Frequently asked questions
Are these social media templates free?
Yes. All 40 templates are free to copy and use for your own business or your clients, with no sign-up.
How do I use a template?
Click Copy template, paste it into your post and replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details. Each template page also shows a filled-in example.
Which networks do the templates work on?
All of them. Each template lists the networks it suits best, but you can post it anywhere: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, X, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Telegram and WhatsApp Business.
How often should I post?
Pick a pace you can keep. Three good posts a week beat seven rushed ones. Mixing template types (a tip, a question, a story) keeps your feed interesting.
Can I schedule these posts in advance?
Yes. Write a week of posts from the templates, then schedule them in PilotPost to go out on every network at the right time.
