Not sure what to post on social media for your business? In this blog post, we’re sharing 29 content ideas for social media in a quick and easy to use downloadable calendar. Anyone, in any industry, can use these29 content ideas for social media posts on any platform.
Here are 3 types of content that we recommend:
- Personality content is just like it sounds, personal (maintaining professionalism). Interests, tastes, and style. It gives your communities a glimpse into your life.
- Purposeful content is the content that helps your community and adds value. (Ex, tips, tutorials, how-to info)
- Promotional content is what you sell, or anything related directly to your business. Buy, shop, host, join, visit, click, view, subscribe, watch…these are all promotional for your business, and inviting your community to directly engage in your services or buy your products. Only 20% of the time. Out of 10 posts, only 2 should be promotional
