One of the most challenging parts of social media is creating a constant influx of new and creative content to share. If you’re feeling a little uninspired, you’re not alone!

While churning out exciting and engaging posts can be tedious, they're also essential to building your network and brand loyalty. You’ll develop a loyal following when people want to check in and see what you’re sharing. Luckily, there are some simple strategies to incorporate that will prevent your feeds from feeling stale. Here are our top five tips for keeping your content fresh:

  1. Develop a Weekly Feature- Whether it’s a motivational quote or a quick video update, incorporating weekly features into your social media calendar offers plenty of opportunities for new posts. The best part? While the content may change, the template can stay the same, saving you valuable time. Followers will look forward to these highlights, promoting engagement and a stronger sense of community.
  2. Share Testimonials- Consumers today utilize social media platforms more than ever for business information and reviews. In fact, up to 84 percent of consumers trust online reviews as much as a recommendation from a family member or friend. Capitalize on this by sharing client testimonials and feedback. And don’t be afraid to ask customers to provide a written review you can share- many people are happy to share their thoughts!
  3. Utilize Pinterest for Inspiration- Not everything you share needs to be branded or organically created. Use platforms Pinterest and any other industry-related websites for inspiration, quotes, images, and on-trend topics. Curate the message to reflect your branding, and you’ve got a great source of ready-to-use inspiration at your fingertips.
  4. Revisit Content- Content is meant to be shared and yes, even reshared! Don’t let your most well-received posts end up in social media purgatory. Observe your analytics from time to time to determine what content is trending with followers, then reuse it to your advantage. Also, remember that not everyone sees a post the first time, so the second time may reach new potential customers.
  5. Stay Authentic- Much of what’s published on social media can be scheduled in advance, but there’s also a niche for real-time content. Try hopping on Instagram Live or uploading a video with music to reels. Share a picture of a recent trip you took or feature a local business you support. Whatever you decide, these personal messages are the ideal way to stay connected to the face behind the brand. You’ll create credibility by delivering an authentic message, helping followers feel more connected to your brand.
