70 Ideas for Social Media Posts
What should I post on social media?
This is one of the first questions I get asked when working with someone on their strategy. What should I post on social media? I'll run out of ideas! That is where the 70 Ideas for Social Media Posts idea came from, a way to give you something easy to work with.
With any of these it's important to try and link it back to your business and audience. Something that a client wouldn't expect isn't always the best approach, don't give them a reason to unfollow you.
Can you find a quote that you like and also fits with your industry?
Post to try and keep your name in their mind for all the right reasons, be prepared to respond to the comments you might receive. A quote, video or story might bring up a memory for them and it's important to react in a personal way, this is the chance to build a relationship.
Make sure each of the posts has an image to draw them in or even better a video clip. Having a post of just text will mean they get lost easily. A caption, an image and one of these ideas and you've got a good start. Mix these in with a couple of your own ideas and you've got content for the next 3 months.
