Copy to Clipboard ## Building a Content Strategy A good content strategy isn't just about posting randomly; it's about guiding your audience through a journey from discovery to trust to purchase. ### The 3 Content Pillars - **Educational/Value (50%):** Teach your audience something new. This establishes your authority and builds trust. - **Entertaining/Relatable (30%):** Show your personality, share memes, or talk about common industry struggles. This builds community. - **Promotional (20%):** Ask for the sale, promote your lead magnet, or share client testimonials. Use DM automation like WilloSend to capture leads on these posts. ## Frequently Asked Questions How often should I post on Instagram? Consistency is more important than frequency. Posting 3-5 times a week consistently is better than posting every day for a week and then disappearing for a month. Quality always beats quantity. What types of content perform best? Currently, short-form video (Reels) performs best for reach and discovering new audiences. Carousels are best for saves and shares (which also boosts algorithm ranking), while single images are good for quick updates to your existing audience. How do I turn an idea into a post? Start with the core idea, choose the best format for it (e.g., a list of tools is great for a Carousel, a quick tip is great for a Reel), write a strong hook, script or design the content, and finish with a clear Call to Action (CTA). ## More Free Tools [ ### Hook Generator Got an idea?
