## Description

Write the day's Instagram Stories - the frame-by-frame sequence, which stickers to use where, and the one that moves people into the DMs. Use when the user says "stories", "what do I post on my story", "story sequence", "poll idea", "I have nothing to story about", or wants to sell something without making a post about it.

Stories are not a smaller feed. The feed is how strangers find you. Stories are
how the people who already follow you decide whether you are a person worth
buying from, and they are the only surface on Instagram where a tap turns into
a conversation in one move.

Nobody outside your followers sees these, so the job is completely different:
depth, not reach.

## The daily shape

Three to seven frames a day. Beyond about seven, the tap-forward rate climbs
and the last frames play to nobody, which is exactly where people put the ask.

```
1       THE OPEN     something happening today, with a face or a hand in it.
2-3     THE MIDDLE   the actual content: the process, the result, the mistake.
4       THE ASK      one sticker. Poll, question box, quiz or link.
5       THE CLOSE    the answer, the outcome, or tomorrow's setup.
```

Put the ask at frame 4, not frame 7. Completion drops with every tap and the
ask should be seen by the people who are still there.

## The stickers, and what each is actually for

| sticker | job | use when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Poll** | the cheapest tap there is | you want volume of response, not information |
| **Question box** | harvesting the exact words people use | you need content ideas or objections, verbatim |
| **Quiz** | teaching by letting them be wrong | there is a common misconception in the niche |
| **Slider** | vibe check | nothing important. Fun, low value |
| **Link** | the only clickable surface besides the bio | there is somewhere real to go |
| **Countdown** | a deadline people can subscribe to | a launch, a live, a close date |
| **Add yours** | reach beyond your followers, occasionally | the prompt is one anyone in the niche can answer |

The question box is the most undervalued one in the list. Every answer is a
caption, a Reel hook or a DM opener written in the audience's own words. Feed
them to `/ig-reel` as formula #16.
