Lesson 4 of 8
Scheduling: posting consistently without burning out
Learning objectives
- Batch and schedule a week of content in one sitting
- Pick a cadence you can sustain for 12 weeks
- Remove the daily 'what do I post?' decision
- Decide what stays scheduled vs what stays live
Consistency beats frequency
3 posts a week for 12 weeks beats 7 posts a week for 3 weeks every time. The algorithm rewards rhythm. So do humans.
Pick a cadence you can hit on your worst week, not your best one.
Batch one block per week
Block 60–90 minutes once a week. Write or record everything for the next 7 days in that block. Use the Post Scheduler to queue them. Treat unbatched content as the exception, not the default.
Scheduled vs live
Scheduled: posts, carousels, Reels, blog. Live: Stories, comments, DMs, replies. Don't try to 'be live' on everything — you'll burn out by week 3.
Founder insight — Derrick Twum
Most coaches don't have a content problem — they have a calendar problem. Fix the block, not the post.
Key takeaway
Batch once, schedule the week, stay live only where it matters.

Action task
Book a 90-minute recurring 'Marketing batch' block in your calendar for the next 4 weeks. Non-negotiable.
