To help you out I’ve listed 15 days’ worth of story ideas and content prompts. See if you can do it every day. I bet it’ll make a difference in your overall engagement.
DAY:
Introduce yourself to new followers - even if you haven’t had a ton of new followers hop on your stories and give everyone a quick hello this is me!

Day in the life - Gary V said it best, “don’t create, document” and that’s exactly what I mean here. Take your followers on a day in the life of you doing what you do best!
Mini-training/demo - teach your audience something that has to do with your product, service, or niche.
Share tutorial - Show your audience how to do something related to your product/service or niche. (honestly, day 3 and 4 or interchangeable the key here is adding value, educating, and positioning yourself as the expert)
Promote content - promote some FREE content you have, like a reel, popular ig post, or blog post.
Re-share - Highlight some content from creators that you love. Don’t forget to tag them and comment; they might just repost your post!
Run a poll or ask a question - Try and do this every time you have a story at least once but on this day, go for it and do a real survey. It’s also good to preface your audience and tell them what you’re going to do and thank them after.
This or that - Classic polls, great for engagement!
Shout out - Give a shout out to someone that inspires you or just someone special
