The middle of the seven-message mix — your results + your client results + the questions that turn followers into a conversation.
The first three message types built the human. Now we add proof — but layered in after trust, never before.
Most accounts get this backwards. They lead with results, no human context — looks like bragging. Or they ask audience questions cold, no relationship — gets crickets. By placing proof in the middle, after the audience already feels like they know you, every result you share lands as confirmation rather than claim.
Your wins. Your clients' wins. Specific. With the story behind them, not just the numbers.
Prompt:
You're going to help me write a Results Share social media post.
The result I want to share: [specific outcome — $ amount, %, timeline, before/after]
Whose result: [me / a client / a student — and which one]
The story behind the result (in 3-5 facts): [what was tried, what failed, what worked]
The non-obvious insight from this result: [one sentence — what other people would miss]
My target audience: [who you want reading this]
Write 3 different variants. Each should:
- Lead with the insight, not the number
- Make the number specific (no "doubled" — say from $X to $Y)
- Show the messy middle, not just the win
- End with a question or invitation to engage, not a pitch
- Be 120-200 words
Avoid: "I'm so proud," "couldn't have done it without," celebration without context.
Caveat: results posts are the one type where authenticity beats polish. Don't make up numbers. Don't post stale wins. If you don't have results yet, share the process of getting them — that becomes a Story post, not a Results post.
You ask something open-ended. The audience answers in comments and DMs. The platform algorithm rewards the engagement. You get to actually have a conversation with the people you're trying to serve.
Prompt:
You're going to help me write a Question-To-Prompt-Audience social media post.
What I want to learn from my audience: [one specific question worth asking]
What I already think the answer is (don't put this in the post — but it informs the question): [one sentence]
The frame that makes this question interesting (a contrarian take, a recent observation, a story snippet): [1-2 sentences]
My target audience: [who you want reading this]
Write 3 different variants. Each should:
- Open with the frame, not the question
- Make the question specific enough to answer in one sentence
- Avoid yes/no questions — go open-ended
- Be 60-120 words (shorter is better for these)
Avoid: "What do you think?" alone. Generic "share your thoughts." Anything that signals you don't actually care about the answer.
The bonus loop: the comments people leave become next week's content. Their language is your post inputs.
This is the part nobody talks about. Question posts aren't just for engagement. They're the cheapest, fastest market research you'll ever do.
Every answer is a quote you can use in:
Run the question prompts often. Save the comments. Mine them.
Action in 10 minutes: Pick a result you've had in the last 90 days (yours or a client's). Run the Results Share prompt. Schedule the winner. Then look at your DMs from the last week — what's the one question that came up the most? That's your next Question post.
