Coaching sells on proof and specificity, not on general motivational lines. A post that says “believe in yourself” could belong to anyone. A post that walks through the exact framework you used to help one client fix one specific problem could only belong to you, and that specificity is what actually gets someone to book a call.
What to post
Client results and case studies
- A specific client outcome, with real numbers where you can share them.
- The exact problem a client came to you with, and how it resolved.
- A quote from a client that captures a real shift, not just praise.
- A before-and-after of a client’s situation, told honestly.
- What a client said in a session that stuck with you.
Frameworks and methods
- The exact process you walk clients through, step by step.
- A tool or framework you use constantly, explained plainly.
- The question you ask every new client in a first session.
- A common mistake you see people make before working with you.
- How your approach differs from the generic advice in your field.
Personal experience and credibility
- The problem you faced yourself before you started coaching others through it.
- A mistake you made early in your own career or business.
- Why you chose this specific niche or specialty.
- Your own current work, shown honestly, not just polished.
Education, given freely
- A genuinely useful piece of advice, with no pitch attached.
- Answering the question you get asked most, in full.
- A myth in your field you disagree with, and why.
- A quick, actionable tip someone could use today.
Offers and calls to action
- What working with you actually looks like, in three steps.
- Current availability and how to book a first conversation.
- A specific program or package, explained plainly, price included.
- The kind of client you work best with, described honestly.
How often to post
Three to five times a week works well, especially on LinkedIn where consistent, useful posting compounds over months. Lead with education and proof far more often than direct offers, a rough three-to-one ratio of useful content to pitches keeps an audience engaged rather than tuning out.
Which platforms matter most
LinkedIn does the most work for business, career, and executive coaches, since it’s where the professional audience already is and where a well-written post can travel through a network you don’t directly reach. Instagram works better for life, wellness, and fitness coaching, where a more visual, personal presence builds trust faster. Whichever platform you choose, depth beats breadth here, one platform posted to consistently outperforms three posted to occasionally.
