The 3 Things Top Creators Never Post (That You Probably Are)
If your content feels like it’s disappearing into the void, this isn’t just a “posting more” problem.
This is a strategy problem.
Because while most creators are out here throwing spaghetti at the wall—posting reels, carousels, lives, and everything in between—top creators are doing the opposite.
They know what not to post.
They cut the fluff.
They keep the attention.
They craft every post to make people feel, believe, and act.
Let’s break down the 3 deadly posting habits top creators avoid like the plague—and how you can start creating content that actually moves people.
1. “Look At Me” Content (aka: Narcissist Posting)
We get it. You hit a new milestone. You’re proud of the new gear. You had a great morning routine.
But newsflash: people aren’t following you to celebrate your life.
They’re following you to fix theirs.
Top creators know this. That’s why they never post unless it answers a silent question their audience is already asking:
“How does this help me?”
Your audience isn’t selfish—they’re just scrolling fast. If your post doesn’t hit them with clarity, relatability, or value in under 3 seconds… they’re gone.
Examples of "Look At Me" posts that flop:
“Just landed in Bali for a much-needed recharge!”
“My mic setup for today’s coaching call.”
“Feeling grateful for this view.”
Who cares?
Now here’s how top creators flip it:
“Why I work from Bali (and how I make it profitable)”
“3 tools I use to sound like a pro on calls”
“This view cost me $0—because I posted this 1 thing that landed a dream client”
Same life. Different framing. One creates fans. One gets ignored.
2. “Value Bombs” with No Build-Up or Tension
Everyone says “give value” but no one says how.
So what do most creators do?
They list a bunch of facts. Tips. Steps. Checklists.
But here’s the brutal truth:
If there’s no emotional arc, there’s no attention.
Think of your post like a Netflix episode. You don’t start with the ending. You don’t dump spoilers in the first minute. You build tension.
Top creators tell a story, even in short-form:
Hook: “I was ready to give up after 6 straight flops.”
Conflict: “I tried every strategy. Nothing worked.”
Breakthrough: “Then I noticed this one thing in my analytics…”
Reward: “Now I’ve hit 5 straight viral posts. Here’s what changed.”
That’s not “just” a tip. That’s an emotional journey. That’s dopamine. That’s what people remember.
So here’s a simple fix:
Stop teaching like a manual. Start teaching like a movie.
And no—this isn’t just for long-form content. Even a tweet thread or IG carousel can tell a mini story if you do it right.
Structure wins. Always.

3. “How-To Hell” Content That Teaches Too Much
Here’s the trap: you want to prove your expertise.
So you post all your steps. All your frameworks. All your checklists. You think you’re being generous.
You think, “This is how I’ll earn trust.”
But here’s what really happens…
Your audience feels:
Overwhelmed
Uncertain they can do it
Unclear why they should trust you to help
Teaching without belief = wasted effort.
Top creators don’t just teach what to do. They make people believe that they can actually do it—and that it’s worthdoing.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
Instead of “Here’s how to set up an email funnel,” say “This one sentence got 8 replies in 3 hours—copy it.”
Instead of “How to batch your content,” say “This 15-minute content hack saved me 6 hours a week.”
Less steps. More story.
Less explaining. More inspiring.
And here’s the real kicker: when you simplify, you create demand. You make people want more. That’s how you lead to your offers, your services, your product.
If you give away the whole meal, they won’t come back hungry.
Teach just enough to create belief. Save the depth for inside your offer.

BONUS: The Silent Killer—Posting Without a POV
This one’s subtle. You might not even realize you’re doing it.
But if your content sounds like everyone else’s…
If it’s safe, generic, and feels like a Wikipedia page…
You’re invisible.
Top creators have an edge. They take a stand. They have a Point of View that challenges, provokes, or redefines how people think.
Examples:
“Content doesn’t build trust. Proof does.”
“Posting daily doesn’t matter if your content sucks.”
“Hashtags don’t grow your audience—conversations do.”
These lines stick. Why?
Because they’re not facts. They’re frames. They change how people think.
If you want to grow fast, your content has to make people say, “Damn… I never thought of it that way.”
Don’t be afraid to offend. Don’t be afraid to polarize. The people who matter will stick around. The rest were never buying anyway.
Recap: Stop Posting Like You’re Begging for Likes
Here’s the truth:
If you’re posting “Look at me” content...
If you’re vomiting value with no story...
If you’re teaching without belief...
You’re playing the wrong game.
Top creators craft content like a weapon. Every post is built to make someone stop, feel, think, and act.
The good news? You don’t need to post more. You just need to post better.
