The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Facebook: How to Stay Consistent in 5 Minutes a Day

Let’s face it—showing up on Facebook consistently can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling a million other things. That’s why this week on the podcast, I’m sharing a Lazy Girl’s Guide to showing up on Facebook (or any social media platform) when you don’t feel like it.

This isn’t about hustle. It’s about hacks that make consistency easy, take the pressure off, and work with your energy, not against it. So whether you're in a rut, burned out, or just busy, these simple steps can help you stay visible, grow your audience, and engage without the overwhelm.

Here are the 3 lazy girl–approved ways to stay consistent on Facebook in less than 5 minutes a day—plus a bonus hack that might just blow your mind.

1. Reshare a High-Performing Post to Stories

One of the easiest things you can do each day? Head to your most popular recent post and hit “Share to Story.” That’s it.

Facebook Stories are a great way to keep your name top of mind, and by resharing what’s already working, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. This is your minimum viable effort strategy—and it counts.

2. Use Facebook’s Automatic Invite Feature

Inside your professional dashboard, there’s an option to invite people who’ve interacted with your content to like your page. It’s a built-in growth feature that takes less than 10 seconds.

Just tap it. Let Facebook do the rest. No more worrying about spamming people or over-inviting. This tool does it safely and smartly—and it works.

Want to see exactly how to do this? I shared a quick demo over on the Creatives on Fire Facebook page. (Link in the show notes.)

3. Grab a Templated Post from Facebook Fuel

If you’re really crunched for time or energy, having done-for-you post templates is a game-changer. That’s why I created Facebook Fuel—a plug-and-play library of high-engagement posts ready to go.

Just choose one, schedule it for tomorrow, and boom—you’ve already shown up.

If you're a blogger, creator, or small business owner who wants engagement without effort, Facebook Fuel was made with you in mind.

Bonus Hack: Use Reels and Stories Smarter

Here’s the ultimate trick I’ve discovered: Film one short video and use it in three ways.

• Record a one-minute face-to-camera video (can be as simple as pouring your morning coffee or sharing a quick tip)
• Post it as a Reel to your page
• Then reshare it to your Stories

Want to go next-level? Record that video as a live, then repurpose the clip into a reel and share to Stories.

That’s 3 powerful pieces of content from one simple action—and it’s what the algorithm loves.

Consistency Over Complexity

The biggest takeaway from this episode is this: It doesn’t have to be complicated to be consistent.

You don’t need to be everywhere, do everything, or spend hours online. Just pick a few intentional actions and do them regularly. Even on your busiest days, you can:

• Reshare a post to Stories
• Tap “invite” in your dashboard
• Schedule a pre-written template
• Reply to a few comments
• Record one short video and use it three ways

That's all it takes to stay top of mind, keep your audience engaged, and build momentum—even when you're short on time or motivation.
