Prompt for Friday, September 18th, 2026:
DITL (day in the life) posts are often trending for a reason: They give an inside view into the life of a creator, and at least one featured frame is probably pretty relatable to everyone in your audience.
As the busiest season for most in agriculture, fall provides ample opportunity to find content to compile a DITL post. (Although finding time to edit might be a bit more challenging!)
As you compose your DITL post, consider:
- Whether you plan to share a video (most popular) or a carousel. If opting for a video, will you use short clips or still images to visually show your day (with a voiceover explaining what your audience is seeing added during editing)?
- Aim for 5-6 moments (or beats):
- What happens every day that might be relatable to your audience? Do you wake up and immediately head to the kitchen to get the coffee maker going? Do you need to get kids up and going in time to catch the school bus? Even the most routine events in your day make great additions to a DITL post – be sure to include those daily tasks in your post.
- What are one or two unique things about your day that only happen in the fall? Be sure to grab the footage you need to match any explanations in your voiceover. (Example: short video walk through of the combine if you plan to explain a bit about how it works.)
- Make a brief plan before starting the day, especially if this is your first DITL post. Jot it down on a scrap piece of paper or in your notes app to remind yourself to grab the right shots to align with what you would like to share with your audience.
Tips:
- Plan for a 60-90 second video or 6-8 slide carousel.
- Don’t forget the voiceover (video) or to add text to your carousel slides to explain what is happening.
- Include a hook at the beginning. (“Come along to see what a typical harvest day looks like for me and my family!”)
- Utilize the caption text to improve post performance in search.
The best part of a DITL post is that there is no one right way to compose your story: It’s your day and totally unique to you! If you’re just starting out on social media, this is an excellent type of post to make as you continue to get your feet wet with content development and editing.
