      Expert Positioning Post – Educate your audience on industry insights, FAQs, and myths (e.g., AI headshots vs. professional photography).
      Invitation Post – Guide potential clients to take action (download a freebie, book a session, join your email list).
      • Engage & Network – Share and interact with content from peers and potential clients to increase visibility.
      • Leverage AI for Content – Use tools like ChatGPT to spark ideas but always personalize your messaging.
