Young Living Social Media Posts: A Month of Content, Ready to Post in 10 Minutes

You already know you should be posting. That was never the hard part. The hard part is the ordinary weekday when there's nothing obvious to announce, and the box just sits there waiting for you to be clever about something. So it gets pushed to tomorrow. And tomorrow it gets pushed again.

Prefer to watch first? Jump straight to the walkthrough. It covers the whole build, images included.

This week’s Brand Partner Blueprint hands that job to GetOiling. You tell it what each post is for, hand it your real links, and it writes them into your account ready to go out. If you’d rather do it with company, the Weekly Work Session is live every Thursday at 12pm ET, and if you don’t have an account yet you can start for $1 and follow along.

Before any of the building, it helps to know what a week is actually made of, because that shape is what turns “what do I say today” into a much smaller question.

Once a week, promote a blog post you’ve written. Once a week, promote the class or event you have coming up. As often as feels right, mention your weekly wellness tips. Everything else, which should be most of what you publish, exists to start a conversation rather than send anyone anywhere.

That ratio isn’t a style preference. The platforms themselves would rather keep people where they are, and posts that push readers off-site tend to get shown to fewer of them. So the thing that’s good manners with your audience also happens to be the thing that travels furthest. That’s a rare case where doing right by your reader and doing well by the algorithm are the same move.

It changes what a good week looks like, too. Four posts and six real conversations in the comments beats eleven posts nobody replied to, even though the second week looks busier from the outside. Conversations are the leading indicator. Volume is just volume.

It also takes the pressure off any single post. When most of what you publish is simply you being present and interesting, the occasional invitation lands, because it arrives from someone people already like. When every post asks for something, the two that mattered get buried under everything else you said.

So you’re never staring at a blank month. You’re filling a small number of jobs, and most of them are simply you being present.

Here’s the part that decides whether this takes ten minutes or an afternoon: gather your links before you start. Hunting, copying, pasting and searching mid-flow is what turns a quick job into a long one.

You need three things, and none of them have to be new. The links to the blog posts you want to promote, which can be anything you’ve already written as long as it’s about something. Your events page, or the specific class you’re running, with a date attached. And the link to your weekly wellness tips.

Do the minimum here. One event on the calendar and a few blog posts you can point at is genuinely enough to run a whole month. You don’t need a quarter mapped out before this becomes worth doing, and the first month will teach you more about your own pace than any amount of planning would have.

Once those links are sitting somewhere you can copy from, the building happens in two places, and neither of them is a blank document.

Everything, and this is the step people skip. Before you touch any AI feature in GetOiling, go to your account settings and open AI Settings.

The features will still work if you leave it empty. They just won’t work anywhere near as well, because the posts will be written by something that doesn’t know who you are. What you put in AI Settings is what makes the output sound like you instead of like a stranger with a thesaurus.

The bare minimum is who you are, who you help, and how you talk. That alone changes the quality of everything that comes out of it. If you want to go further, this is also where you can keep your plan for the quarter: the classes you’re running, the blog posts you’re publishing and when, the events on your calendar. Then when you ask for posts, it already knows what you’re actively promoting and writes toward it.

It’s worth doing once, properly, because everything else in GetOiling reads from it. The blog writer, the email writer, the page builder and the post creator all draw on the same block. Fill it in for the social posts and you’ve improved every other tool at the same time.

You don’t have to take it as far as a full quarter plan to benefit. But do fill it in before you generate a single post, because everything downstream is built on it.

There are two places social posts get created in GetOiling, and the first one is Project Studio, where you build the things you promote.

Describe the class you’re hosting and Project Studio builds what surrounds it: the page that sells it, the registration, the thank-you page, the Zoom link, the reminder campaign. While you’re setting it up you’ll pass a list of add-ons, and one of them is social media posts. Tick it, and it writes the posts that drive traffic to that event alongside everything else it builds.

It’s an option rather than something that happens on its own, which is worth knowing so you don’t go looking for posts you never asked for. Tick the box and they land in your Social Posts library with the rest of the project.

Run one class a month and you’ve covered the event slot for every week between now and the class date, as a side effect of setting up something you were setting up anyway.

