Day 3 of 5: Social Media Posts That Actually Get Written

Most tradespeople know they should post. Almost none do consistently. These prompts remove the blank page.

Today's prompts

Copy, fill in the [brackets], paste into ChatGPT. Under 60 seconds each.

Before and After Job Post Marketing

Use this when: You have just completed a job that looks visually impressive : a bathroom fit, a rewire, a garden clearance.

Write a Facebook post about completing a full bathroom renovation in Rathmines, Dublin this week. New walk-in shower, underfloor heating, full wall and floor tiling. 4-day job. Business: Walsh Tiling. Informal, local feel. Under 90 words. No hard sell. End with a soft CTA.

Change the names, amounts, and details to match your situation.

Example output

Big job wrapped up in Rathmines this week. Full bathroom renovation. New walk-in shower, underfloor heating, and tiling throughout. 4-day job, client is delighted. If you have been sitting on a bathroom project, now is a good time to get quotes in before summer. DM us or call 087 234 5678.

Why it works: "Before the summer rush" creates mild natural urgency without feeling like a discount or hard sell. Local area mentions increase engagement from nearby potential clients who see the post.

Seasonal Availability Post Marketing

Use this when: You have slots coming up in the next 2-4 weeks and want to fill them without running paid ads.

Write a short Facebook post letting local customers know I have 3 slots available in the next 2 weeks. Business: Walsh Tiling, Dublin. Trade: tiling and bathroom renovation. Informal and warm. Under 70 words. No desperation. Include my number: 087 234 5678.

Change the names, amounts, and details to match your situation.

Example output

A few slots have come up in the next 2 weeks if anyone has a tiling or bathroom job that needs doing. We cover all of Dublin. No job too small if the timing works. Call 087 234 5678 or drop us a message here.

Why it works: "No job too small" is a specific phrase that gets responses from people with smaller jobs who assumed they would be turned away. It broadens the lead pool without changing your actual pricing or scope.

The reason most tradespeople never post : and the fix

Consistency matters more than quality in local social media. A business that posts once a week for a year will generate more inbound leads than one that posts brilliantly for a month and then goes quiet. The goal is not to go viral. The goal is to be visible when someone in your area is thinking about a bathroom, a rewire, or a garden clearance. One post per week, using the same prompt each time, is enough. Batch three posts on a Sunday evening and schedule them.

Working in Belgium, Germany, Netherlands or Ireland?

All prompts are written in English, but you can get the output in Dutch, German, French, or any language by adding one line to the end of any prompt: "Write the response in [language]."

Example: "Write a polite follow-up for a bathroom renovation quote sent 5 days ago. Customer: Meneer De Vries. Amount: EUR 2,400. My business: Bakker Loodgieters. Keep it under 80 words. Write the response in Dutch."

ChatGPT handles Dutch, German, French, and most other languages fluently. The prompt logic stays the same. Only the output language changes.
