A month of content calendar in five minutes

Posting without defined pillars produces a feed that accumulates nothing: every post starts from zero and the audience never associates you with a topic. Define three to five pillars, mark your days, and the calendar comes out balanced with a format and an angle assigned to each slot.

Why it exists

What to agree on before publishing anything

Who answers messages, during which hours, and what happens outside them. It is the number one source of conflict in social media and it is almost never put in writing. A flawless feed with messages unanswered for three days is worse than not posting.

Approve in fortnightly batches, not post by post. Approving one by one consumes more hours than producing them and multiplies the dead time waiting for replies.

Who produces the raw material: photos of the place, video of the process, new products. Without that task assigned, the calendar fills with generic graphics by week two. One agreement that works is a monthly capture session with a shot list built from the calendar — which is why it helps to generate it first.

Questions

What people usually ask

No, and that is deliberate. A calendar full of generated text shows, and on social that costs more than posting less. What it solves is the blank page of "what do I post about this month?" and the imbalance you only notice once the month is over. The hook comes from whoever knows the business.

Did you get a number you did not expect?

Send it over and I will tell you what I would do with that case in the first 30 days, with nothing to hire. If the honest answer is that you do not need an agency yet, I will tell you that too.
