Your complete guide to what to post on Instagram in January 2021
If you struggle with what to post on Instagram, you’re not alone!
For many business owners, creating copy for Instagram captions is their number one struggle and a big reason why they don’t post as much as they want to.
When you don’t post consistently, you lose the opportunity to connect with your audience, stay top-of-mind and grow your brand.
That’s why we wanted to help you generate some ideas for topics to post about on Instagram in January 2021.
Post about Health, Wellness, Fitness and Workouts
It’s no secret that this is the month for people to want to start a healthier lifestyle, so why not meet them where they’re at and with what they’re already thinking about?
Health & Wellness Stock Photos
A quick search in the Health & Wellness Category within the Haute Stock Membership library gives you hundreds of image options in a variety of colorways.
We love this unique color palette of green, yellow, blush and black using images from several of our collections.
When looking for health & wellness stock photos you can search for terms like self-care, reading, journaling, exercise, nutrition, healthy food, healthy habits and more.

As a business coach, you could post about how important it is to set yourself up for success with the proper nutrition and exercise
-
Or you could post about your morning routine that helps you stay focused and accomplish more throughout the day
-
Post a pic and add a inspirational quote that helps keep you inspired
-
