Turn Your Social Media Into a Lead-Generating System

Learn Simple Strategies to Attract the Right People and Start More Conversations

One of the best things about social media is that people can come to you asking for information about your business.

By consistently sharing valuable content and building genuine relationships, you can attract people who are interested in saving money on healthcare or looking for an opportunity to earn extra income.

Inside this section, you'll learn simple strategies to help you:

  • Know exactly what to post
  • Grow your audience
  • Build trust with potential customers
  • Start meaningful conversations
  • Naturally attract people who want to learn more
⭐ Make Your Profile Stand Out +

Before you start posting, take a few minutes to make sure your profile represents the person you want others to know.

Remember: when someone enjoys one of your posts, they'll often click on your profile before deciding whether to follow you or send you a message. A welcoming profile builds trust before you ever have a conversation.

✔ Use a Friendly Profile Picture

Choose a recent photo where you're smiling. People connect with faces—not logos.

✔ Update Your Cover Photo

Choose something clean and positive. It could be your family, nature, a favorite hobby, or an inspirational quote. Keep it simple and welcoming.

✔ Complete Your Bio

Tell people a little about yourself. You don't have to mention AmeriPlan.

Examples:

  • Wife • Mom • Coffee Lover • Helping Families Save Money
  • Dog Mom • Outdoor Enthusiast • Passionate About Helping Others

People connect with people—not job titles.

✔ Pin a Welcome Post (Optional)

Consider pinning a post that introduces who you are and what you care about. It doesn't have to be about your business.

✔ Review Your Public Posts

Ask yourself: "If someone visited my profile today, would they want to follow me?" Try to create a profile that reflects kindness, positivity, authenticity, and your personality.

Success Tip: Your profile doesn't need to be perfect. It simply needs to feel like you. People aren't looking for perfection—they're looking for someone they can relate to.
⭐ The 5 Types of Posts That Build Your Business +

People do business with people they know, like, and trust. The more consistently you show up and provide value, the more opportunities you'll create to help others.

📚 1. Educate

Teach people something useful.

Ideas: a healthy recipe, a money-saving tip, a productivity hack, a healthcare fact, something you recently learned.

Goal: Build trust by providing value.

😂 2. Entertain

Not everything has to be serious. Share things that make people smile.

Ideas: funny family moments, pet photos, memes, holiday fun, something funny that happened during your day.

Goal: Build relationships.

💪 3. Motivate

Encourage others.

Ideas: inspirational quotes, personal growth, goal setting, staying positive, lessons you've learned.

Goal: Be someone who leaves people feeling better after they read your post.

❤️ 4. Inspire

Share your journey.

Ideas: why you started your business, a lesson you've learned, a challenge you overcame, a family memory, something you're grateful for.

Goal: People connect with stories much more than they connect with advertisements.

🚀 5. Share Your Business

Don't make every post a sales pitch. Simply share your excitement, your journey, and the people you're helping.

Examples:

  • "I love helping families save money on everyday healthcare."
  • "Helping another family today reminded me why I started this business."
  • "It's exciting learning a business where I can help others while earning extra income."

End with a simple invitation: "I'd be happy to share more," "Send me a message if you'd like information," "Comment INFO below," or "Have you ever looked into healthcare savings?"

Goal: Start conversations—not sales pitches.

The 80/20 Rule: 80% of your content should educate, entertain, motivate, or inspire. 20% should naturally introduce your AmeriPlan business. People follow people, not advertisements. The more value you consistently provide, the more people will look forward to seeing your posts.
Action Step: This week, challenge yourself to create one post in each of the five categories. Don't aim for perfect. Aim for consistent.
👥 Share in Facebook Groups +

One of the fastest ways to grow your audience is by sharing valuable content in Facebook Groups where your ideal audience already spends time.

Join Groups That Match Your Interests

Examples: Hiking, Camping, Cooking, Empty Nesters, Single Moms, Small Business Owners, Fishing, Gardening, Local Community Groups, Parenting Groups.

The goal isn't to promote your business. The goal is to become someone people enjoy following.

Share Content People Want to Share

Think about content like: Recipes, Money-saving tips, Organization hacks, Funny stories, Inspirational posts, Health tips.

The Multiplier Effect

When someone shares your post, it appears in front of all of their friends.

Example: Your recipe gets shared by 100 people. If each has 500 friends, your post has the potential to appear in front of 50,000 people. If only 1% decide to follow you, that's 500 new people who have never seen your content before.

Now every time you post, they'll have the opportunity to see your updates—including your AmeriPlan business. That's how audiences grow.

Success Tip: Create content that people naturally want to share—not just content that promotes your business.
💬 Engage With Your Network +

Social media is meant to be social. Don't just post and disappear.

Make Engagement a Daily Habit

Every day, make it a goal to engage with 20 new people. You can:

  • Comment on friends' posts
  • Congratulate someone on an accomplishment
  • Wish someone a happy birthday
  • Ask thoughtful questions
  • Encourage people

Why Questions Matter

One of the easiest ways to start conversations is by asking questions. When people reply, relationships begin to grow.

The Visibility Cycle

As you interact with new people, your newsfeed begins showing you new people and new conversations. Those same people will often begin engaging with your content too. More engagement leads to more visibility. More visibility creates more opportunities to help people.

Action Step: Spend 10–15 minutes each day intentionally engaging with others before or after you post.
🎥 Create Reels +

If you want to grow your audience faster, start creating short videos.

Facebook and Instagram often show Reels to people who have never heard of you before. The good news? You don't have to be a professional. You don't even have to talk.

Simple Ideas to Record

Record yourself:

  • Drinking coffee
  • Walking outside
  • Cooking dinner
  • Working at your desk
  • Organizing your home
  • Playing with your kids
  • Walking your dog

Even an 8–15 second video is enough. Then add text to the screen explaining your message.

Pro Tip: Record several short videos on Sunday and use them throughout the week.

📱 Use Stories Every Day +

Let people see the real you. Stories don't have to be perfect—in fact, the best Stories are often the simplest ones.

What to Record

Grab your phone and record an 8–15 second video of something you're already doing:

  • Making your morning coffee
  • Going for a walk
  • Driving to work
  • Cooking dinner
  • Folding laundry
  • Walking your dog
  • Working from your computer
  • Grocery shopping
  • Watching the sunrise

You don't even have to talk. You can simply record the moment and add text to the screen.

What to Say

Keep it simple and conversational. Examples:

  • "Grateful for another day to help families save money."
  • "Starting the day with coffee and answering customer questions."
  • "One of my favorite things about this business is being able to work around my family's schedule."
  • "Learning something new every day!"

People connect with real life—not perfection.

Pro Tip: Record several 8–15 second clips throughout your day. By evening, you'll have plenty of content to share without feeling like you have to create something from scratch.

Don't Forget Captions

Always turn on captions. Many people watch Stories with the sound turned off, so captions help make sure your message is still understood.

Action Step: Today, post one 8–15 second Story showing a small moment from your day. Don't overthink it. The goal is simply to let them get to know you.
🌟 Build Authority +

Teach your audience something valuable—and position yourself as a trusted resource, not a salesperson.

Authority doesn't mean acting like an expert. It means consistently sharing what you're learning and how you're helping others.

Authority Post Examples

  • "Here's one thing I learned this week about saving on healthcare."
  • "A question I get asked all the time..."
  • "Three things every family should know before scheduling dental work."
  • "One mistake I used to make..."

The goal is to become a trusted resource, not a salesperson.
