10 Content Ideas for Makers

You’re juggling orders, customer questions, packaging, inventory… and now Instagram wants a post? 😩
If you’re staring at a blinking cursor wondering what to say—or worse, just posting a random photo and hoping for the best—you’re not alone.
The good news? Marketing your products doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need a rhythm.

Here are 10 post ideas product-based business owners can use on repeat to keep their content fresh, engaging, and actually converting šŸ‘‡

The 10 Post Ideas:

  1. Product Feature
    Showcase one item. Highlight what makes it special—whether it’s the materials, a new color, or who it’s perfect for.
    šŸ’” Pro tip: Pair with a carousel of close-up details.

  2. Behind-the-Scenes
    Show your process: sketching, cutting, assembling, packing orders. People love seeing how the magic happens.

  3. Customer Love (Testimonial or UGC)
    Screenshot a kind review or share a photo a customer tagged you in. Social proof builds trust fast.

  4. FAQ Post
    What do people ask you all the time? Turn that into a post. (Ex: “Can this be customized?” or “What size is it?”)

  5. Meet the Maker
    Introduce yourself! Even a quick photo with a caption like “5 things you didn’t know about me” builds connection.

  6. Time-Lapse or Reel
    Speed up your process and show your product coming to life.
    šŸŽ„ Not sure how? I include monthly mobile video templates in My Social Companion to make this super easy.

  7. Holiday or Seasonal Tie-In
    Think gift guides, countdowns, or “Last day to order for [Holiday]!”

  8. Before & After
    Whether it’s a workspace transformation, a design upgrade, or packaging glow-up—it’s a scroll-stopper.

  9. Educational Tip
    Teach something! Share how to care for your product, how it’s made, or even something about the material you use.

  10. Call to Action
    Be direct: “Just restocked!” “Spots open!” “Custom orders close Friday!” Make it easy for people to take action.
