How to Use the Sooo Ready Carousel, SPAM Trend, and More Instagram Trends (Trends for June: Week 2)
Five Instagram trends just dropped inside Your Template Club for the second week of June, and I have to be honest, I am genuinely excited about this pack.
Every once in a while a Trend Drop comes together where every single template has a clear purpose and a clear audience. This is one of those weeks. We have a carousel that builds hype, a search bar post that shows off your brand personality, a Reel format that every creator immediately gets, a hilarious acronym trend that is very specifically for us, and a card flip that is just really fun to make your own.
Five trends. All of them early enough to post now and still get traction. Let me walk you through each one, what it is, why it is working, and how to actually use it for your business.

Trend One: I Am Sooooo Ready Carousel
This one is so simple I almost cannot believe how well it works. The format stretches the phrase "I am soooooo ready for..." across multiple swipeable slides, with the "oooo" carrying people from one slide to the next before the punchline lands at the end.
The reason it works is the scroll mechanic. You are not asking people to swipe out of curiosity or obligation. The incomplete word creates a tiny loop in their brain that says "I need to see how that ends." That is a genuine psychological pull, and it works every time.
For your business, you can use this to build anticipation around a launch, a season, a new offer, a live event, or even something your audience is collectively looking forward to, like summer or a sold-out item coming back in stock. I used it to announce The Reelies and it landed really well, even though I posted it at a rough time of day. The format did the heavy lifting.
One design note: the font is intentional and matched to the Advercase font that is everywhere on Instagram right now. Canva does not have that exact font, but the one in the template is the closest match and it looks really clean. Keep it as-is. If you change the font, the alignment breaks because different fonts render at different sizes inside the same text box. Also make sure you add your handle on every single page, not just the first one.
If you want to add more slides to the middle for extra photos or moments, you can do that easily. Just do not accidentally move the text placement while you are editing. The only text that really needs to change is on the last slide.
Trend Two: “What The Algorithm” Prefers Reel
This one is a Reel format and it is resonating like crazy right now because it hits a truth that every single creator and business owner feels but rarely says out loud.
The format is: "Seeing if the algorithm prefers this video I spent three hours editing or this video of me just standing here."
That is it. Record yourself not moving. Post it. Put the text on screen. Watch people tag everyone they know.
It works because it is the most relatable frustration in content creation. You obsess over a video, the lighting, the transitions, the hook, the B-roll, and then a casual nothing video takes off. Your audience knows that feeling. Your audience IS that feeling. And content that makes people feel genuinely seen gets shared.
Even if you do not have footage of yourself from a longer edit, you can literally record yourself standing still right now and it counts. The whole point is that the "unedited" version requires zero effort. That is the joke.
If you want to post this trend soon, this is the one to prioritize this week. It is gaining momentum fast.
Trend Three: The Only +4 Trend
If you have ever played Uno, you know the plus four card is the most dramatic, most chaotic move in the game. This trend flips it into something personal and playful: "The only plus four I will take" followed by four things that are your actual favorites or your non-negotiables.
It could be your go-to camera setup, your favorite drink while you are editing, a membership you love, a tool you cannot live without, a snack, a show you put on in the background, anything that feels true to you and your brand.
What makes this one work is that it is personal without being heavy. It is not a deep caption. It is not a lesson. It is just a fun, visual peek into your world that makes people feel like they know you a little better. And the more specific your picks are, the more it resonates. Generic favorites are forgettable. Specific ones are the kind of thing your audience sends each other saying "this is so her."
To customize the template, you will swap out the images inside using cutout photos. In Canva, go to the photos section, search for whatever you want to feature, and look for images that are already on a transparent background or that Canva can easily cut out. Once you find one you like, you can resize it, drop it into the card spot, and adjust the background color if needed. If you want the background to read clearly, go a shade darker than your lightest brand color. The goal is contrast so everything is readable at phone size.
Trend Four: Search 3D Emoji
This one is a quick personality play that doubles as a brand awareness post. The format puts your business name in a search bar graphic surrounded by 3D emojis that represent your vibe, your offers, or what your brand is all about.
The idea is that when someone sees it, they get a feel for your brand in about two seconds. And ideally, they actually go look you up. It is a soft CTA disguised as a fun visual.
To customize it, you will swap out the 3D emojis with ones that fit your brand. In Canva, you search "3D emojis" in the elements panel and you will find a ton of options. If you are looking for something specific, like a laptop or a phone, type the emoji name plus "3D emoji" into the search bar and browse from there. Some will be easier to find than others, so if you hit a wall, try starting a fresh search from scratch instead of building on a search that is not giving you what you want.
If you do not have a logo for the search bar, your business name or your handle works perfectly. You can also replace the logo spot with another emoji if that fits better. The goal is just to make it feel like yours.
For colors, the template is mimicking the look of an actual phone keyboard, so you do not need to change the whole color palette. If you want to adjust anything, go with your lightest brand color and keep the text dark enough to read. The post is mostly about the emojis and the vibe, not the brand color match.
Trend Five: Women in
Okay, this is my personal favorite from this pack and I think you are going to get it immediately.
SPAM stands for social media, PR, advertising, and marketing. It is a term that has been floating around our industry for a while, and recently it became a thing online where women in these fields started owning the label. The trend went places.
So I made our own version, which flips the acronym into the chaotic, hilarious reality of running your content. Instead of the official definition, we have:
S as in Saving something for later that I will never actually post.
P as in Posting for an algorithm that might not even care.
A as in Acting like I have a content calendar when I absolutely do not.
M as in Making content for an algorithm that honestly might hate me.
You can change any of these to better fit your niche and your audience. The point is that each letter should reflect something your people actually do or say or feel about their own content. The more accurate and slightly unhinged it sounds, the better it lands.
This format is shareable in the best way. Your audience is going to send it to every person they know who does marketing, social media, or content. That is exactly what you want.
Why These Five Trends Work Together
One of the things I think about every time we build a Trend Drop is making sure the pack covers different goals, because no business needs five of the same type of post in one week.This week, here is what you have:
The Sooo Ready carousel is your hype and launch tool.
The Search Bar post is a brand awareness play that encourages people to actually find you.
The Algorithm Prefers Reel is your relatability and shareability moment.
The SPAM trend is your community humor post that gets tagged and saved.
And the Uno Plus Four is your personal, get-to-know-me content that builds real connection.
Together, you have a week of variety that covers reach, trust, and engagement without having to figure out from scratch what each post is supposed to do. The strategy is already baked in.
That is the whole idea behind Trend Drops. Instagram moves fast. A format that is fresh and getting traction today can feel old in two or three weeks. When we spot something gaining momentum, we build the template and get it into the club while the timing is still right, so you can post early and get more reach before everyone else catches on.
If you are already inside Your Template Club, log in and grab this pack. If you have been thinking about joining, this week is a great time to see exactly what you get with every Trend Drop.
