What to Post When You Have No Idea What to Post
You ever open Instagram, stare at the “Create Post” screen, and suddenly forget how to type?
Or worse—you write a full caption and delete the whole thing because it sounds weird, boring, or like… not even you?
Yeah. Been there. Multiple times.
And listen, if you’re feeling stuck or like you’ve already said
everything there is to say—this post is for
you.
Because spoiler alert: you’re not out of ideas.
You just need a little structure (and a lil bestie pep talk).
Let’s get you out of your own head and back into your power, shall we?
Reality Check: Blank Brains Don’t Build Brands
Here’s the thing—content overwhelm isn’t about not having ideas. It’s usually about:
- Trying to be perfect
- Overthinking your messaging
- Not having a plan or theme to follow
- Feeling like no one’s listening anyway
So instead of posting, you freeze.
Or doom-scroll.
Or reorganize your Canva folders for the 9th time instead of showing up. (Guilty.)
But the truth is:
you have
so much to say.
You just need a few go-to prompts to help you say it without spiraling. Let’s make that happen.
The Breakdown: 5 Posts to Create When You Feel Completely Blank
These are my go-to content starters when my brain says “no thoughts, just vibes.”
Answer a Question You Get All the Time
This one’s easy. What’s something people always ask you in the DMs, in consults, or even in real life?
Turn that into a post.
“One question I get all the time is…”
“Here’s how I explain [thing you do] to my clients…”
You’re already saying it—now just post it.
Share a Recent Win or Client Story
Social proof is powerful, but it doesn’t have to be a formal testimonial. Just talk about a win or transformation and what it says about your process.
Add a reframe or teaching moment:
“This win wasn’t just about [result]—it was about [lesson].”
Bonus points for storytelling. People remember
stories, not stats.
Bust a Myth or Call Out a Common Mistake
There is so much fluff out there. Your audience is overwhelmed with information—and they’ll love you for being the one who keeps it real.
Try this:
“Most people think they need to [X], but what actually matters is [Y].”
“Here’s why I stopped doing [trendy thing] and what I do instead.”
This type of post builds trust
fast.
Talk About Your Why
Why do you do what you do? Why does your offer exist? Why does it matter to you?
You don’t have to be super deep or dramatic—just be real. People connect with purpose.
✨ Try this:
“I created this offer because I was sick of seeing…”
“Here’s what drives me to keep showing up…”
The right people will
feel it—and that’s the point.
Share a Lazy Tip (That’s Still Genius)
Not every post has to be a full-blown strategy. Sometimes the simple stuff is the most helpful.
✨ Try this:
“Here’s one thing you can do today to make content easier…”
“My lazy trick for staying consistent? This 👇”
Share what’s
actually helping you right now. It’s relatable
and valuable.
