How To Write Useful Posts

Are you sick and weary of Instagram coaches advising you to add “worth” to your posts without ever clarifying what that means?

  • You may be wondering, “How can I generate value?”
  • How can I tell what is worth and what isn’t?
  • What in the world is the value even for?
  • Be at ease; I’ve got you!

Everyone has a distinct definition of value, thus you need to be aware of who they are:

  • WHAT DO THEY DO?
  • WHAT CONTENT DOES SHE CONSUME AND FIND VALUE IN

WHAT DO THEY DO?

CHECK YOURSELF WITH THESE QUESTIONS.

  • What is their age?
  • How do they behave?
  • What do they find interesting?
  • What challenges do they face?
  • Where can I locate them on the web?

WHICH THEY EAT

HOW DO THEY LIKE TO CONSUME CONTENT ON INSTAGRAM?

  • Shirt-like microcontent
  • only one post?
  • Reels?
  • extended videos?
  • Long-form macro content
  • Carousels?
  • Stories?
  • Guides?

AREN’T YOU CREATING THAT?

WHAT DO THEY CONSIDER IMPORTANT?

Value may be communicated in a variety of ways. We include a few of them in our “CEEMII” model; consider which value type would be most appropriate for your target market:

  • Controversial
  • Educational
  • Entertaining
  • Motivational
  • Instructional
  • Inspirational
