How to plan a month of content in one afternoon

1 min readBy Golden Ideas Marketing

Keeping a feed posting every week sounds like a daily job. The honest answer: don’t plan daily. Plan monthly, in one sitting.

  1. Start with the calendar. Launches, specials, school holidays and public holidays. Golf Carts & All’s Heritage Day post was planned weeks before the day.
  2. Pick three or four content pillars. A reliable set: show it, explain it, prove it, invite people in.
  3. Fill the grid. Drop the pillars into the month so no week is all sales and no week is all fluff.
  4. Batch the design. Design every post for the month in one go, using the same templates and colours.
  5. Write the captions in one go. You’ll write faster and sound more like yourself.
  6. Schedule, and leave gaps. Keep a little room for real-time moments and fresh photos.

The best shortcut

Keep a running note of every question a customer asks you. Every one of them is a post. Magnesium Café’s feed is built on exactly that: plain-language answers to the questions people already have.
