How to make people swipe to the end

• Slide 1 is the hook. A clear, bold promise like “5 ways to make your coffee taste better”.
• One idea per slide. Keep text short and easy to read on a phone.
• Keep the design consistent so it feels like one piece.
• Give a reason to keep going. Number your slides or end each one with a small cliffhanger.
• Finish with a next step. Save this, share with a friend, or follow for more.
