If You Want People to Buy From You, Start Posting Like This
Posting every day.
Staring at the screen.
Trying to be clever.
Trying to sound smart.
Still… no one’s buying.
You’re doing the work. You’re showing up. But the results?
Crickets.
The real reason?
It’s not the algorithm. It’s not your niche. It’s not the platform.
It’s how you’re posting.
If you want people to actually buy from you, there’s one golden rule:
Start posting like you’re already inside their head.
Not selling to them.
Speaking for them.
Solving with them.
This blog will show you exactly how to do that—step by step—with real tactics you can use today.
1. Never Start With Your Offer
Here’s the trap most people fall into:
“I’m offering this service!”
“Here’s my new course!”
“Buy this now!”
Sounds logical, right? But it’s totally backward.
People don’t want what you’re selling.
They want their problem to go away.
If you don’t start there, you’ve already lost them.
Here’s how to reframe your post:
Start with their pain.
Example:
“Feeling stuck with your content strategy?”
“Still can’t break 1,000 followers no matter what you try?”
“You’re posting more than ever—and still getting ignored?”
Now you’ve got their attention. You’ve entered their world.
That’s where sales begin.
2. People Buy What They Can Picture Themselves In
Facts don’t sell. Stories do.
But not just any story—a story they can see themselves in.
You need to show:
Someone with the same struggle
A clear turning point
A believable win
And you need to tell it simply.
Example:
“Before working with us, James was spending hours writing posts that got no engagement. We changed his content format and in 7 days, his reach jumped by 400%.”
Now your audience thinks,
“That sounds like me… maybe this could work for me too.”
Stories turn maybe into tell me more.
Pro Tip: Use screenshots. Use quotes. Use timelines. Make it real.
3. Your Content Has to Do One of Three Things
Every single post should do at least one of these:
Solve a problem
Shift a belief
Show what’s possible
If your post does none of these, it’s noise.
Let’s break them down:
Solve a problem:
“Struggling to come up with post ideas? Here’s a plug-and-play content formula that gets views.”
Shift a belief:
“You don’t need to post daily to grow. You need to post better.”
Show what’s possible:
“This client went from 6 likes per post to landing paid deals through DMs—in 3 weeks.”
You want people to stop scrolling and feel something. A win. A spark. A click in their brain that says,
“Wait… I need this.”
4. Use “You” Way More Than “I”
Scroll through your last 5 posts.
Count how many times you said:
“I”
“Me”
“We”
“Our”
Then count how many times you said:
“You”
“Your”
“Feel”
“Struggling”
“Want”
If it’s mostly about you, it’s no wonder they’re tuning out.
People care about their world, not yours.
You can still share your experience—but always tie it back to them.
Like this:
“When I started, I was posting the same way you probably are. Same tips. Same struggle. But once I changed this one thing, my content exploded.”
Now you’ve taken your story and made it their solution.
5. Give Away So Much Value It Feels Illegal
Want people to buy from you?
Make them think:
“If they’re giving this much away for free… imagine what their paid stuff is like.”
Give real tips. Show real tools. Break down real strategies.
You don’t lose anything by sharing.
You gain:
Trust
Authority
Loyalty
Sales
People buy when they feel like you’ve already helped them—without asking for anything.
Example:
“Here’s the exact 3-line DM I send to book client calls. Copy it. Use it.”
That kind of post gets saved, shared, and remembered.
That kind of post sells—silently.
6. Post the Way You Talk, Not the Way You Think You Should Write
Most people write like robots when they post.
Big words. Complex sentences. Corporate tone.
Nobody connects with that.
Write how you talk.
If you wouldn’t say it out loud, don’t post it.
Instead of:
“We offer comprehensive, end-to-end content strategy solutions…”
Try:
“We help you stop posting and praying—and start posting with purpose.”
Keep it real. Keep it clear. Keep it human.
When your post sounds like a real convo, it sticks.
Need help writing posts that sound like you, not a marketing textbook? Multipost Digital helps you build authentic, conversion-focused content that connects. Let’s talk.
7. Show Up Like You’re Already the Go-To Expert
You don’t need 100K followers to sound like a pro.
You don’t need to wait until you’re “ready.”
You just need to post with certainty.
When you talk like this:
“I think…”
“Maybe this could help…”
“Not sure if this works, but…”
You sound unsure. And people don’t buy from unsure.
Instead:
“Here’s what works.”
“Do this if you want better results.”
“Stop doing this—it’s hurting your growth.”
Lead. Don’t tiptoe.
Confidence builds trust—and trust is what gets people to buy.
8. Let People See the Process (Not Just the Outcome)
Most people only show the “after.”
The win.
The client result.
The shiny screenshot.
But people connect more when you show how you got there.
Start sharing:
Behind-the-scenes steps
Your messy middle
What didn’t work
It builds realness. And realness builds connection.
People don’t trust perfection. They trust progress.
Show it.
At Multipost Digital, we help you build content that tells the whole story—not just the highlight reel. Realness sells. Let’s craft your message the right way.
9. Include a CTA—Every. Single. Time.
Here’s a painful truth:
Most posts get engagement. But zero action.
Because the post ends with nothing.
You must always tell people what to do next.
Not “salesy.” Just clear.
Try:
“Want help with this? DM me.”
“Need this kind of support? Link’s in bio.”
“Like this post if it hit.”
“Comment ‘me’ and I’ll send the free guide.”
No CTA = no direction.
No direction = no sales.
Every post is a chance to move someone one step closer.
Use it.
10. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat
You’re probably sick of saying the same things.
But they’re not sick of hearing it.
Most of your audience is seeing you for the first time. Or they forgot what you said last week. Or they didn’t get it the first time.
That tip you shared a month ago? Share it again—better.
Your best content isn’t boring. It’s baked in.
The brands that grow the fastest are the ones who repeat their core ideas until everyone remembers them.
Find your message. Hammer it.
If you want content that builds brand memory, not just reach, Multipost Digital builds strategic, repeatable frameworks that scale your message. Let’s build yours.
Bottom Line: Post Like a Trusted Advisor, Not a Desperate Seller
People don’t want to be sold to.
They want to be understood. Led. Helped.
So if you want them to buy?
Post like the person they already trust.
Post like the person who gets it.
Post like the person who helps first.
That’s how you win.
And if you’re ready for done-for-you help?
Multipost Digital makes social content that sells—without sounding salesy.
