklist, and CTA slide layouts. Use consistent typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy. Do not design each carousel from scratch. Duplicate the template and paste in each carousel's slide copy.
Output
Reusable Canva carousel template plus first batch of designed carousel drafts.
Canva
Pro tip
Design for mobile first. If the slide text is not readable on a phone at arm's length, the carousel is overdesigned.
5
Create captions and post variants
20-30 min
20-30 min
Use Claude to generate captions for each carousel. Create two caption versions per post: one educational and one more opinionated. This gives you options depending on how strong the visual hook already is.
Output
Two caption options for every carousel, ready for scheduling.
ClaudeTypeshare
Pro tip
Do not repeat the cover slide in the caption. Use the caption to add context, story, or a sharper point of view.
Prompt template
Write two LinkedIn caption options for this carousel.
Carousel title:
{{carousel_title}}
Slide copy:
{{slide_copy}}
Audience:
{{target_audience}}
CTA:
{{cta}}
Version 1: educational and useful
Version 2: opinionated and sharper
Rules:
- 80-150 words
- Strong first line
- Do not repeat the cover slide wording
- No hashtags unless explicitly useful
- End with a natural CTA.6
Schedule and measure the carousel series
30-45 min
30-45 min
Upload the finished carousels and captions into Taplio. Schedule 2-3 carousels per week for a month. Use Shield to monitor saves, comments, profile views, and engagement rate so you know which angle from the original blog created the most demand.
Output
A scheduled month of LinkedIn carousels with analytics tracking in place.
TaplioShield
Pro tip
Saves are often a better signal than likes for educational carousels. A lower-like post with high saves may be the one to turn into a webinar or lead magnet.
