Stop Posting Random Content. Do This Instead.

Let’s be honest, most businesses are just posting for the sake of posting. A blurry photo of a staff member. A quote from Google Images. A reel with no hook, no direction, no point. And they wonder why nothing's landing.

Here’s the truth: random content leads to random results. But strategic content? That’s how businesses grow. That’s how brands get remembered. That’s how leads come in.

At Market Machine Co, we’ve built our name helping Adelaide based businesses turn their social media into a powerful, consistent machine. So if you’re ready to stop throwing content at the wall hoping it sticks, here’s what to do instead:

1. Start With Your Goals

Before you post anything, ask:

What’s the outcome I want from this content?

• Is it awareness?

• Is it engagement?

• Is it bookings, sales, enquiries?

Random posts don’t serve goals. Strategic posts reverse engineer them.

2. Build Content Pillars

Your business shouldn’t post about everything. It should post about the right things.

At Market Machine Co, we create 3–5 clear content pillars for each client. These might be:

• Behind the scenes / personality-driven content

• Product or service value

• Education / tips

• Testimonials / results

• Entertaining or viral content

Everything ties back to your brand, and builds something real — trust, authority, and consistency.

3. Use Hooks and Storytelling

In 2025, attention is your biggest currency. You’ve got 1.3 seconds to stop the scroll.

Random posts start with “Just a quick update…”Strategic posts start with:

“Here’s why your competitors are beating you.”“This saved our client $10,000.”“Most tradies don’t know this about social media…”

That’s the difference.

4. Batch, Don’t Panic-Post

If you’re posting on the fly every few days, it shows.

We plan weeks of content at a time for clients, including visuals, captions, voiceovers, and strategy, so everything works together. This means less stress for you, better results long-term, and more time back in your business.

5. Track, Test, Tweak

If you’re not checking what works, you’re guessing.

Use basic analytics to figure out:

• What posts get reach

• What reels lead to DMs or conversions

• What content your audience saves, shares, or replies to

Then do more of what works and cut what doesn’t.

The Bottom Line:

Posting randomly won’t build your brand. But posting with strategy? That’s a business asset.

At Market Machine Co, we don’t just post content. We build machines that drive results — through scroll stopping strategy, high quality content, and proven marketing systems.
