Social media is all about building connections. Sometimes as entrepreneurs we might get caught up in pushing sales and posting offers a bit to much. It’s important to not push to much, being social is what the platform is all about. If you’re anything like me, socializing might induce major anxiety & stress, so I’ve put together a master list of fun posts the don’t trigger my anxiety & keep socializing fun and easy!

I’ve put together a massive list of over 100 posts you can easily turn into branded images in simple graphic editors like Canva. Personally I use the Adobe suite for professional editing as a designer. You don’t have to use Photoshop these days. If you like my graphics, check out Adobe Spark, it’s a phone app that makes creating these images a snap. I made 300 images in less than 2 hours! Please note I did not come up with this list on my own. It’s a compilation of posts people use on Facebook that I did see working & lists others have shared & I’ve tested. They work for my audience & get conversations started fabulously! Most of these came from this blog. If you know any other great resources on this topic please share them in the comments!

If your friends list is mostly moms, more posts like Which is worse to step on: Legos or Cars would likely do MUCH better than what I ask my audience. I ask things like What’s more annoying, ugly fonts or low quality graphics?
