3 Types of Content You Should Be Posting Weekly to Grow Your Mission-Driven Brand

Nov 19

Let’s cut to it: If your social media strategy consists of frantically filling blank squares in your content calendar, you’re doing too much of the wrong thing and not enough of the right.

You don’t need to post every day. But you do need to post intentionally.

Whether you're a Catholic nonprofit, a small business owner, or a faith-based brand trying to grow online, the key to long-term success isn’t perfect graphics or clever trends, it's consistency, clarity, and content that actually serves your audience.

Let’s break down the 3 essential types of content you should be posting every single week, even if you only post three times total.

1. Connection Content: Build Trust & Relatability

This is your “human” content, the kind that shows the people, heart, and story behind the brand.

Share a behind-the-scenes moment from your office, team meeting, or event
Introduce a staff member, volunteer, or founder
Post a story about how you started, why you keep going, or who inspires your work

Why it matters: People support people. Before they buy, donate, or subscribe, they need to feel something. This type of content builds the emotional bridge between your mission and their action.

2. Value Content: Teach, Inspire, or Inform

This is your “expertise” content, the content that positions you as a trusted source.

Break down a myth in your industry or niche
Share a quote with a powerful reflection
Post a list of tips, FAQs, or steps that help your audience

Why it matters: This is what keeps people coming back. Value-based content helps your audience solve a problem or learn something new and it’s what builds credibility over time.

Pro tip: Value content doesn’t have to be long or complicated. A 15-second Reel with a strong voiceover or a text-based carousel post can do wonders here.

3. Invitation Content: Ask Them to Take the Next Step

This is your conversion content, the one that reminds people you do something, sell something, or need support.

Promote your services, products, or events
Highlight how people can support you (donate, volunteer, pray, share)
Include a clear CTA (call-to-action): "Sign up," "Join us," "Shop now," "Learn more"

Why it matters: You’re not just there to entertain—you’re building a mission. And people need to be reminded regularly how they can engage with it. Don’t be shy. You’re not being salesy, you’re being strategic.

What This Looks Like in Practice

If you only post 3x a week, you could structure your weekly flow like this:

Monday: Connection Post (share a story from your community)
Wednesday: Value Post (a myth-busting Reel or quote carousel)
Friday: Invitation Post (reminder to join your email list or attend your next event)

This rhythm allows your audience to get to know you, trust you, and take action.
