Do you ever stare at a blank screen and wonder “what should I post to Instagram today?”
It’s happened to all of us, so we are sharing 31 social media prompts.

Whether you need to be a little more authentic, or add some fun to your feed.

We’ve got you covered!

With the shift in social media heading towards more genuine interactions, it can be a struggle to make that connection with your audience.

These 31 social media prompts are a good starting point.

Pick one (or two, or ten) and share from the heart with your audience.

Share your story in a way that others can connect with.

Write like you talk. Use words and sayings you would use when hanging out with a friend over coffee.

Here are some examples:

29. You can usually find me rooting for (insert appropriate sports team)

If I’m being honest, I don’t really have team I root for (shameful, I know).
But my handsome hubby loves the Washington Redskins, so they’re the team I’ve adopted as my own.
Plus, it doesn’t hurt to show a little home-team pride!

What is your favorite football team?

4. What I would tell my 5th grade self

Life is too short to be serious all the time.

That’s a personal mantra, and something I wish I could go back and realize sooner.

(because, for real, it’s all small stuff)

What is something you wish you could have told your younger self?

So you can see, I’ve shared something personal (to give my audience something to connect with), and then given them a call to action (asking them to comment with a shared experience/opinion).

What is something you’ve shared that has worked in your business?
