Free exercise · No email required

Plan your first week of social posts.

You do not need a viral idea. Start with three customer questions, three verified facts, and one clear next step. This exercise produces three drafts to review—not automatic posts.

Your 30-minute outcome: a question-answer post, a process post, and a timely offer or availability post. Choose a cadence you can sustain; three posts is an example, not a platform rule.

1. Gather the facts

Write down your current hours, location or service area, one confirmed offer, the correct destination link, and three questions customers actually ask. Choose approved photos or video. Keep customer names, private messages, and order details out of the AI prompt unless you have permission and a suitable data-processing arrangement.

2. Draft three posts

Post 1 · Answer
Open with the answer to your most common question. Give one useful detail and a gentle next step.

Post 2 · Show
Explain one real step in your process. Use an image or clip you own or may use.

Post 3 · Invite
Explain the current offer or availability with the exact terms, dates, exclusions, and link. If any are unknown, do not publish the claim yet.

A copy-ready drafting prompt

Business: [name and what you sell]. Audience: [specific customer]. Platform: [one platform]. Voice: [three adjectives and one actual writing sample]. Verified facts: [hours, location, offer terms, link]. Three real customer questions: [questions]. Available approved media: [list]. Draft three short social posts for one week: (1) answer one question, (2) show one real process step, (3) explain one current offer or availability. Use only the verified facts. Put [VERIFY] wherever a needed fact is missing. Do not invent a review, discount, result, scarcity, or endorsement. For each post, list the claim to check, media needed, and next-step link.

Worked example

Fictional business: Harbor Street Bakery. Verified facts for this exercise: open Tuesday–Saturday, 8 a.m.–3 p.m.; preorders close at noon the prior business day; menu at example.com/menu; approved photos of bread and the storefront.

One reviewed draft: “Lunch planning for tomorrow? Browse this week's menu at example.com/menu. Preorders close at noon the prior business day; today's counter selection may vary. We're open Tuesday–Saturday, 8–3.”

Owner check: Verify the week's menu, preorder rule, date, photo, and link before scheduling. The AI suggested calling a soup “allergy-safe,” but that claim was removed because no ingredient or allergen details were supplied.

3. Publish only after review

Check every price, date, hour, offer term, product claim, and link against your current source.
Confirm rights and permission for images, customer stories, names, and testimonials. Do not fabricate reviews.
Disclose sponsored or other material connections clearly where needed.
Add useful image descriptions where the platform supports them; make videos understandable without sound.
Use your own audience insights to test posting times; no universal best hour is promised.
Review the scheduled preview on a phone and have a person approve the final version.
