What to Post When You Have Nothing to Post
We’ve all been there: it’s time to post and… blank. You scroll your camera roll. You check Canva. You stare at the blinking cursor. Still nothing.
Here’s the thing. I don’t believe in “nothing to post.” You just need a go-to list that takes the pressure off. In this post, I’m giving you plug-and-play post ideas you can use any time your brain is fried, plus a little system I use when content creation feels like pulling teeth.
In Today’s Article:
10 easy post ideas you can grab and go
A simple system I use when I’m stuck
How to stay consistent without overthinking it
One mindset shift that changed how I show up
1. 10 Easy Post Ideas That Work Every Time
Use these anytime you’re stuck:
A quick tip: Something you’d text a friend in your industry
Before & after: This could be a transformation, mindset shift, design, or client win
A recent win or milestone: Big or small
A myth or misconception: Bust it
A behind-the-scenes photo or video: Messy desks count
A client quote or review: Screenshots work too
Throwback: An old project, past event, or memory that shaped your biz
“This or That” post: Get people to vote or choose between two things
A day-in-the-life post: Walk people through your day or your process
Something personal: A lesson, a moment, a story
2. My “Stuck” System
When I don’t feel like creating content, I do this:
Step 1: Go back and look at my last 5 posts
Ask: what performed well? What felt good to share?
Step 2: Pick one theme and repeat it
Don’t reinvent the wheel. Most of your audience didn’t see that great post from two months ago.
Step 3: Schedule it immediately
Done is better than perfect. Even if it’s short and simple, showing up matters.
3. How to Stay Consistent Without the Burnout
Batch your content when you’re in the mood (see “How to Batch Create Content (So You’re Not Scrambling at the Last Minute)”)
Keep a running list of post ideas in your Notes app or Notion
Reuse, recycle, and repurpose. One idea = 3+ posts
4. A Mindset Shift That Helped Me
You’re not writing to impress, you're writing to connect.
The posts that get the most engagement usually aren’t the most “perfect.” They’re the ones that feel real. Give yourself permission to keep it simple.
Try This Today
Pick one idea from the list and post it today. Just one. Then take a screenshot of your post and add it to a folder of “go-to content” for next time you’re stuck. That’s how you build a sustainable system that grows with you.
