How to Get People to Share Your Posts Without Asking Them
You’ve seen it a million times. People begging for shares:
“Please share this!”
“Tag your friends!”
“Send this to someone!”
But guess what?
You don’t need to beg. You don’t need to ask. You just need to build posts that are so good people feel proud to share them.
When you do this right, people will pass your posts around because it makes them look good, not because you told them to.
Let’s break this down and really dig into the details that most people miss.
Make People Feel Smart—They’ll Share to Show Off
Most people don’t share posts for you. They share posts for themselves.
They share to look clever. They share to look like the person who “knew it first.”
They share to boost their own image.
Your job? Make them look smart.
Give them:
Quick facts they can show off
Surprising truths most people don’t know
Simple solutions they can pass along
When people feel like your post makes them look sharp, they won’t just read it—they’ll hit share without thinking twice.
Multipost Digital specializes in creating content that makes your audience feel smart, helpful, and ahead of the game. Want to build that kind of content? Let’s connect.
Trigger Strong Emotions That Travel
Facts get read. Emotions get shared.
When you make people laugh, they’ll share it to spread the joy.
When you make people angry, they’ll share it to start a fight.
When you make people feel inspired, they’ll share it to motivate their friends.
Your posts need to hit people in the gut. Boring posts die. Emotional posts fly.
Here’s how you hit:
Tell true stories that punch people in the heart.
Show real struggles your audience faces.
Use powerful words that cut straight to the point.
Give People Tools They Can Pass On
One of the fastest ways to get shares? Make your post a tool.
People love passing along things that are useful:
Checklists
Step-by-step guides
Quick hacks
Tips that solve annoying problems
When people find something that makes their life easier, they automatically think, “Who else can use this?”
And they pass it on.
At Multipost Digital, we create practical, easy-to-use content that your followers will happily hand to their friends.
If you want to make your posts a useful tool people love to share, we can help you build that system.
Grab Them with Surprising Hooks
The scroll is fast. People need a reason to stop.
You can’t open with a weak line. You need a hook that punches.
Say things like:
“You’ve been lied to about this.”
“What no one tells you about [your topic].”
“Stop doing this. It’s costing you money.”
When you start with a hook that shocks, questions, or flips expectations, people stop scrolling.
And when they stop, they start thinking, “I have to share this. People need to see this.”
Multipost Digital helps you craft sharp, sticky hooks that grab attention and start shares—before you ever ask. Book a call now.
Use Bold Visuals That Make Sharing Easy
Words matter. But visuals? Visuals make posts fly.
If your post looks good, people will want to share it.
If it’s clean, easy to read, and grabs attention—it travels fast.
Here’s what works:
Sharp carousels
Simple infographics
Side-by-side before-and-after photos
Make it easy to screenshot. Make it pop in the feed. Make it so clear that people feel good sharing it.
At Multipost Digital, we design visuals that stop the scroll and make sharing almost automatic.
If you want help building your visual strategy, we’re ready to go.
Speak Directly to Their Identity
People share what matches who they are.
They think:
“This is so me.”
“This is what I believe.”
“This is exactly what I’ve been saying.”
When you post content that lines up with your audience’s identity, they’ll share it like wildfire—because it tells the world, “This is who I am.”
If you speak to moms, make posts that only moms will truly get.
If you speak to entrepreneurs, make posts that hit their daily struggles.
If you speak to athletes, make posts that scream their lifestyle.
Multipost Digital can help you build content that matches your buyer’s identity—so they can’t help but hit share.
Spark Debates That Make People Take Sides
Want shares? Start an argument.
When you post something bold—something that splits the room—people will rush to share it, either to agree or to fight.
This is called a “polarizing post.” It draws a line in the sand.
Example:
“Working weekends is the only way to win. Lazy people won’t make it.”
“If you don’t invest by 25, you’ve already lost the game.”
These posts get people fired up. Some will love you. Some will hate you. Both will share you.
Tell Stories People See Themselves In
Stories don’t just get likes—they travel.
When you tell a story that’s simple, real, and feels familiar, people will see themselves in it.
And when people see themselves in your story, they’ll share it.
Tell stories about:
Small wins
Personal struggles
The moment things clicked for you
Your story doesn’t need to be huge. It just needs to be real.
Multipost Digital helps businesses pull out the stories that matter and build posts that make people say, “This is me. I need to share this.”
Create Quick Wins That Are Shareable Now
Big ideas can be hard to share. But small wins? People love to pass those around.
When your post gives people something they can use today, they’ll want to send it to friends, family, or co-workers right away.
Think:
One-sentence hacks
Simple swaps
Quick mistakes to avoid
The key is speed. Make it simple. Make it doable. Make it useful.
