Everybody know about the Strength Of Social Media, But the main question arise here is that how to increase the followers of Social Media and how to increase the CTR (Click Through Rate) by Social Media. So the Strength of Social Media could not be ignore in Internet Marketing. I am describing you the list cover everything you could post on social media from personal, to business-related, to promotional posts, this list of 30 ideas will keep you inspired for a long time.

• Quotes: Humorous, inspiring or motivational quotes always perform well.
• Polls: While Facebook offers built-in polls, I find running them manually works best for boosting engagement (e.g. “Which of these books is your favorite?”)
• Behind-the-scenes photos: Take candid shots of yourself, your employees, or snap a shot of your office or workspace.
• Statistics or data: Share new, relevant industry statistics (these perform great in terms of retweets and shares)
• Post a link to an old blog post: There’s nothing wrong with recycling, and old posts will gain new engagement, extending their life.
• Questions: Pose simple, basic questions that your followers can answer quickly.
• Link to a guest post: Share (or re-share) a link to a post you contributed to another site. If you’re interested in learning how and why guest blogging should be part of your online strategy, see my article, The Ultimate Guide to Building Your Business by Guest Blogging.
• Post a branded image: Post a funny or inspirational image with your logo or website URL on it.
• Infographics: Find an infographic your followers would appreciate. Check out Daily Infographic for ideas, or better yet, create your own.
• Product photos: Work best on sites like Pinterest or Instagram. Think about how you can add a unique angle to the shots (e.g. an employee actually using the product, a customer-submitted photo, etc.).
• Photos that have nothing to do with your products or business: Instead, they convey the feeling behind your brand. For instance, how Starbucks shares photos on Instagram to associate their brand with sunshine, warmth, and good friends (not just coffee).
• Behind-the-scenes product shots: Photos of your products being manufactured or sourced.
• Link to a controversial blog post: There’s nothing better for eliciting engagement than a little controversy.
• Ask for input on your products: Your followers will love giving their thoughts on how to improve your products.
• Let Pinterest inspire you: Pinterest is a goldmine in terms of finding beautiful images you can share (particularly images with quotes). Just be sure to give proper credit.
• Share a helpful resource: If you’re truly concerned about sharing the most useful info with your followers, don’t be afraid to direct them to other people’s valuable content (not just your own).
• Post a Slideshare presentation: If you want to find one that’s already proven itself to be popular, go to the ‘Trending in Social Media’ section at the bottom of the Slideshare homepage.
• Link to a case study: Case studies are great for delivering useful info in a way that’s often more palatable and actionable than a standard blog post.
• Link to an industry-related IFTTT recipe: Haven’t heard of IFTTT (short for If This Then That)? You need to check it out. Then share a link to a recipe your followers would find useful.
• Ask for reviews or testimonials: Eliciting reviews from fans or followers is one of the best ways to get testimonials you can use as social proof on your website.
• Fan photos: Search for hashtags related to your business or products, and share a customer photo on Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest.
• Recommend a tool: Share a (preferably free) tool or resource you think your followers would find useful.
• Share a favorite book: Similar to #23, share a book recommendation your fans or followers would appreciate.
• A day in the life post: Give a recap of a typical day in the life of a graphic designer, author, CEO, etc.
• Recommend your favorite products: If you’re an e-commerce site, share a list of your top sellers or highest-rated products. If you’re a service provider, share a list of the products that help you succeed in your business.
• Share random tips: Periodically post a random tip or trick your followers would find useful. Hint: using random tip numbers adds interest to your post (e.g. Tip #256: __________)
• Link to your most popular blog post: Give a brief intro to the post and explain why it’s your most read and shared post.
• Provide a recommendation: Share the love by recommending a business you’ve worked with successfully in the past.
• Share a work/life balance tip: Your social media followers want to know you’re a real person with the same struggles as them. Share a tip you’ve learned for balancing work, life and family.
