Ten Social Media Post Types:
Which positively impact success.
There are many others of course-
But these are 10 keys as I see it.
So lets talk about all of them.
1. Problem-Solution Post Structure:
This first post type details a common pain point, then offers a quick, actionable solution.
Example: Struggling with productivity?
'Here are 3 easy steps to get more done in less time.'
Of course this only works when providing real value.
2. Behind-the-Scenes Structure:
Another post type people love is when you show a sneak peek of your process, or development.
Example: "Here’s a look at our team putting the final touches on X. We can’t wait to share it with you soon!
Building connection and intrigue also.
3. Customer Testimonial Highlight:
A post sharing customer quotes or success stories, will also never go out of fashion.
Example: "‘[Customer quote]’ - Thanks to [Customer’s Name]! We’re thrilled to be part of your journey! 🌟
Impact: Social proof builds trust in your brand.
4. Question of the Day:
I also like the structure of asking a question that encourages engagement and conversation.
Example: "What's your go-to productivity hack? Drop it below 👇 and help each other level up!
Impact: Drives engagement and followers feel heard.
5. Educational Tip or Mini-Guide Post:
A post containing a "how-to" in a bite-sized format.
Sharing exactly what worked for you. For example.
'Ways I Captured Attention By Posting When My Audience Was Most Active.'
Facts: Demonstrating expertise gathers interest fast.
6. Throwback Post Structure:
Sharing a milestone, memory, or progress shot works.
Example: "This was our setup three years ago... Look how far we've come! 💪
The impact of doing this adds personality and depth, showcasing progress and brand authenticity.
7. Quick Poll Structure:
This post type uses polls to invite followers opinions.
Example: "What’s your biggest challenge with time management? A) Planning B) Motivation C) Focusing
Increasing engagement with an interactive question shows you care about followers' opinions.
8. Product Feature Highlight Structure:
Showcasing a specific feature or benefit of your product/service.
But keep the focus on user need not a spec sheet!
A post which Informs and educates, subtly intriguing potential customers to learn more.
9. User-Generated Content Share:
Reposting a feature, follower’s post, story, or review.
Example: "Shoutout to [User’s Handle] for this amazing shot of our [Product]!
Builds community and fosters connection, as followers see you appreciate and value them.
10. Motivational Mindset Inspiration:
Sharing a short, powerful quote that resonates with your audience works too.
"‘Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.’ – Winston Churchill
Impact: Creates positive and inspiring touchpoints.
11. To Conclude:
Each and every one of these Post types can work well.
But none of them will, without your own unique input:
Personality, perspective and empathetic connections.
To help serve your clients or customers even better.
