Velvet Africa supports 4 types of content. Each one has a different job. Use all of them — together they build a complete picture of who you are and why someone should subscribe or book you.
🎥 Video (under 60 seconds)
This is your biggest tool. Keep videos short. The platform feeds scroll like TikTok — attention drops fast. A 45-second video showing your most impressive skill beats a 5-minute tutorial every single time. Hook in the first 3 seconds.
📸 Photo
Clean, bright, high contrast. Show the result of your work. Show you in action. Show the experience your clients get. One great photo beats ten average ones.
🖼️ Carousel (multiple photos)
Slide through 3–10 photos. Great for: 'Before and after', 'A day in my life', 'Top 5 spots in Kampala'. Carousels get more engagement because viewers swipe through — more time on your content = more algorithm love.
📝 Text Post
Your thoughts, your story, your value. Write like you talk. A great text post that says something honest and specific about your craft can outperform any photo. Shorter is better. 50–150 words max.
📖 Stories (24 hours only)
Raw, real, in-the-moment. Stories disappear after 24 hours — use them for: 'Just arrived at a new spot', 'Last-minute availability', 'Quick tip of the day'. Stories feel personal. Personal content builds loyalty.
Post at least one piece of content every 2 days. The algorithm rewards consistency. A creator who posts 3 times a week for 3 months will always out-earn a creator who posts 10 times in one week and then disappears.
Do not repost the same content over and over. Each post should show something new — a new skill, a new place, a new idea. Repetitive content makes followers unsubscribe.
Put what you learned into action.
