Step #1: Come up with a post idea
Before you can craft a killer Facebook post, you need a solid idea. And we all know that sometimes, the toughest part is coming up with something fresh and relevant.
Staring at a blank screen? Yeah, we’ve been there.
There are PLENTY of ways to get the creative juices flowing with Post Planner to make sure your posts hit the mark with your audience.
Tap into what your audience cares about most
The best posts speak DIRECTLY to your audience’s pains, goals, and needs. Think about what keeps them up at night or what they’re trying to achieve.
For example, if you’re a small business owner targeting busy parents, you could create a post about time-saving hacks for meal prepping.
Post Planner’s AI can help you brainstorm these ideas. Just feed it insights about your audience, like their challenges or goals, and watch it generate suggestions that resonate.
Here's a prompt you can use:
"Give me a list of Facebook post ideas based on these challenges and goals of [specific audience]. Challenges: [list of challenges]. Goals: [list of goals]."
Turn personal stories into relatable posts
People connect with stories. Have an experience you think your audience would enjoy? SHARE IT. Personal posts build trust on Facebook and show you’re more than just a brand.
For instance, if you're a sales coach for auto dealerships, you could talk about HOW you made a sale after overcoming a prospect's objection about high interest rates.
With Post Planner’s AI tool, you can plug in a few details about your story, and it will help you shape it into a relatable, engaging Facebook post.
Keep an idea list handy
Creativity isn’t always convenient. When ideas pop up, jot them down RIGHT AWAY. (Even if you’re not ready to post yet.)
Keeping an idea list ensures that when inspiration strikes (even in the middle of the night), you won’t lose it.
In Post Planner, you can save these ideas as drafts and come back to them later, making it easy to keep your content pipeline full.
Get unstuck with AI and content streams
Feeling stuck? That’s where AI and trending content come in handy.
Post Planner’s AI tool can suggest post ideas based on your target audience and the type of content you want to share.
For example, let’s say your target audience is dog lovers. You could prompt AI with, “What’s a fun way to keep dogs active indoors?” AI will generate creative ideas you can refine to match your style.
And if you’re STILL feeling stuck, no worries.
You can explore Post Planner’s content streams to see what’s trending in your niche.
You’ll see the top-performing posts that are already grabbing attention, so you know what’s working.
From there, you can share those stories or use trending ideas as inspiration, letting AI help you put your own unique spin on them so they fit your brand perfectly.
Step #2: Create your prompt
Now that you’ve got a great idea, it’s time to turn that into a solid AI prompt.
Here are a few tips to craft the perfect prompt:
Create specific, detailed prompts
The more information you give, the better AI can generate something that works for YOU. Include specifics like:
- Your target audience AND their pains and goals
- The type of post (e.g., promotional, educational, or personal)
- The tone you want to strike (e.g., friendly, professional, or funny).
For example, instead of saying → “Write a Facebook post about dog grooming,”
try saying → “Write a friendly Facebook post for pet owners about the benefits of grooming their dogs regularly. Keep the tone casual and add a fun fact about grooming tools.”
You can grab 42 tested Facebook post prompts and templates here.
Include keywords
If there are certain phrases or keywords your audience connects with, include those in the prompt. Keywords help AI tailor posts to topics and language your audience is familiar with.
For instance, if you’re targeting fitness enthusiasts, you might want to include words like “workout,” “healthy habits,” or “meal prep” in your prompt.
Experiment with tone and style
Don’t be afraid to play around with tone.
If you’re aiming for something a bit more fun or even humorous, tell AI! It can adjust the tone to match your brand’s vibe, whether you’re aiming for something light-hearted or serious.
For example:
- “Create a playful Facebook post for a pet shop about the importance of giving pets daily exercise. Keep it upbeat and include a funny anecdote.”
Prompt examples for different Facebook post types
Crafting the perfect prompt can seem tricky at first, but once you know the kind of post you want to create, it’s all about giving AI the right direction.
Here are a few examples to help you get the most out of Post Planner’s AI, so your Facebook posts hit the mark EVERY time.
Educational post:
Want to teach your audience something new? Use a prompt that guides AI to explain or share useful information. This type of post is perfect for providing value and positioning your brand as an expert in your industry.
- “Write a Facebook post explaining how to create a workout plan for beginners. Keep the tone motivational and easy to follow.”
Promotional post:
When it’s time to promote your product or service, you’ll want a prompt that drives action. Highlight special offers, discounts, or limited-time deals to create a sense of urgency.
- “Create a Facebook post promoting our summer sale on dog grooming tools. Mention the 20% discount and include a call to action, like ‘Shop Now!’”
Storytelling post:
Nothing grabs attention like a great story. Use AI to help you turn a customer experience or personal journey into a post that inspires your audience.
- “Write a personal Facebook post about a customer who transformed their fitness journey. Make it relatable, and include a quote from the customer.”

Step #3: Refine your AI-generated posts
AI-generated posts are a fantastic starting point, but with a few tweaks, you can take them from good to great. Here are some tips to ensure your content shines and aligns perfectly with your brand:
Customize for your brand voice
While AI is great at generating content, it’s important to add your personal touch to make sure the post feels like YOU.
- How to do it: Review the post and tweak the tone or language to match your brand’s personality—whether it’s casual, professional, or humorous. Adding a few unique phrases or expressions can make the post feel more authentic.
Add personal stories
People connect with stories. Personal anecdotes or real-life examples make your Facebook posts more relatable and engaging.
- How to do it: Edit your AI-generated post to include a quick story or experience. It could be as simple as “Last week, I tried this hack, and here’s what happened…” This builds a connection with your audience.
Include visuals and emojis
Facebook posts with visuals and emojis tend to get more attention. They make your content more eye-catching and fun!
- How to do it: After generating your post, add a relevant image, GIF, or video. Throw in a few emojis to highlight key points or inject a playful tone.
Post Planner allows you to easily upload or design visuals alongside your AI-generated content.
Always use a clear CTA
Every post should end with a clear call to action. Whether you’re encouraging a comment, a share, or a click, a CTA helps guide your audience on what to do next.
- How to do it: Add a line like “Tell us your thoughts in the comments!” or “Click the link to learn more.” Make sure your CTA is aligned with the purpose of the post.
Step #4: Schedule your posts
Now that you’ve crafted the perfect AI-generated post, it’s time to schedule it!
Scheduling your Facebook posts makes sure your content goes live at JUST the right time. (When your audience is most active and ready to engage.)
