How a list carousel is built
A list carousel promises a number of things on slide one and delivers one per slide. It is the most common format among outliers because it is easy to swipe, easy to save and easy to share.
- Slide 1: the promise, usually with a number (“7 tools that…”)
- Slides 2 to N: one item per slide, a short title and one line of why it matters
- Last slide: a recap or a reason to save, follow or comment
Use it when: You have several tips, tools, mistakes or examples that each stand on their own.

Turn one of these into your own post
- Pick the structure, not the subject. Choose a carousel whose shape fits an idea you already have: the hook pattern, the slide count, the way it ends.
- Keep what made it work. Note the first-slide promise, how much text each slide carries and what the last slide asks for.
- Write it about your world. Swap in your own topic, examples and voice. Credit the creator if you borrow something specific.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good list carousel about business & marketing?
A specific first slide, like “HOW TO GO BACK TO WORK AT A JOB THAT MAKES YOU FEEL HOLLOW [BACKED BY PSYCHOLOGY]” (@hannagetshired, 72×), “THINGS I DO AS A FEMALE CEO THAT GIVE MEN A STROKE” (@herfirst100k, 20×), “OPEN-RESIDENCY* THE WORD THE FBI BANNED One word triggers defensiveness in every country, every culture, every age group. The FBI banned it in hostage…” (@markbrazil, 15×), then a clear structure: slide 1: the promise, usually with a number (“7 tools that…”); slides 2 to n: one item per slide, a short title and one line of why it matters; last slide: a recap or a reason to save, follow or comment.
How many slides should a list carousel about business & marketing have?
Most business & marketing list carousels in the library use 9 slides, and 43% use 9–12 slides. Across all niches, carousels with 11–15 slides were the most likely to double their creator’s usual engagement (28%), and 2–3 slide carousels the least likely (16%).
What is an outlier carousel?
An outlier carousel got more likes and comments than its creator usually gets. Top Carousels divides each carousel’s likes + comments by the median of up to 20 carousels from the same creator posted around the same time, so 3× means three times that creator’s usual engagement.
