Hey there! Social media engagement is super important for growing your brand and connecting with people. Whether you’re new to this or have been at it for a while, having good social media posts is key. Today, I want to share some social media posts that you can copy and paste into your business to get more engagement.
I’m Brad Smith, owner of AutomationLinks. I’ve been doing social media stuff for 8 years with podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media posts. It’s all about making it personal, sharing stories, and helping others grow online. Let’s get into these ideas!

1. Motivation Monday

Mondays can be tough for a lot of people. That's why sharing something motivating is a great way to start the week. It helps your audience get excited and ready for the days ahead. Sharing a motivational quote or a success story can inspire others and set a positive tone for the week.
Motivational content not only boosts your audience's spirits but also shows that you care about their well-being. It's a simple yet effective way to build engagement and connect with your followers on a personal level. Plus, everyone loves a good pick-me-up to start their week right!

Tips for Motivation Monday:

  • Share a motivational quote with a nice image.
  • Post a short video about a personal success story.
  • Ask your audience to share their goals for the week.
  • Highlight a success story from someone in your community.

2. Testimonial Tuesday

Testimonials are powerful because they show real success stories. Sharing these on Tuesdays can help people see the value of what you do. If you don’t have client testimonials yet, share your own success stories or milestones. Testimonials build trust and show potential customers that others have benefited from your services or products.
Using testimonials can increase your credibility and make your brand more relatable. Personal stories or client feedback highlight how your business has made a positive impact. Make it a habit to ask for feedback and share these stories regularly to build trust and engagement.

Tips for Testimonial Tuesday:

  • Post a client testimonial with their photo (if they’re okay with it).
  • Share a video testimonial from a happy customer.
  • Write a short post about a recent success, even if it’s your own.
  • Encourage customers to leave reviews and share them.

3. Website Wednesday

Wednesdays are perfect for sharing content from your website. This can include blog posts, YouTube videos, or any other resources you have online. It’s a great way to provide value and drive traffic to your website without coming across as too promotional.
Sharing your content helps show you as an authority in your field. It also provides your audience with useful information that they can apply. Be sure to mix up the type of content you share to keep things interesting. Variety keeps your audience engaged and coming back for more.

4. Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday is all about nostalgia and showing your journey. Sharing old photos, videos, or stories from when you first started your business makes your content relatable. It’s a great way to connect on a personal level and show your growth over time.
Posting throwback content can be both entertaining and inspiring for your followers. It simplifies your brand and can help build stronger connections with your followers. Plus, it’s a fun way to reflect on your growth and accomplishments, making your journey relatable to others.

Tips for Throwback Thursday:

  • Share an old photo with a story about your early days.
  • Post a video clip from a past event or project.
  • Talk about lessons learned from past experiences.
  • Highlight how your business has evolved over time.

5. FAQ Friday

FAQ Friday is a great way to address common questions from your audience. By answering frequently asked questions, you provide valuable information and position yourself as an expert in your field. This kind of content is highly engaging because it directly addresses the needs of your audience.
Answering FAQs can help potential customers and clarify any doubts they might have. It also shows that you’re paying attention to their concerns and ready to help. Gather questions from your customers and use them to create informative posts that provide real value.

Tips for FAQ Friday:

  • Post a common question and answer it in a video or text post.
  • Create a series of FAQ posts and highlight one each week.
  • Invite your audience to submit their questions and answer them.
  • Use visual aids like infographics to explain complex answers.

Using these social media post ideas can help you get more engagement and build better connections with your audience. Just keep it simple, make it personal, and be consistent. If you found these tips helpful, check out some other blog posts and join my community for more ideas. Have a good one!
