Want some ideas on what to post on Facebook?

Starting today, every Tuesday I'll pick an industry/niche and create a posting schedule with suggested content/captions.

Feel free to use it ...

Let's start with a week's Facebook posting schedule for a small accounting firm. The aim is to balance engagement, education, and brand trust while keeping content digestible and client-focused.

Monday: Money Tip Monday
💡 Post Idea: Share a short, actionable financial tip, tax-saving hack, or budgeting strategy.
📌 Example:
"💰 Money Tip Monday: Did you know you can claim up to £1,000 in tax-free income from a side hustle thanks to the Trading Allowance? Perfect for those with a small Etsy shop or part-time freelancing gig!"
👉 CTA: Drop a 💰 in the comments if you’d like more tax tips! (then send them a link to your mailing list)

Tuesday: Myth-Busting or FAQs (Engagement & Expertise)
💡 Post Idea: Bust a common accounting myth or answer a frequently asked question.
📌 Example:
"Myth or Fact? ‘You don’t need to file a tax return if you earn under £12,570.’ 🤔 WRONG! If you're self-employed, you still need to file, even if you don’t owe tax. Need help? We’ve got you!"
👉 CTA: Ask us anything in the comments!

Wednesday: Behind the Scenes / Team Feature (Personal & Brand Building)
💡 Post Idea: Show a glimpse of your team, a workday, or a client success story.
📌 Example:
"Meet Sarah, our payroll wizard! 🌟 She’s been helping small businesses pay their teams on time EVERY Time for over 10 years. Her top tip? ‘Automate where you can because payroll errors cost time AND money!’ 💼💸"
👉 CTA: Give Sarah a 👏 in the comments!

Thursday: Quick Explainer / ‘Did You Know?’ (Educational & Engagement)
💡 Post Idea: Explain a key accounting concept in plain English.
📌 Example:
"Did you know? You can claim tax relief on work-from-home expenses, even as a sole trader! Rent, Wi-Fi, and even your coffee can be partially deductible. ☕🏡
👉 CTA: Want a full list of what you can claim? Drop a ‘PLEASE’ below!" [Obvs you're going to have to ACTUALLY create this list, either as downloadable PDF or a blog post on your website you can link to]

Friday: Fun Post / Meme / Relatable Content (Engagement & Visibility)
💡 Post Idea: Share a relatable accounting meme, funny quote, or lighthearted take on tax season.
📌 Example:
"Me: ‘I’ll file my tax return early this year.’
Also me on Jan 30th: 😬💀💻
👉 CTA: Tag a friend who’s ‘that person’ every year!"

Saturday: Client Spotlight / Testimonial (Social Proof & Trust-Building)
💡 Post Idea: Showcase a happy client, a case study, or a before/after financial improvement story.
📌 Example:
"‘I used to spend HOURS stressing over VAT returns. Now, thanks to [Your Name], I just send them my invoices, and they handle the rest!’ – John, eCommerce Business Owner 🏪💼
👉 CTA: Want the same stress-free accounting? Message us today!"

Sunday: Share a Useful Tool / News Update (Value-Driven & Thought Leadership)
💡 Post Idea: Share a free tool, industry news, or an upcoming tax deadline reminder.
📌 Example:
"🚨 Reminder: The tax year ends on April 5th! That means now is the time to check if you’ve used all your allowances. Need help? Let’s chat! 💬"

I’ll be honest—when I first started posting on Threads, I wasn’t expecting much. It’s a new-ish platform, engagement can be hit or miss, and like a lot of small business owners, I didn’t want to waste time shouting into the void.

But here’s the thing… I decided to take my own advice.

🔥 I used Content Crate to plan my posts.
🔥 I focused on engagement-first content.
🔥 And within a month, I was getting over 35,000 views!

No crazy posting schedule. No spending hours brainstorming ideas. Just consistently using content prompts that spark conversation.

