How to Make Strangers Trust You Online in 3 Posts
Most people think trust takes time.
That it’s built over months, years, endless emails and follow-ups. But not online. Online is faster. Way faster.
With the right words, you can make someone go from, “Who is this?” to “I’d hire them today,” in just three posts.
We’ve seen this happen again and again with small creators, business owners, even complete beginners—once they learn how to structure their message the right way.
Let’s break it down. Step by step. Post by post.
Post 1: Give Away a Golden Nugget
Your first post is like your handshake. It’s your first impression. And it has one job—deliver something useful, fast.
People don’t trust talk. They trust value. So instead of saying “I’m an expert,” you prove it by solving a small problem right away.
This could be:
A copywriting trick that boosts conversions
A simple content hook that gets more likes
A 10-word caption that doubles story views
Here’s what to avoid:
Generic tips like “be consistent” or “engage with your audience.” Everyone says that.
Here’s what to do instead:
Give them something they can use today and see a result tomorrow.
Example Post:
“Here’s the exact post I wrote for a realtor that got her 7 leads in one weekend. Feel free to steal it word-for-word.”
Now that is helpful. No pitch. No fluff. Just immediate value.
When you do this, you’re saying:
“I know what I’m doing. I don’t need to brag. I’ll just help you win right now.”

Post 2: Drop the Proof Like a Mic
If the first post was the “I can help,” this second one is “Here’s proof I already did.”
People are tired of talk. They want proof. So you need to show them real results.
This doesn’t mean you need 100 clients or massive case studies. One small win is enough.
It could be:
A screenshot of a happy customer DM
A before-and-after showing post reach
A video of someone shouting you out
A chart showing a bump in results after applying your advice
Even better? Tie it back to the tip you gave in post one. That way it connects the dots.
Example Post:
“Remember that post I gave away yesterday? Here’s the result it got in 48 hours. 3 leads, 1 new client, and $1,000 earned.”
Short. Sharp. Real.
No proof yet?
Borrow it. Use a stat. Break down someone else’s result. Analyze a public campaign and explain why it worked.
You’re not claiming credit—you’re showing that you understand what works and why.
The goal here is simple:
Make your reader say, “This person isn’t just talking—they actually know their stuff.”
Post 3: Make the Ask, But Keep It Soft
Now that people know you’re helpful… and they’ve seen that your advice actually works… it’s time to invite them to go deeper.
Not a push. Not a pitch. Just an invitation.
The key is to make your offer feel like a next step, not a sale.
Think:
“Want me to help you do the same? DM me the word ‘START’ and I’ll show you how.”
“If you want me to write your next 5 posts for you—like I did for Sarah—my DMs are open.”
Don’t scream. Don’t beg.
Just present a way for them to get results faster, with you doing the heavy lifting.
This is the magic. It’s not salesy. It’s not pushy.
It’s just the natural next step from value and proof.
Now you’ve got:
Credibility (I gave you something that helped)
Trust (I showed it works)
A Path Forward (I can help you directly)
That’s the complete trust stack. All in three simple posts.
What to Do After the 3-Post Stack
This part matters.
Once you run your 3 posts, you don’t stop. You loop them.
That means:
Keep teaching new things (Post 1 again)
Keep showing new wins (Post 2 again)
Keep inviting (Post 3 again)
Over and over. It compounds.
More trust. More leads. More sales.
Here’s a cheat code: You don’t even need to come up with 3 new posts every time. Just remix the originals. Change the example. Use a different angle. Say it in a new way.
Do this weekly, and in 30 days, you’ll look back and wonder why you ever struggled to get clients online.
At Multipost Digital, we turn one idea into 5+ trust-building posts across every platform—Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook. Want us to do it for you? Let’s chat.
Bonus Tip: Trust = Repetition
One more thing—trust grows faster when people see you more than once.
That’s why crossposting matters.
If someone sees your trust-building content on Instagram, then again on LinkedIn, then again in a reel or YouTube short… their brain says, “This person is everywhere. They must be legit.”
You’re not just building trust. You’re building presence.
This is how tiny accounts land $1,000 clients. Not with followers. With visibility + value.
That’s what we do at Multipost Digital.
Want to appear everywhere your audience scrolls—without lifting a finger? We build and run your full content machine. All you do is collect leads. Get started now.
Final Thoughts: Build Trust Once. Use It Forever.
You don’t need years.
You don’t need a giant following.
You don’t need to be famous.
You just need to build one trust stack:
Post 1: Teach something useful
Post 2: Prove it works
Post 3: Invite them to work with you
That’s it.
That’s the engine behind every single high-performing online brand.
And now, it can be yours.
Trust doesn’t take time. It just takes the right system.
Let us help you build yours.
