Instagram's best kept secret

Sure, everyone is yapping. But you know what's getting even crazier engagement? Carousels.

And the best part? Your sweatpants, mom bun and half-eaten bag of Doritos can all come along for the content creation ride. And the introvert within can rejoice, knowing you can grow your following, get big opportunities, and make money (nerds rejoice!)

Because yaps may be having a moment… but carousels are where you get the followers.

And the money.

All because of carousels…

And get my Dirty Carousel Engine

…which turns your script + messy screenshots into beautiful carousels that do not look like Claude created them.

(Because we are NOT a fan of those atrocities!)

This is the Dirty Carousel Engine.

Your script and screenshots go in. A finished carousel comes out.

hi!

You

“Here's my script and my screenshots. Please pull the best template from my Instagram and make a carousel with it.”

Script15 screenshots
Dirty Carousel Engine

I pulled your Alix Earle carousel as the template. Read all 15 screenshots, then here's what I did next.

  1. A full-screen Google Images screenshot
    1 Found the photo in your screenshot
  2. The photo, cropped out of the screenshot
    2 Cropped it clean
  3. Blake Lively cut out as a sticker
    3 Cut her out
  4. The finished cover slide
    4 Placed her on your cover

Then I put all your text into the carousel:

  • Sorted it into headlines and body copy
  • Set it in your brand fonts
  • Put it in your brand colors
  • Laid it out on every slide

Here's the match plan. Swap any picture before I build.

Hi!
Why trust me

Hi, I'm Marisa.

And carousels are responsible for my entire lead generation, blowing up my IG account from 4K to 42K in one year, multiple podcast appearances… and the 3 international speaking gigs I've booked next year.

Without running ads, trying to sell my copywriting, or pitching for podcasts (ok, I pitched one), these opportunities have all landed at my door because of one thing.

I've learned to master the art of carousels.

And because I've been able to repeatedly go viral and build trust through my carousels, I've managed to…

I'm not saying I'm psychic.

I'm saying there's a method that works to position you as the authority in your industry, get a truckload of followers and create content that makes others say OH, I WANT TO WORK WITH HER (or him!).

So let me teach you the method

While everyone's pivoting to yapping… you're going to cash in on Instagram's best kept secret.

So let me teach you the method to make carousels create money for your business. Because right now, your feed is bombarded with butter yellow yapping reels (we love them)… but it also means that anything that's different STANDS OUT. And that's where carousels come in.

And to create content that gets followers. Because reels are great, but if you've had a random reel go viral you'll know one thing: random virality doesn't increase your follower count.

Consistent carousels do, because they…

On top of this… Instagram is literally pushing them right now.

No overwhelming options, no gazillion choices to choose from, just 2 simple options per day, so you can write a script, drop it into the Dirty Carousel Engine, watch the carousel come to life and hit publish.

Surprise bonuses

Did someone say surprise live carousel reviews by Marisa?

Going viral is step one

So yes, there's a strategy to going viral with carousels, but there's even more strategy to making money.

Because, like me, you want bigger opportunities. You'd love speaking engagements. You'd really love to be seen as an industry expert…

But how?

My answer to almost all of it… carousels.

But the biggest opportunity? I've been able to make money with them.

(And this was happening before I blew up my account… when I had just 4K followers.)

Because that's where my biggest opportunities have all come…

  • →
    Podcast appearances on a top 1% podcast
  • →
    International speaking gigsI've got three lined up for next year
  • →
    Celebrity clientsa curse on the NDAs
  • →
    My biggest launch everrrrr$50K USD from growing my audience from… carousels

Views are nice, but money is nicer.

Most content advice stops at "go viral." But I've watched accounts with 100K followers struggle to sell a $27 product, and accounts with 3K followers book out every single month.

The difference isn't the follower count. It's whether people actually do something after they read your comment (IF they read your comment).

That's what this challenge teaches. Carousels that make people stop, swipe, trust you… and then go looking for their credit card.

Instagram comment with names redacted: Now the question we all want to know... did that make you more money in your business?!? Because THAT'S why people want to go viral! A reply: would love to see a post breaking this down! @dirty.copy
*actual screenshot I received*
The question I get the most

Sure you've gone viral, but can you make money from it?

And the answer is YES!!!

Instagram was my single lead generator long before I blew up on Instagram (so if you're wanting to know if this works with a smaller account, yes, yes it does!)

Annnd, leads coming in without me ever advertising or mentioning my copywriting services on Insta. (No selling!)

*actual inbox, enquirers blurred*

"But I will literally die if I have to make 21 carousels in 21 days, Marisa."

Firstly, you mean figuratively.

And secondly, this challenge does not expect you to create 21 carousels (although you can).

But, for 21 days it will never be easier to create content, because the ideas are done, the building is done, and you'll have a room full of accountability buddies cheering you on.

(and a coach to kick your butt when you're making excuses 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️)

Imagine

After 21 days of posting, with my coaching in your pocket, my prompts + templates on your feed, and the Dirty Carousel Engine to create it for you… imagine what could happen to…

  • →

    Your Instagram follower count (hit your first 5,000 followers?)

  • →

    Opportunities (podcast DMs in your inbox?)

  • →

    Your leads (inquiries to work with you start coming in regularly again)

…not to mention being able to establish yourself as an industry expert.

The best part about a repeatable strategy is the control I have over my money.

When I want to get another website copy lead?

I know the exact carousel to post.

When I want to make quick cash?

I've got a carousel for that.

When I want to build kudos in the industry so I become that IT girl?

I've got a strategy for that too.

And I'm going to teach it all to you.

What people say about learning with me…

Instagram comment
Instagram comment from @catherinekaybrown: Your carousel course is probably the best social media course I've taken. I've doubled my followers by using your methods, and a very niche carousel I wrote about Dolly Parton's vocal technique reached 273K views! (I'm a singing teacher.)

Email from Kiley York: I am a frequent online course purchaser and this is hands down the best online course I have purchased! Thank You!!

Email from Tom Kelley: I've been watching the replays the last couple of days and am hooked on what you're sharing here. Thanks so much for putting together such well thought out and impressive content!
DM
DM: I'm pretty sure I've purchased or downloaded everything you've sold or released as a freebie. And literally everything has been game changing. Actually things I've read or used rather than just doomscroll past.

Email from Aurelia Lambrechts: Oh my hat! I can't recall the last time I was on a webinar where I actually got valuable information I didn't know at all. THANK YOU.

Built for you

This is for you if… sound familiar?

  • You HATE appearing on camera
  • You want to capitalise on carousels right now
  • You run a small online business and your Instagram isn't pulling its weight
  • You want more followers, but more importantly, more leads and more sales
  • You know you're good at what you do, and you're over watching people with worse offers get more attention
  • You'd rather post one great carousel than 30 forgettable reels
  • You want a method, not a vibe
Honestly

This isn't for you if…

  • You want a "post 3x a day and pray" strategy
  • You're not willing to show any personality (sorry, that's kind of the whole thing)
  • You want someone else to write your carousels for you
What you'll need
  • A paid Claude plan (Pro, about US$20/month, paid to Anthropic, not me)
  • A Mac with Google Chrome (Windows is being tested, I'll confirm by doors open)
  • Canva Pro, only if you want to tweak your carousels in Canva

"How long do I have access?"

"Do I need to be good at design?"

Nope. You'll get templates. Most of my best carousels are a photo and some words. The copy does the heavy lifting.

No. I started this year with 4,000 followers.
