How to Grow Fast on Social (Even If You Suck at Posting)
Let’s be honest:
Posting feels like a chore. You stare at the blank screen.
Nothing comes.
You scroll instead. You beat yourself up.
You say, “I’ll post tomorrow.”
And tomorrow becomes next week.
Meanwhile, other people are blowing up.
Their posts are everywhere. Their comments are popping. Their DMs? Full.
Here’s the secret they don’t tell you:
Most of them suck too.
They just found a system that works anyway.
So now we’re going to give that system to you.
Step by step. Simple. Repeatable. No “viral hacks.”
Just the kind of stuff that actually grows accounts fast—even if you’ve never posted before.
Let’s dive in.
1. Post Like You Brush Your Teeth
You don’t need motivation to brush your teeth.
You do it every day, without thinking, because it’s a habit.
Your posts? Same idea.
Forget the big creative ideas for now.
Your goal is to turn social posting into a habit first.
Do this:
Choose 3 “go-to” content formats you can repeat (ex: carousels, video tips, quotes)
Build a 5-day repeatable posting schedule
Use a tool like Metricool, Later, or Publer to set them and forget them
This alone will outgrow 90% of your competition—because most people ghost after one post.

2. Every Post Is a Tiny Billboard
You’re not just “posting.” You’re building a brand.
Every post is a micro-ad. A micro-hook. A micro-impression.
One post won’t get you rich. But 100 will.
Here’s how to stack those little wins:
Use the same voice, style, and themes in every post
Mention your product or service at least once every 3-5 posts
Always include a soft CTA (call to action) like: “DM me for the template,” or “Save this for later.”
Pro tip: Your face is the best thumbnail. Posts with faces = more views. Stop hiding.
3. Forget Likes—Watch for Leverage
Let’s make something clear:
The goal isn’t “likes.”
The goal is leverage.
Leverage = DMs. Shares. Sales. Relationships. Collabs. Trust.
Some of the highest-ROI posts don’t get 1,000 likes—they start 1 powerful conversation.
So how do you know a post is working?
People reply to it
Someone re-shares it to their story
You get a DM asking for more info
It sparks discussion in the comments
Track those wins. They matter more than vanity metrics.
4. Talk to One Person, Not Everyone
Most people post like they’re talking to a crowd.
Too broad. Too safe. Too boring.
Instead, talk like you're texting one friend.
Make it personal. Make it punchy.
Example:
“Hey—if you’ve been stuck at 233 followers for 3 months, read this. I was there too.”
Feels different, right?
Speak to someone specific, and that post will hit way more people than trying to talk to “everyone.”
5. Build a “Content Kitchen”
Don’t create from scratch. Create from inventory.
Start your “content kitchen”:
A Google Doc or Notion page full of ideas
Screenshots of posts you love
Stories, tweets, hooks, and lines you hear and like
Templates and old content you can remix
When it’s time to post, you’re not brainstorming. You’re picking a meal from a menu.
This one habit will save you 10+ hours a month. And help you post even when your brain’s fried.

6. DMs > Comments > Views
Here’s how growth actually works:
Someone sees your post (awareness)
They like or comment (interest)
They reply to a story or DM you (trust)
They ask for your help (action)
You don’t need to “go viral.” You just need to move people down that funnel.
Want to speed it up?
Drop CTAs like: “DM me the word GROW if you want help.”
Use polls in Stories to get low-effort engagement
Start convos by replying to people’s comments with questions
Your inbox is your new landing page.
7. Be Loud About One Thing
Pick a single idea you can scream from the rooftops.
Make it your thing. Your brand. Your battle cry.
Example:
“Your brand doesn’t need to go viral—it needs to be visible.”
“Posting every day isn’t optional. It’s the cost of attention.”
Then repeat that idea in 50 different ways.
Because repetition breeds recognition.
And recognition breeds trust.
And trust is what gets people to buy.
8. Don’t Wait to Feel Ready
Spoiler: you’ll never “feel” ready.
Post anyway.
Be messy. Be awkward. Be cringe if you have to.
You’re learning in public. That’s how you build in public.
No one remembers your first 50 posts. But they WILL remember when you start showing up consistently.
Stop trying to look polished.
Start trying to look present.
9. Use One CTA Per Week (Max)
Most people confuse the hell out of their audience:
“Click the link!”
“Save this!”
“Comment below!”
“DM me!”
Too much. Too many choices = no action.
Instead, rotate one clear CTA per week:
Week 1: “DM me for a free guide.”
Week 2: “Save this post.”
Week 3: “Tag someone who needs this.”
Train your audience to do one thing. And they will.
10. Audit Your Feed Like a Stranger
Every 30 days, look at your last 10 posts with fresh eyes.
Ask yourself:
If I landed on this profile right now… would I follow?
Does it scream who I help, how I help, and why they should trust me?
Are there posts that show results, personality, AND expertise?
You want a feed that says: “This person gets it. I want more.”
Delete or archive the ones that don’t hit.
Your feed isn’t a scrapbook. It’s a sales machine.
Final Truth: Volume Wins.
Look… you don’t need to be a creative genius.
You don’t need 10 years of experience.
You just need volume.
Volume = momentum.
Volume = data.
Volume = improvement.
That’s why we say:
Post fast. Fail loud. Learn quick.
You don’t need to get it perfect.
You just need to get it going.
