What to Post on Instagram: 10 Easy Content Ideas
Sometimes we all have those days where we are out of ideas of what to post on Instagram. Continually coming up with ideas can be difficult and even I sometimes feel uninspired and need to either get out and do something, listen to music, read a book etc- then I’ll be back in my routine of posting. But for those days when you’re out of ideas, I made a list of my top 10 Instagram ideas for when you feel like you have “nothing” to post. Hopefully this list will come in handy to cure your creative block.
Comment below what other tips and tricks you would like me to write about!

1. OOTD
My Instagram is filled with OOTDs. I love sharing what I am wearing. If you don’t have someone to take the photo for you, just take a “from where I stand” OOTD. Find a cool rug or tile and give everyone an idea of what you are wearing.
2. Your Food
Whether you’re in it or just your food is, share your breakfast with your followers. The lighting is typically good in the morning and you can set up a really fun morning shoot, plus it’s nice to let others know great spots to eat.
3. Cafe/Coffee Shop
Latte art is a thing and can be very aesthetically pleasing. Test out the coffee shops in your area and snap some photos. Sometimes even the scenery makes for a good Insta shoot. But never post at a food/coffee if you’re really not a fan of the food/coffee- the worst is just going something that’s cute to shoot but you truly wouldn’t recommend the place to anyone. Always make sure you’re being authentic with you’re recommendations to your followers and readers.
4. Nail Selfie
If you follow me on Instagram, you know whenever I get my nails done I love to post a photo of them. Adding some fun jewelry to your hands and finding a good backdrop makes taking a nail selfie super easy. You don’t even have to get your nails done, you can always do them yourself- make sure to share the nail polish color you’re wearing either on the photo or on Insta Story, it’s always great to offer value. 🙂
5. Your Workspace
Share with your followers your workspace and let them know what you’re working on.
6. Ice Cream
Snap a photo of what you love, for me it’s ice cream! lol
7. What Inspires You
Sometimes you come across cool photo on the internet, a quote or something that inspires you. Post it!
8. A Flat Lay
Gather some items from around your home and take a flat lay. You can throw in some flowers, jewelry and even a wallet or sunnies.
9. Grab Your Friends/Family
If you’re spending the day doing something fun with your friends or family, document it with a some photo! Lately I’ve been really uninspired by group shots, if you’re in the moment great- but if you had to plan the day to take photos together it’s probably going to feel forced. I love taking photos with Jadyn and Anthony because they’re such a huge part of my life!
