Time to think about social media post ideas for August already?! 

When I was a kid, August meant nothing. No agenda. Lazy days that were relaxing and fun. (Thanks, Mom And Dad!) 

As I get older, August still makes me light, but reflective, too. 

September is coming. September is my January when I plan resolutions — like a fresh start after I shake off the sand from my beach walk. 

Bigger things are coming, but plans are made now, so let’s skip the second-guessing about what to post on social media in August. 

You can take inspiration right from my content calendar. I use these post ideas for Instagram, but they can work great for blogs, videos, Facebook posts, Pinterest pins, and anywhere else you’d like to find your audience online. 

See below to steal my social media post ideas for August.
