🚀 Steal This Post Idea 🚀
I put this super simple post out yesterday and look at the results 👇 - 55,000+ views - 41,000+ reach - 92% non-followers seeing it 🤯 - 641 interactions The post was literally just: 👉 “Your next holiday is to BENIDORM. Accept it.” That’s it. Nothing fancy—just straight to the point with a bold destination message. ✨ Here’s the hack for you: Change BENIDORM to suit your niche—Italy, Greece, Florida, Bali—wherever you sell. The formula works because: ✅ Short & snappy ✅ Shareable ✅ Stops the scroll 💡 Give it a try this week and let me know how it performs for you!

Congratulations on the new look and rebrand, Gio. The name and presentation work really well, and it gives a strong, professional impression.

@Gio Yara I post across 50+ Facebook groups, mostly using my business page, though I sometimes use my personal page too. Every group I join is connected to my niche (Benidorm and holidays) — I don’t bother with anything that’s off-topic. Here’s what I’ve learned: ✅ Keep your posts simple ✅ Use beautiful, eye-catching images — not cluttered graphics ✅ Put your text in the caption, not on the image ✅ Use relevant hashtags and keep the tone friendly and natural For example, if you’re talking about red wine… show a real glass of red wine! 🍷 You can find great free or low-cost images from stock sites, it makes a huge difference to how professional your posts look.
🚀 How a Simple Update Reached Half a Million People
Just a reminder that sometimes the simplest posts can have massive reach. Yesterday I shared a quick update about Alicante Airport closing due to a drone incident, nothing fancy, just clear info and a few emojis for visibility. 📊 The results? - Views: 748,818 - Reach: 499,678 - Interactions: 661 That’s nearly half a million people reached from one straightforward post. 💡 Takeaway: Don’t overthink it, when something relevant happens in your niche, post it quickly. Keep it clear, visual, and helpful. People love updates that save them time or worry. 👉 Tip for you all: You can use ChatGPT to help you write these short updates. Just type something like: “Write a quick Facebook post about [topic] with emojis and a reminder to check updates.” Once you’ve written it, post directly on your Facebook page and if it’s a topic that could go viral, pin it for the day.

🚀 How a Simple Update Reached Half a Million People
🔥 Simple Format – Big Results! 🔥
This reel got over 14,000 views and loads of interaction — and the best part? It’s so simple to make! 🎬 Format idea: - Clip 1: grey skies, rain, or snow (POV: Everyone else ☔️) - Clip 2: sunshine, sea, or sand (POV: Me ☀️🏖️) You can grab stock footage for both clips or film your own. I recorded mine here in Benidorm, but the first rainy clip I just downloaded from TikTok and credited the creator. 💡 Why it works: Everyone loves talking about the weather — it’s relatable, funny, and instantly shareable. Try it out, tag a location and watch the reach grow!

Lesson 6: Develop a Simple Content Plan
Consistency is the secret to growing your following, building trust, and keeping your audience engaged. A content plan takes away the stress of wondering “what do I post today?” and helps you stay organised. Step 1: Build a Weekly Posting Schedule ✅ 3–4 Feed Posts (Facebook & Instagram)Mix content that builds trust and sparks interaction: - ✈️ Travel tips - 💬 Questions & conversation starters - 🛍️ Soft promotions & special offer 📲 Daily Stories (Facebook & Instagram)Stay visible and connect more personally: - Quick updates, polls, countdowns - Behind-the-scenes from your daily work life 🎥 3 Reels per Week (Facebook & Instagram)Reels reach new audiences—double your chances by posting on both platforms: - Resort walk-throughs - Booking tips - “Did you know?” travel hacks - Trends with a travel twist 💡 Pro Tip: Create once, post to both platforms. Avoid TikToks with watermarks on Instagram. 👉 In the next lesson, you’ll grab your Weekly Content Planner to map this out easily. Step 2: Rotate Proven Content Types Keep it simple. Rotate through content your audience already loves: - 🌴 Destination highlights – stunning visuals of must-see places - 💡 Travel tips & hacks – “Best time to book flights for summer savings” - 🔥 Exclusive travel deals – create urgency with limited-time offers - 👩‍💻 Behind-the-scenes – show your planning process and daily work - ⭐ Client reviews & testimonials – build credibility and trust Step 3: Focus on Engagement Social media isn’t just about posting—it’s about connection. - Ask questions: “What’s your dream holiday destination?” - Run polls or quizzes: “Beach or city break?” - Invite user-generated content: “Tag us in your holiday photos for a feature!” - Reply to every comment & DM to stay approachable. ⚡ Pro Tip: Engagement in the first hour boosts visibility. Be active and reply quickly. Step 4: Sell Without Being Salesy Stick to the 80/20 Rule: - 80% value-driven content – tips, ideas, inspiration - 20% promotional content – deals, booking reminders
