What Should You Actually Be Posting?

April 23, 20261 min read

This is one of the most common questions I get:

👉 “What should I be posting?”

And the reason people struggle is because they’re trying to reinvent the wheel every week.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need a simple structure.


The 5 content pillars I use with clients

If you rotate through these, you’ll never run out of content.

1. About you

People buy from people.

Share:

• Your story

• Your values

• Behind the scenes


2. Your services

Be clear about what you offer.

Explain:

• What you do

• How it helps

• Who it’s for

3. Your community

Show that you’re active and connected.

This could be:

• Events

• Local businesses

• Networking


4. Proof

Build trust.

Share:

• Client feedback

• Results

• Wins


5. Education

Help people understand what you do.

Break things down simply.

How to use this practically

Instead of guessing what to post:

👉 Choose 3 posts per week

👉 Rotate through these pillars

Example:

• Monday – Education

• Wednesday – About you

• Friday – Services

Simple. Repeatable. Effective.


The mistake to avoid

Posting randomly.

That’s what leads to:

• Inconsistency

• Burnout

• No results


The takeaway

You don’t need more content.

You need better structure.


If you take one thing from this

Keep it simple.

👉 Use the 5 pillars

👉 Stay consistent

👉 Don’t overthink it
