Step 1: Generate Captivating Copy with GPT‑4

High‑impact captions are the backbone of engagement. Here’s my go‑to GPT‑4 prompt:

“Write three 100‑character Instagram captions about sustainable fashion using a playful tone, include one emoji, and end with a question.”

Within seconds, I receive 3 ready‑to‑use variations. I pick my favorite, adjust any brand mentions, and I’m done. In an A/B test of 200 posts, AI‑generated captions saw a 35% higher engagement rate than manually written ones.

Step 2: Create Branded Visuals with DALL·E

Next, I generate eye‑catching images. My DALL·E prompt:

“A flat‑lay of eco‑friendly clothing tags on a light wood table, minimalist style, pastel accents, social media friendly.”

DALL·E returns 3 high‑res images in under 30 seconds. I choose one, resize to 1080×1080 px, and apply my brand’s color overlay in Canva (~10 seconds).
