Ideas for Messaging Followers When You Post
Simple, respectful ways creators notify followers without spamming
Once creators capture an audience on WhatsApp, the next question is simple:
What should you actually send?
This page gives clear, responsible messaging ideas creators use to notify followers when something important is live — without annoying people or damaging trust.
When should creators message followers?
Messaging works best when it’s intentional.
Good moments to message followers include:
when a new post goes live,
when you’ve shared something important,
when a promotion or collaboration is live,
when you move to a new account or platform.
If the update matters to your audience, it’s usually worth a message.
When should creators NOT message followers?
WhatsApp should not be used for constant chatter.
Avoid messaging:
multiple times a day,
for minor or low-value updates,
out of boredom or habit.
Creators who message only when it matters build stronger engagement over time.
Principles for good creator messages
Before looking at examples, keep these principles in mind.
Keep it short
One or two lines is enough.
The goal is awareness, not explanation.
Be clear about why you’re messaging
Followers should immediately understand:
what’s new, and
why it’s worth their attention.
Respect consent
People opted in to hear from you.
Respect that choice by messaging thoughtfully.
Message ideas for common creator situations
Below are practical examples creators can adapt to their own voice.
New post notification
Use this when you’ve published new content.
Example ideas:
“Just posted a new video — it’s live now 👀”
“New post is up. Thought you’d want to see this one.”
“Just shared something new. Link’s live.”
Short. Direct. No pressure.
Promo or sponsored content
Only message if your audience expects promos from you.
Example ideas:
“New sponsored post is live — thanks for supporting.”
“Partnered with a brand I actually use. Just posted.”
“Promo post is up. Appreciate everyone who checks it out.”
Transparency builds trust.
Important update or announcement
Use this for changes that affect your audience.
Example ideas:
“Quick update — I’ve shared something important.”
“Posting less this week, explained in my latest post.”
“Important note for everyone — just shared.”
Account backup or platform move
This is one of the most valuable uses of audience capture.
Example ideas:
“In case you miss it — I’ve moved accounts. New link’s live.”
“Backup account details posted. Please save it.”
“If you don’t see me on the feed, check this update.”
How often should creators message followers?
There’s no fixed rule, but most creators do well with:
1–3 messages per week, depending on activity.
Consistency matters more than frequency.
Followers are more receptive when they know:
you only message when it’s worth their time.
Why this approach works
These messages work because they are:
permission-based,
short and respectful,
directly tied to content the follower already cares about.
You’re not trying to convince people.
You’re simply letting them know something is live.

Final thoughts
Messaging followers isn’t about volume.
It’s about timing and respect.
Creators who message intentionally:
get better engagement,
build more trust, and
stop guessing who saw their posts.
If you already have people who want updates, the only missing piece is a simple way to reach them.
