May Social Media Prompts

This article shares 31 May Social Media Prompts to help you show up consistently for your community on the social media platforms of your choice.

While building your community it is important to post engaging content consistently on your social media channels. Each month I share a social media calendar to get you started with engaging content to connect with your followers and build a community of supporters and customers.

It is important to remember when engaging on social media to:

• be your authentic self
• switch up your content type – images, quotes, etc
• cross-promote what you share on your various platforms
• focus on the social media platforms you are most comfortable using first
• planning is good but in the moment shares is great!

Below is a graphic you can save for easy access, or you can bookmark this article to refer to each day. The great thing about these prompts is that you can use them to post on your social media channels – Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat. The list is endless. You can create images, live-streams and even quick video snippets to answer each prompt and encourage your followers to respond back to you with their answers or ideas.
