Four Post Examples to Get You Started
Need inspiration? Here are some examples of posts that work well:
Example 1: Sharing Expertise
Instead of: "Need marketing services? Call me at 555-555-5555!"
Try: "What marketing strategies have worked for you? Here are my top five..."
Why it works: Engaging others by asking for their input creates conversation and naturally highlights your expertise.
Example 2: Celebrating Success
Instead of: "Great news! We hit record sales!"
Try: "We just hit record sales! Has anyone else had recent success to celebrate?"
Why it works: Inviting others to share their wins fosters community and generates conversation.
Example 3: Engaging with Members
Instead of: "Check out my website at www.mywebsite.com"
Try: "I just launched my website! Here are some things I learned. Has anyone else built a site from scratch?"
Why it works: Sharing your experience and asking questions creates dialogue, rather than just promoting yourself.
Example 4: Introducing Yourself
Instead of: "Hi, I’m new! Visit my website at www.mywebsite.com"
Try: "Hi, I’m Jacob, a marketing expert from Austin, TX. We’re considering a new CRM—any recommendations?"
Why it works: Highlighting your expertise and seeking advice builds meaningful connections, encouraging more interaction.