Here’s what worked:

✅ Posting simple, engaging questions (people love to share their opinions).
✅ Dropping relatable, no-BS statements (content that makes people say, “YES, THIS!”).
✅ Sticking to consistency over perfection (done > perfect every time).

And the best part? This wasn’t a fluke - it’s exactly what I built Content Crate to do.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure what to post, or just tired of spending hours on content, grab the Content Crate and start seeing results for yourself.

Are you ready to show up consistently online but finding it impossible to keep up with the daily demands of content creation, posting, and engagement?

The reality is, effective content management takes time and a strategic approach—but that doesn’t mean you have to do it all yourself.

Everyone thinks they're a social media expert.

Social managers deal with this daily—someone from accounting suddenly feels inspired by TikTok trends. 🙄

But the real magic? Knowing when to politely nod, smile, and completely ignore that unsolicited "viral" idea.

Your feed isn’t just for laughs—it’s about building trust and creating meaningful connections.

Next time someone outside the team pitches a meme, gently remind them:

"Likes fade. Loyalty sticks."

CEO pep talks as a soloprenuer?

People think "more content = more reach," but that can actually kill your visibility.

Facebook prioritises quality over quantity—if a post flops, your next one will suffer.

💡 Hack: Instead of posting daily, focus on high-value posts 2-3 times a week. Test different formats:

✅ Text-based posts (Facebook LOVES these)
✅ Native video (not links to YouTube)
✅ Polls and carousels

If your social media feels like a chore, you’re doing it wrong

If you want REALLY high engagement on , ask about paint combinations, for bonus engagement add a photo.

Oh and grow thick skin to survive the onslaught of people yelling you you're colour blind, have no taste, and everything should just be painted white 🤷🏼‍♀️

Everyone assumes you have to spend a fortune on Facebook Ads, but targeting warm audiences (people who’ve engaged with you before) is way cheaper than cold outreach.

💡 Hack: Instead of running ads to strangers, create a re-targeting ad aimed at people who’ve:

📼 Watched your videos
🫂 Engaged with past posts
🔗 Visited your website

These ads convert faster and cheaper than going after new people.

Social Media Metrics to Track

📊 Engagement Rates – Likes, comments, shares, and saves show how interactive your audience is.

👥 Follower Growth – A steady increase in followers suggests your content is attracting the right people.

🔗 Click-Through Rate (CTR) – Measures how many people click your links (e.g., bio links, post links).

https://contentcrate.co.uk/blog/articles/metrics

📈 Reach & Impressions – Reach is the number of unique users who see your content, while impressions count total views.

⏳ Watch Time & Video Retention – For reels, TikToks, and YouTube, longer watch times = better performance.

💬 Direct Messages & Mentions – Shows how often people engage with you beyond public interactions.

📌 Saves & Shares – Indicators that your content is valuable and worth revisiting or spreading.

17/03/2025

Not every post will be a hit, and that’s fine! Metrics help you spot trends—what type of content gets the most likes, comments, and shares? What flops? You can double down on what works and ditch what doesn’t.

Your customers are your best marketers. Share their testimonials, reviews, or content featuring your product or service. It builds trust, boosts engagement, and saves you from having to create something from scratch.

15/03/2025

Tracking community and brand awareness metrics (like mentions, shares, and user-generated content) helps you see if people are talking about you, engaging with your brand, and spreading the word. The more visible and memorable your brand is, the easier it becomes to attract new customers and build trust.

🗣 Brand Mentions – How often is your brand name popping up online?

📝 Customer Feedback & Reviews – What people say about your content or brand.

🙋 User-Generated Content – How often people create content around your brand.

One of the best ways to market your home business is by expanding your network.

Consider who your ideal customers are and find ways to connect with them.

📣 This could mean attending networking events, joining local business groups, or even engaging in online communities related to your industry.
📣Talk about your business with friends, family, and new acquaintances—but always in a natural, conversational way.
📣 Online forums and social media groups can also be great places to meet potential clients, but be careful not to spam.
