What to Post on Instagram in January


Your complete guide to what to post on Instagram in January 2021


If you struggle with what to post on Instagram, you’re not alone!

For many business owners, creating copy for Instagram captions is their number one struggle and a big reason why they don’t post as much as they want to.

When you don’t post consistently, you lose the opportunity to connect with your audience, stay top-of-mind and grow your brand.

That’s why we wanted to help you generate some ideas for topics to post about on Instagram in January 2021.

The complete guide to what to post on Instagram and social media in January 2020 from Haute Stock.



Post about Health, Wellness, Fitness and Workouts

It’s no secret that this is the month for people to want to start a healthier lifestyle, so why not meet them where they’re at and with what they’re already thinking about?

Health, wellness, nutrition, self-care, styled stock photos for women entrepreneurs. Wellness styled stock images for health coaches, stock photos for life coaches, healthy food stock photos for nutritionists, exclusively from Haute Stock.

Health & Wellness Stock Photos

A quick search in the Health & Wellness Category within the Haute Stock Membership library gives you hundreds of image options in a variety of colorways.

We love this unique color palette of green, yellow, blush and black using images from several of our collections.

When looking for health & wellness stock photos you can search for terms like self-care, reading, journaling, exercise, nutrition, healthy food, healthy habits and more.

You don’t have to be in the Health/Wellness field to post about ideas and issues relating to self-care, health and motivation:

  • As a business coach, you could post about how important it is to set yourself up for success with the proper nutrition and exercise

  • Or you could post about your morning routine that helps you stay focused and accomplish more throughout the day

  • Post a pic and add a inspirational quote that helps keep you inspired

  • Ask your audience about their goals for 2021 and share yours

  • Post your morning routine, your favorite healthy recipe, or how you un-wind after a long day

  • Post about why you’re not choosing to start a new diet in the new year