The second place is the Social Posts library itself, in your content library, and this is where the month actually gets built. Work one week at a time: make a group, name it for the week, and add posts.

You can write your own, or you can let GetOiling write them and edit what comes back. Choose the second one. Then comes the part that decides whether you get posts you can publish or posts you’ll delete: tell it exactly what each post is for, hand it the precise links, and tell it plainly what to avoid. Ask vaguely and you’ll get vague copy with invented links in it. Ask precisely and you get posts that are ready to go out.

Here is a prompt you can copy and use as it stands. Swap the parts in capitals for your own:

Write 7 posts for the week of MONDAY DATE, for my lead audience (people who do NOT have an account yet).

Post 1 - promote my free online class, CLASS NAME. Use this exact link and no other: YOUR EVENT LINK
Post 2 - promote this week's blog post. Use this exact link and no other: YOUR BLOG POST LINK
Post 3 - promote my free weekly wellness tips. Use this exact link and no other: YOUR WEEKLY TIPS LINK
Posts 4, 5, 6 and 7 - engagement only, no link at all.

Rules you must follow:
- Never mention Young Living, any brand name, or any specific product.
- Use only the links given above, copied exactly. Never invent, shorten, or guess a URL.
- Speak to the problems and goals my reader already has. Never use hype or salesy phrasing.
- End each promoting post with one clear invitation. End each engagement post with a question.

Notice what it does and doesn’t do. It doesn’t tell the engagement posts what to be about. Left that open, GetOiling came up with its own, and they were some of the strongest in the batch. If you’d rather steer them, name the topics; if you’d rather be surprised, don’t.

Set the number of posts, pick a platform, and generate. You can write for Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Blue Sky, or leave it on General so the same post works anywhere. One prompt fills a week, so four rounds of this and your month is done.

One caution worth taking seriously: those links come out right because you handed them over. Paste your real links every time, and read what comes back before any of it gets published. Anything you didn’t supply is something it will approximate.

Posts with pictures earn more attention, and on somewhere like Instagram the picture isn’t optional. This is usually where a good batching session dies, because you open a design app to make something and forty minutes disappear.

Click the image slot on a post and you get several ways out of that. Anything already in your image library. A design from Canva, if you have Canva connected. A royalty-free photo from Pixabay. An animated image from Giphy.

And then the one most people don’t know is there: create an image with AI. You describe the picture you want and GetOiling makes it, in seconds, without you opening anything else. You can also hand it a reference image so a whole set comes back looking like it belongs together. Greg walks through exactly how it works inside the walkthrough below.

Decide which posts warrant an image while you’re batching. Working that out on the morning you meant to publish is how the whole thing stalls. A real photo from your own life will usually beat anything generated, so use those where you have them and generate for the posts where you don’t.

With the month sitting in your library, the daily job gets very small.

Open the group, pull up the day’s post, and read it. If it doesn’t sound like you, edit it right there, because some of it won’t and that’s expected. Then either copy the text across yourself, or use the POST button on the card, which takes you to the platform with everything ready to paste. It doesn’t publish on your behalf, and it isn’t meant to. You still decide what leaves and when.

Tick the Posted box so you know where you stopped. Then set a timer for fifteen minutes and engage: reply to comments, comment on other people’s posts, answer your messages. When the timer goes off, you’re done for the day.

Those fifteen minutes are the part that moves people toward a yes. Publishing is broadcasting. Replying is a relationship. A focused quarter of an hour beats an unfocused evening every time, and part of why it wins is that you’ll actually do it again tomorrow.

The Weekly Work Session is a live group Q&A and hands-on help session every Thursday at 12pm ET. Bring your questions and whatever you’re working on, and we’ll work through it together. Save your seat here.

You don’t have to get better at writing captions. You have to fill in your AI Settings, gather a handful of links, and tell GetOiling what you want.

Open your Social Posts library, make a group for next week, paste in the prompt, and change the parts in capitals to your own. Do one week and see what it gives you. If you like it, do the other three. That is the entire job, and the first time through takes longer than every time after.

If you’d rather not do the first one alone, bring it to the Weekly Work Session on a Thursday and we’ll sit with you while you do it. And if you’re reading this without an account, start for $1 and have next month’s posts written before the week is out.
