Share a meme related to your niche to kickstart the week
One of the best ways to get people to engage with your content is by sharing something funny or lighthearted. Fun posts get engagement—so why not show off your fun side and share something that either makes you laugh or feels really relatable when it comes to your specific niche as a brand.
Using a meme for a post (especially on a Monday!) can be a great way for you to connect with your audience and brighten their day—it is Monday after all! Memes are also a great way for your audience to recognize that you’re a human behind the screen and not just a faceless brand or business.

Share something you’ve done recently that you’re proud of
Social media is a way for people to show off their accomplishments and what better type of content can you post than an accomplishment on a Monday? Amiright?
Give yourself a digital pat on the back and help inspire others by sharing something that you’re really proud of yourself for accomplishing. Whether that’s finally completing that puzzle you’ve been working on for weeks; finally nailing the recipe you’ve been trying to perfect; or getting a new job—sharing a major milestone in your life will help your followers get a sneak peek into your life but will also feel more connected to you as a whole.
And, an even better post, would be if you shared photos and steps on how you made your dream come true. Show people how something can be done and their goals met if they also take the steps to do just that. Studies have shown that when people share success stories, people are more likely to engage and trust that brand. So go out there and show off your best self!
Share a recipe for a go-to dish you’ve been making recently
Maybe this is just me, but I love it when someone posts a recipe they have been making recently—especially at the start of the week when I am struggling to figure out what groceries I need to buy for the week ahead and what meals I want to cook.
If you’ve been making something that you love recently, share that recipe with your followers. It’s a great way to get them to engage with you and for you to ask your followers about things they have been making recently that they love.

Share a roundup post of things you got up to over the weekend
If you’re struggling to figure out what to post, doing a roundup of your weekend is a great way for you to share more of your life with your audience without the need to make content specifically for your post … because you already have it in your camera roll!
Show a series of photos or a carousel post of things that you got up to over the weekend—the photos don’t have to be aesthetically pleasing (it can honestly just be random selfies if that’s all you have!). This shows your audience that you have a real life outside of social media (that isn’t always the most glamorous!) and makes people want to engage and share what they got up to over the weekend too.
Currently, carousel posts have been getting great engagement on Instagram and it’s easy to see why. They’re easy to consume and fun to flip through.
Share a piece of advice or a quote that helps you motivate yourself back into the workweek
There is a reason that #MotivationMonday is a huge hashtag on all social media accounts. People love to have some motivation to jump-start their week, so why not give them the motivation they want?
Share a quote that you love or a piece of advice you think people should hear that will help define the week ahead for them. You could even tie the advice to a future series where you talk about pieces of advice you were given, wish were given, and more and why you resonate with them.
Host a “Monday Mood” poll
Let’s start the week with a bit of excitement! How about creating a poll to engage your audience and find out how they’re feeling this Monday? You can include a range of emotions from “exhausted” to “excited” and everything in between. This will not only help you connect with your community but also give you insights into the prevailing moods among your audience.
Ask a question to spark a discussion
Looking to spark engaging conversations with your audience? One effective strategy is to ask a thought-provoking question that is relevant to your industry, a current event, or simply serves as a fun icebreaker for a Monday.
For example, if you are a fashion blogger, you could ask your followers to share their favorite fall fashion trends and why they love them. As a travel enthusiast, you might want to prompt your audience to discuss their dream vacation destination and the experiences they hope to have there. This approach can lead to meaningful interactions and valuable insights from your followers.

Share a customer testimonial or success story
Showcasing the positive experiences of your loyal customers is a powerful way to express gratitude and foster trust. Testimonials play a crucial role in building credibility and can serve as a source of inspiration for potential customers. For instance, consider featuring a success story of a customer who has not only benefited from your product or service but has also achieved significant milestones or goals as a result. By sharing such stories, you not only highlight the value of your brand but also demonstrate the real-life impact it has on your customers’ lives.
Announce a flash sale or limited-time offer
Capture your audience’s attention with an irresistible limited-time flash sale! Generate a sense of urgency and anticipation by providing exclusive discounts or special deals. Whether it’s an impromptu “Monday Madness” sale or an electrifying “Cyber Monday” steal, be sure to effectively communicate the time restrictions to encourage swift action from your customers.
Post a sneak peek of upcoming content
Get your audience buzzing with anticipation by giving them a tantalizing preview of what’s on the horizon! Whether it’s a sneak peek of an upcoming blog post that delves into a hot industry topic, a teaser trailer for an innovative video series you’re about to launch, or a glimpse of a groundbreaking new product that’s just around the corner, capturing their attention with a sneak peek will leave them eagerly awaiting what’s next.
Go live and answer audience questions
To establish a stronger connection with your audience, consider hosting a live question and answer session. This interactive event provides an opportunity to engage with your audience, address their inquiries, and demonstrate transparency. Prior to the session, promote the event extensively on your social media platforms to generate interest. Encourage your followers to submit their questions in advance, allowing for a more organized and comprehensive Q&A session.
Feature a user-generated content (UGC) post
One way to engage and empower your audience is by sharing user-generated content such as posts, photos, or artwork that relates to your brand. By showcasing the creative and passionate contributions of your community, you not only foster engagement but also demonstrate the value you place on your customers’ voices and talents.

Run a contest or giveaway
Generate excitement and increase your following by hosting a contest or giveaway. Offering attractive prizes that align with your niche is crucial. Make sure to follow the rules and guidelines of each platform where you plan to host the contest. For example, you could give away a free product or service, or a discount code for your online store.
Additionally, consider creating engaging and visually appealing posts to promote the contest, and clearly communicate the entry requirements and deadlines. Interacting with your audience and encouraging them to share the contest with their friends can also help to increase participation and reach. Implementing influencer marketing strategies can enhance the contest’s visibility and engagement.
Post a behind-the-scenes look at your business
Offer your audience a captivating peek into your world! By showcasing the inner workings of your company, you can foster a strong sense of connection and transparency. Consider sharing a candid photo capturing your dedicated team collaborating on a project, an engaging video providing a glimpse into your intricate manufacturing process, or an immersive virtual tour of your bustling office space. Let your audience experience the essence of your company and the passion behind your work.
Share a positive affirmation or message of encouragement
Spread positive energy and uplift everyone at the beginning of the week by sharing an inspiring affirmation or a message of encouragement. You can choose to post a powerful quote about the significance of perseverance, a heartfelt affirmation promoting self-love, or a message of hope to set the tone for the week ahead. By doing so, you can create a supportive community and foster a sense of togetherness through social media.
FAQ ✨
What other types of content work well for Mondays?
There definitely can be! These are all examples, but to measure the effectiveness of these Monday post ideas, utilize platform-specific analytics tools like Facebook Insights or Flick’s analytics tool. Track metrics such as likes, comments, shares, and overall reach. For instance, if you post a motivational quote, compare its engagement rate with other types of posts to see what resonates best with your audience. Consider A/B testing different content types to refine your strategy further.
How can these Monday post ideas be integrated into a broader weekly or monthly social media strategy?
Integrate Monday social media post ideas into a broader strategy by planning your content calendar in advance. For example, if you post a motivational quote on Monday, follow it up with a related blog post on Tuesday, a mid-week check-in on Wednesday, and so on. This creates a cohesive narrative and keeps your audience engaged throughout the week.
