What to Post When You Have No Idea What to Post

April 28, 2025

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.

Let’s just call it like it is:  Posting consistently is exhausting when you're also running a business, managing clients, trying to drink enough water, AND maybe remembering to call your mom back. So if content creation has felt like one big “ugh, I should be posting but I can’t even with life right now” moment—I see you. The truth is, consistency doesn’t mean constantly . And you don’t need to be glued to your phone, cranking out content 24/7 to grow your business online. You just need a plan that actually fits your life —even on the weeks when your energy is at “girl, I’m surviving off caffeine and vibes” level. So pour a lukewarm coffee (because let’s be real, that’s what we’re working with), and let’s break down how to stay consistent… the lazy girl way.

You ever meet someone online and think, “Omg I LOVE their vibe”… and then you realize you have no idea what they actually do? Or worse—you do know what they offer, but their whole online presence gives “meh” energy instead of “YES, I need this in my life” energy? Yeah. That disconnect? That’s a brand vibe problem, and… it’s more common than you think. Because here’s the truth no one tells you: Your vibe is doing the talking before your content even kicks in . People feel your brand before they read your captions. Your visuals, your voice, your presence—it’s all part of the story. If your brand feels off, unclear, or kind of vanilla, that’s the message your audience is picking up on. And if you’re like, “Wait. Is my brand giving off the wrong vibe??” Keep reading. I’ve got you. 💛

Let’s talk about that moment when you’re staring at a blank Google Doc, sipping your iced coffee, whispering “what the actual heck am I supposed to post today?” 😩 I’ve been there. And not just once. I used to spiral into overthinking mode, creating 17 different drafts of captions that all felt kinda… meh. Too boring. Too vague. Too “what’s the point?” And let’s be real—when your content doesn’t have strategy behind it, you end up burnt out, inconsistent, and wondering why no one’s buying from you. But once I ditched the fluff and started creating content rooted in how people actually make decisions ? Everything changed. More engagement. More leads. More “OMG I feel like you’re in my head” DMs. And today, I’m giving you a peek behind the curtain—because this isn’t just my content strategy… it’s one you can steal and start using today.

A few years ago, I was sitting at my kitchen table with my laptop, a -empty cup of coffee, and a to-do list that felt longer than my toddler’s bedtime routine. I was an entrepreneur — a real one now, with actual paying clients and a brand I was building from scratch. But there was one problem: I was exhausted . I had started my business because I was passionate about what I offered — but somehow, I’d ended up drowning in everything except the work I loved. Writing Instagram captions at midnight. Googling “how to build a sales funnel” while making lunch. Stressing over why my website wasn’t converting (after spending way too much time and money on it). It felt like I had to be the CEO and the marketer and the creative director and the entire social media department — all at once. And the loneliest part? I had no one to bounce ideas off of. No one to say, “Here’s what works — do this instead.” No one to remind me that I wasn’t actually failing, I just needed a strategy.
