What to Post When You Have Nothing to Post and Your Feed is Dead
So you opened your app, stared at your empty feed, and thought, “I’ve got nothing.”
No ideas. No photos. No “hot takes.” Just digital tumbleweeds rolling through your profile.
Here’s the truth: content silence kills momentum.
But we’ve got you.
This isn’t about magic. It’s about systems—and we’re about to show you exactly what to post when your brain is fried, your calendar’s empty, and your audience forgot you exist.
Let’s resurrect your feed.
1. Post a Simple Question They Can’t Ignore
People want to talk. You just need to give them a doorway.
Ask something short, emotional, or weirdly specific:
“What’s one lesson you had to learn the hard way?”
“If you had to delete every app except one, what are you keeping?”
“What’s one rule in your industry that makes zero sense?”
This isn’t about going viral—it’s about stirring up real comments and engagement with zero prep.
Just pick a pain point or curiosity hook, then ask.

2. Share an Old Win (Even if It’s Small)
Got no new results to post? No problem.
Use your old stuff.
Think of a time something worked for you, even if it was tiny:
A client you helped
A problem you solved
A result you got from trial and error
Then post the story. Frame it like:
“This one small thing brought in 3 new clients when I had no clue what I was doing. Here’s exactly what I did…”
You're not bragging. You're showing your audience what’s possible—even from a place of zero.
Old results still spark new trust.
3. Post a Screenshot or Conversation
Stop overthinking “design.”
Some of the most viral content is just a screenshot.
It could be:
A DM from a happy client
A tweet you wrote that popped off
A convo where you solved a problem
Crop it, post it, and add a quick line of text for context:
“Here’s the exact message that turned a cold lead into a $1,200 client.”
This is proof in its rawest form. It’s relatable. It’s fast.
And it WORKS.

4. Teach One Tiny Tactic
Forget big tutorials.
Just teach one small move.
Like:
“Here’s how I write headlines that get 3x more clicks.”
“The DM opener that actually gets replies.”
“This Canva trick saves me 15 minutes per post.”
You’re not writing a novel. You’re being useful.
And useful = shareable.
Short how-to posts show authority without looking like you’re trying too hard.
Write like you're texting a friend. Keep it simple. Make it save-worthy.
5. Give a Hot Take on Something Everyone’s Talking About
You’re scrolling. You see everyone posting about the same thing.
That’s your opening.
Post a strong, quick opinion:
“Everyone’s doing [trendy thing]—but here’s what they’re missing…”
Or flip the trend on its head:
“Everyone’s praising this tool. I used it. Here’s the real deal…”
Use current buzz to stay relevant.
Even better: if you disagree, say so (with a good reason). People love that.
You don’t need to break the news. You just need to say something real about it.
6. Post a Personal Truth That Scared You to Share
This isn’t therapy.
But people connect with truth.
Think of something you once hid or were afraid to admit:
You almost quit your business
You made a bad hire
You struggled with something everyone thinks is “easy”
Tell that story.
End with what you learned and how it changed you.
People stop scrolling when they feel something.
Vulnerability—done with purpose—can revive a feed and build deeper trust than any tip ever could.

7. Drop a “Behind the Scenes” Breakdown
Show what most people never see.
You can post:
Your workspace setup
How you prep your content
Your daily routine
Your actual calendar for the week
Doesn’t have to be fancy. Just real.
The messier, the better.
People love seeing the real stuff behind polished brands.
It makes you human. It builds trust.
Next time you’re working—snap a photo.
Write one sentence about what you’re doing and why.
That’s a post.
8. Curate Content (So You Don’t Have to Create It)
No new ideas? Borrow some.
Post a:
Book recommendation
Tweet that made you think
Podcast episode you loved
Industry news article + your reaction
Just add one paragraph: “Here’s why this hit me…”
Now you're adding value without starting from scratch.
Curation positions you as a thought leader.
It’s fast. It’s easy. It’s powerful.
And it keeps your feed alive, even when your brain is dead.
9. Show a “You vs. You” Moment
Don’t have client results?
Post your growth.
Pull up an old screenshot, post, offer, or headshot—then show where you are now.
Format it like:
“This was me in 2021. No idea what I was doing.
This is me now. Still figuring it out—but way further along.”
That contrast is gold.
It inspires people, earns respect, and makes people want to root for you.
Progress > perfection.
10. Make a Bold Claim (Then Back It Up)
This is the “snap them out of the scroll” move.
Make a bold statement:
“I think 99% of coaches are doing social media wrong.”
“You don’t need a personal brand to make six figures.”
“Posting daily is not the answer to growth.”
Then explain why. Add proof. Add perspective.
Challenge assumptions—without being a jerk.
This forces attention. It builds thought leadership.
And best of all—it gives your audience something to think about.
Final Word: You’re Never Out of Content. Just Out of Structure.
When your feed is dead, it’s not because you ran out of ideas.
It’s because you don’t have a system that keeps them flowing.
These 10 types of posts work even when you feel stuck.
Rotate through them. Mix and match.
You’ll never run dry again.
