Inspiration for social media posts
30 ideas to add variety to your business social media pages
Your 30-Day Social Media Challenge: Use variety to boost post engagement
Start by picking one idea from the list, in no particular order - these ideas will work on most social media platforms including Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and LinkedIn. Challenge yourself to post at least three times a week and use this list to inspire you to include variety on your social media pages. Including hashtags will help people interested in your content to find you. Make sure to read our tips to avoid some common hashtag fails.
