If you’re about to hit the ‘Boost’ button on a post
Stop.
You’re throwing money down the drain.
I get it. You’ve put effort into a post and you want people to see it.
Boosting feels like the obvious next step.
But you don’t need to spend a penny to get more eyes on your content.
You just need to know where the platforms are rewarding right now.
Here are three things that are working right now. Free.
And each one takes less than five minutes.
1. Share every grid post straight to your story
The moment you post to your Instagram feed, go straight to your story and share it.
Stories are currently getting bigger reach than grid posts on Instagram.
More people will see your story than your actual post.
So use it. Every single time.
Tap the paper plane icon on your post. Share to story. Done. Thirty seconds.
2. Find five local Facebook groups and share your post into them
This one is massively underused.
There are Facebook groups in your area right now with thousands of local people in them.
First time buyers. Home movers. Local community groups.
Find five. Share one genuinely useful post into each of them this week.
Not a sales pitch. Something helpful.
A tip, a common question you get asked, something that saves people money or time.
One post. Five groups.
Your content lands in front of people who have never heard of you before.
3. Create a reel from a single photo
You don’t need to film anything to make a reel.
Watch my free video on exactly how to do it here: Create a Reel From One Photo
Reel level reach. Without going anywhere near a camera.
No excuses on this one.
Three things. No ad spend. No filming. No editing for hours.
Just smarter use of what you’ve already got.
Try all three this week and let me know how you get on.
Speak soon, Chris
