Are you feeling stuck when it comes to figuring out what to post on social media? If this is you then don't worry, it happens to the best of us! Coming up with engaging content for your social media platforms can sometimes feel challenging, especially when you’re drawing a blank. But fear not! In this blog post, I’ll share some creative ideas on what to post when you don't know what to say.
10 content ideas to post when you don't know what to say
Share your story
One of the best ways to connect with your audience is by sharing your personal story. Share a little snippet of your journey, how you got started, or an experience that shaped you. Being vulnerable and authentic can help create a deeper connection with your followers.
Behind-the-scenes content
Take your audience behind the scenes and give them a sneak peek into your daily life or work process. Share a photo or video of your workspace, your team, or a project you're working on. This gives your followers a glimpse into your world and makes them feel like they're part of your journey.
Share your thoughts and opinions
Don't be afraid to express your thoughts and opinions on relevant topics. Share your insights, ideas, or perspectives on current events, industry news, or trending topics. However, it’s important to keep your audience and brand values in mind to avoid offending people or causing controversy (unless that’s your goal!).
Ask questions
Engage your audience by asking them questions. They could be on a subject related to your niche or linked to your audience’s preferences or opinions on a certain topic. Encourage them to share their thoughts in the comments to prompt meaningful conversations and boost engagement.
Share user-generated content
Your followers and customers are valuable sources of content. Sharing user-generated content (UGC) not only gives your audience social proof but it shows appreciation to your community. Great examples of UGC include testimonials, reviews, or photos or videos of your followers using your product or service.
Educational content
Share your expertise by providing valuable tips, tutorials, or educational content related to your industry or niche. It could be a how-to video, a step-by-step guide, or a quick tip that helps your audience solve a problem or learn something new.
Inspirational content
Share motivational quotes, inspirational messages, or uplifting stories that resonate with your brand's values or audience. These types of posts can evoke positive emotions and inspire your followers.
Throwback posts
Share a #TBT (Throwback Thursday) or #FlashbackFriday post. It could be a nostalgic moment, a milestone, or a memorable event in your life or business. Throwback posts can be a fun way to reminisce and engage with your audience.
Celebrate holidays or special occasions
Share holiday greetings, seasonal updates, or special promotions related to holidays or events. It's a great way to join the festivities, show your brand's personality, and connect with your audience during special occasions.
Share relevant content
Keep yourself updated with news, articles, or blogs related to your industry or niche, and share them with your audience. You can add your insights, and opinions or start a discussion around the content to provide value to your followers
Time to get writing your next social media posts
So, when you're feeling stuck with social media content, remember to be authentic, engage your audience, and provide value.
