Social Media Post Publishing Checklist
🔎 Before Writing (Pre-publishing prep)
Spent 5–10 min engaging with posts in your feed or engagement list
Warmed up the algorithm with recent interactions
✍ Writing the Post
Compelling first line (hook to grab attention)
Clear message & structure (easy to skim, clear takeaway)
Tag relevant people or companies correctly
Hashtags included (3–5 relevant tags)
Visual (image/video/graphic) is clear, typo-free, properly aligned
📣 Before Hitting Publish
Read the first line again — is it strong?
Read the full post out loud — does it flow naturally?
Double-check formatting (line breaks, spacing, emojis, links, CTA)
🚀 After Publishing
Add first comment: company, offer, service, or lead magnet
(Optional) Add second comment: question related to post topic (boosts engagement)
Spend another 5–10 minutes engaging with others' posts to increase post reach
Reply to early comments to keep momentum
✅ Pro tip: After you’ve done this checklist 2–3 times, most steps will become automatic.
