What to Post When You Feel Stuck


Communities Made Simple

Feeling Stuck?

Don't worry... it happens to all of us at some point.

The game of content creation seems to be never-ending.

Always having to pump out new stuff...

Or do you?

Before I get into it... let me preface it by saying this.

An unfortunate majority of your audience will not see your content the first time you post it.

So what does that mean?

It means learning to repurpose your content is going to be the key to a long-term social media strategy.

The core of the message can remain the same.

Test new hooks.

New formatting.

New angles.

You can extend the shelf-life of your content like that.

Now that that's out of the way...

Let's really get into it.

What can you post when you don't know what to post?

SHARE YOUR STORY

What is your ‘why’

Why did you start your business?

  • Hobby turned into something more?
  • Needed a problem solved?
  • Chasing a dream?

Share the moments that shaped your journey.

People will feel even more connected to you and your business.

That connection will give them another reason to root for you and your success.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES CONTENT

Bring your audience into your world!

  • Show them your workspace.
  • How you pack your orders.
  • How you make your products.

People LOVE seeing the human side of a brand.

It’s a small business hack that’s great for building trust and showing off the love and care you put into all your work.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION

Got a new review, or customer photo of your product?

Share it!

Nothing beats the social proof of other people enjoying your product.

Bonus points if you tag the customer and thank them!

It's a great way to not only show your appreciation, but encourage more reviews too!

TUTORIALS AND HOW-TO'S

Teach them something!

Show them a fun or creative way to use, style or gift your product.

For example, if you sell candles... share tips on setting the ambiance of a room.

Educational content builds value, and positions you as an expert in your niche.

SNEAK PEEKS

Just like behind-the-scenes content, sneak peeks are an opportunity to bring them into your world.

Give your audience a chance to feel like VIPs by giving them an exclusive first look at new products, collections, or updates.

Share photos, videos, or even sketches.

Hype it up! They'll feed on your energy.

When people feel like they're "in the know" they're more likely to stick around.

SEASONAL OR TRENDING CONTENT

Take advantage of the traction and increased search volume!

Whether it's a holiday, major event, or even a fun trend... find ways to make it relevant to your brand.

Not only is it an opportunity to grow your following... but your audience will appreciate the creativity.

POLLS, QUESTIONS, AND CONVERSATION STARTERS

Polls, questions, and conversation starters.

Engage your audience directly.

Ask for their input.

Use polls, questions, and comments to spark conversations.

People love sharing opinions, and engagement boosts your reach!

The best content connects, inspires or educates.

Always remember... done is better than perfect.

Just keep showing up.
