Opt-in freebie carousel template

What is inside this template

  • A 5-slide arc that runs pain to hidden-cost to quick wins to proof to a comment-to-DM ask
  • A swappable cover line where [topic] becomes your niche in one edit
  • A list_card pre-loaded with 3 win slots you rewrite as the actual bullets inside your freebie
  • A tweet_card that handles the it's-not-a-40-page-PDF objection so the offer feels easy to grab
  • A cta_card with the trigger word (GUIDE) wired to the keyword and caption fields

How to customize it

  1. Name the freebie

    Replace every [name of freebie] and [your freebie] placeholder with the real asset title, for example The 7-Day Inbox Reset. Keep it concrete enough that the cover promise feels specific.

  2. Load the 3 wins

    Swap the list_card bullets for the actual quick wins inside your download. Lead each one with the result, not the feature, so the audit, the step order, and the common mistake map to your offer.

  3. Pick the trigger word

    Change GUIDE to a word your audience will not mistype, then match it in the cta_card body, the keyword field, and your post caption so the comment-to-DM automation fires cleanly.

  4. Tune the objection slide

    Edit the print-it, screenshot-it tweet_card to match how your freebie is delivered (a Notion page, a one-pager, a short email course) so the low-effort promise stays honest.

Example: the formula filled in

For a freelance UX designer growing a list of agency leads: the hook reads You don't need more portfolio advice, you need one page that tells you what to land next. The 3 quick wins become a 5-minute audit of your current case studies, the exact order to pitch a retainer, and the one proposal line that kills most deals. The ask: Comment AUDIT and I'll DM you the one-page Retainer Checklist.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How long should the freebie itself be?
Keep it to a single page or one screen. This deck sells a do-this-next checklist, so a sprawling 40-page PDF breaks the promise and tanks your follow-through, which is what people actually judge you on.
Do I have to use the comment-to-DM mechanic?
No. If you don't run DM automation, change the cta_card to point at a link in bio or a typed-out reply. The trigger word just makes the handoff trackable and gives the algorithm a reason to push the post.
What if my audience already knows the topic?
Then shift the hook from teaching to sequencing. Experienced people rarely lack information, they lack a clear order, so lean harder on the it's not having a do-this-next checklist angle from slide two.
