Staring at a blank screen can be overwhelming for a social media influencer. No matter your niche, you can use one or more of these 7 social media posting ideas whenever you have writer’s block when thinking about your next page update. Playing a casino game can also help you unwind when you have writer’s block. Taking a break from writing and coming back to it at a later time can help you gain new perspective and inspiration.
1. Share a Behind-the-Scenes Glimpse
What has your company or overall personal brand been up to lately? Provide a behind-the-scenes snippet to show followers a project in progress, how you set up your workspace, or even a day in your life to make content more personable. This would be great content to turn into a Facebook or Instagram reel to reinforce engagement with followers.
Example: “Here’s a day in the life of your friendly neighborhood graphic designer!”
2. Post a Customer Testimonial or Success Story
Did one of your customers send in a testimonial for one of your products that made them very happy? Perhaps your brand has achieved a success story that you want to share with your audience. A social media audience loves to hear a positive testimony as it could not only be a hallmark of their day but could also turn them on to consider engaging with your brand in the future.
Example: “We love satisfying our customers! [Insert the testimonial]. Thank you, (name of customer) for being a part of the (company name) family!”
Follow up with a call-to-action phrase for those viewing the post who were your past customers. You can add something like “Did you have a great experience with us? Share it below!”
3. Share Industry Tips or Hacks
Consider what tips or hacks your audience members could use the most about your niche. Recognizing the pain points your audience experiences can help you come up with lesser-known hacks and tips they may have never seen before.
Example: “Are you struggling to keep your home organized? Here’s a tip! Tackle the one task you hate the most first during the day. This will build momentum for you to keep it going!” #ProductivityTips
4. Start a Poll
Audience members could have differing opinions related to your niche. Capitalize on these concepts and create a poll at least once a week to strike up the conversation amongst your followers.
Example: What is the best way you handle procrastination?
- Jump into the task immediately when thinking about it.
- Set a personal deadline on when to complete the task.
- Have someone keep me accountable for it.

5. Celebrate a Milestone or An Achievement
Did you just serve your 1,000th customer within your company? Maybe your brand achieved a new collaboration with another influencer on your main social media handle. No matter the milestone, share it with your followers to get them excited about what’s to come on your page.
Example: “We now have 10,000 followers! Thank you for being a member of this community! Here’s a toast to all of us growing together!”
6. Throwback Post
Did one of your reels from a year ago perform very well? Highlight this reel and celebrate it in a throwback post. Another idea would be for your followers to get to know you more by posting a picture of yourself from your childhood.
Example: “#Throwback from September 2024 when this reel reached 1 million views! Thank you for trusting me to help you with your organizing journey!”
7. Share An Insightful Quote
Sometimes people need an inspirational tidbit to get through their day. Research quotes from famous individuals that can resonate and connect with your niche and speak to your followers.
Example: ‘Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.’ – Winston Churchill.
What’s your favorite quote from a famous individual?
I noticed that the website had a social media section but no articles in it. So this will be their first social media blog.
