If you’ve ever stared at a blank screen thinking, what on earth do I post? you’re not alone. Starting on social media can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not someone who usually shares a lot. The good news is you don’t need to be an influencer or a content pro to create posts that connect.
You just need to be yourself.
The most powerful posts are the ones that feel real and relatable. They give people a glimpse into your life and let them see the heart behind what you do. The more consistently you show up, the more you’ll build trust.
To help you get started, here are three simple post ideas that can attract interest and start conversations.
1. Why You Said Yes to the Business
This post helps people understand your why. Everyone has a reason for joining, whether it’s the flexibility, the income, the community, or a bigger dream. Share yours in a way that feels honest and personal.
Use this structure to guide your post:
- What your life looked like before
- What made you decide to give this business a go
- What you’re enjoying so far or working toward
Example:
"I was constantly exhausted, juggling work and family, and I felt like there was never any time for me. I said yes to this business for the flexibility and the hope that I could create something that worked around my life. I'm still learning, but it feels good to be building something of my own."

2. A Glimpse Into Your Day
You don’t need a fancy setup or perfect lighting. Everyday moments are what make people feel connected. Whether you’re squeezing in work between school drop-off, heading out for a walk, or mixing your shake in the car, these glimpses show how this business fits into real life.
Ideas to post:
- A quick selfie or story showing how you’re starting your day
- A “here’s what I’m up to” video with a voiceover
- A snapshot of your workspace, even if it’s the kitchen table

3. Share a Win That Isn’t About Products
Celebrate something that has happened since you started your business.
It might be:
- Getting your first customer
- Feeling more confident on camera
- Being able to create your own schedule
- Connecting with a supportive team
- Reaching a small goal you set for yourself
Focus on your personal growth or lifestyle changes that Juice Plus has supported, not product results alone. You might say:
"This week I finally ticked off a goal I’ve had for a long time. It feels so good to prove to myself I can do this, even with a busy life. One step at a time is still progress."

How to Boost Your Social Media Engagement
Posting on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok is one thing. Getting people to stop scrolling and engage is another. These small adjustments can help more people see and respond to your content.
Use a photo or video
- Posts with visuals perform better than plain text
- Even a casual selfie or short clip from your day works better than a text-only post
Write how you speak
- Keep captions conversational and natural
- Short paragraphs are easier to read
- Avoid overthinking your wording
Ask a question at the end
- This helps invite comments and starts conversation
- Try questions like:
-
- Have you ever thought about working online
- Would you rather work from the beach or your bed
- What would more time freedom mean for you
- If you had an extra $200 a week, how would you use it
- What’s your favourite way to take time out for yourself
-
Do you have something you wish you could start but haven’t yet
Be consistent
- Try to post at least a few times each week
- It helps people remember what you do and keeps your business front of mind
Reply to comments and DMs
- Responding to people builds trust
- It also helps boost your visibility on social platforms
Pick one of these post ideas and give it a try this week. You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment. Start small, stay consistent, and keep showing up as yourself.
You’ve got this!
