I am certain there have been more divorces over putting together Ikea furniture than anyone would admit. If you’ve ever tried it yourself, the instructions are complicated, time consuming and for the birds.
Thankfully there are “Ikea Furniture Assembly” folks for hire. Call them up, and they will come and build it. And so I do, and they remove the “Ikea time suck” and frustration and yet I can have the Swedish and Sleek furniture I want.
Want the same quick-fix for your content schedule?
Think of this week’s blog post as your own “build it for you” system for Posting. Because who doesn’t want to get better results from your Facebook Page without spending a lot of time working on it?
This post has the solution for you…
Use this 7-Day Post Formula to get more people to your website and more customers to your business who have cash in hand and are willing to pay you top dollar for your products, programs, and services.
1. Inspiring Quotes: Comb through your previous blogs, articles, videos, courses, white papers, etc. and pull out 20 quotes that can educate, entertain, and inspire. And then use my bff design app WordSwag to create quote posts. Add a sentence above the post to add more personality to it.
2. Share links to your blog content. Instead of simply sharing other people’s posts, authoring content that showcases your expertise goes a long way to securing your market leadership. As a time saver, I design my blog post title images so they will also work as a social media post and then use a post scheduling software, MeetEdgar that allows you to repeat your posts automatically.
3. Use Facebook Live. Connecting with your audience beyond text and opening up to live interaction is one of the most effective ways you can establish yourself as the authority in your niche. You are basically creating your own media channel where you are the star, for free, and reaching a gazillion (scientific fact) people. Plus, Facebook shares your content from Facebook Live with more people for free than any other media. I put together several how-to’s about Facebook Live, but here’s a great one to start with: https://elitedigitalgroup.com/5-facebook-live-content-ideas/.
4. Share Useful Resources. Some of my most popular posts are the ones where I share my favorite marketing and sales books, apps or tools that I use all of the time. People want things that are valuable and will help save them time or make them money, or help them find out about something others don’t know. (We all secretly want to be the smarty pants of our circle!) Include this content in your regular schedule.
5. A Slice of Life. Sharing photos of moments of your life and business allows your Fans to get to know you more and build trust with you. This goes a long way toward getting them to say, “Oh, heck yes!” when you ask them to opt-in to your juicy carrot or hand over their hard-earned cash. The best app for editing photos that all of the young kids use to make their pictures all pretty and such? Facetune.
6. Giveaway. Who doesn’t love a good bribe? (Be honest.) Fans’ engagement will go up if you entice your audience to respond. Ask a trivia question or for feedback and then give a prize to one respondent. I used WordSwag (again!) for the post example below.
7. Pull in Others and Tag Them in the Photos. Whether it is with my team or when I am at an event with others, I try not to miss a chance to snap a picture, share it, and tag others. It not only helps your circle of influence grow your following, but it helps build trust with your audience because they get to see the circle your surround yourself with.

Bloody great post Kim… I’m gonna roll out your 7-Day Post Template.
Thank you!
Great content here for an online marketing newbie (like myself) Kim… thanks!
Awesome Peter! Let me know how it goes!
I’m three days into the seven days… and so far have met the challenge.
The BEST outcome so far is forcing myself to do a Facebook Live video broadcast (just completed).
I followed your advice and made a book recommendation, Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson.

Fantastic Mike! Way to take action!
I’m gonna give you a trick.. this can be considered to be kind of blackhat technique.. I would like to call this grayhat technique.
Step 1.- Get HotSpot Suite Full version here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wbvWU0_rbTWUtawCBhPAVTROXgurovXPKqDLRYdnmmA/
Step 2.- Start HotSpot Suite and login into your facebook account. Facebook will take your connection as a new login with a new IP.
Step 3.- Create your post with any image you have in mind
Step 4.- Turn off HotSpot Suite and go back to your original post and open a secundary tab window with the same post article.
Step 5.- Delete the post article in one tab and re-open HotSpot Suite and do the same thing again on same tab window.
What will happen is that your comment will skyrocket into people from the new IP (for example if you are targeting to promote something in Spain, you choose for a Spain IP) and the best of all is that your comment won’t get ghosted or blocked by Facebook.
Happy targeted traffic my dear
If we are going to the settings of the page on Facebook, we will find a very useful feature. That is “Template”. This feature greatly simplifies the interaction with our page. Using the templates, we add the buttons and tabs we required. It will be easier for us and subscribers.
