36: Planning Your Social Content- The Easy Way

Feeling stuck every time you go to post on social media? Same… 😂 In this quick, cozy episode of Books and Brew, I’m sharing my simple system for planning content without the panic: monthly themes + weekly content buckets (or, if you’re in Authors’ Allies… content cauldrons 💫).You’ll learn how to choose a theme for the month, assign easy “daily prompts” (like Tip Tuesday), and create a go-to list of content ideas you can pull from on those days when inspiration is nowhere to be found. Bonus: this isn’t just for social media—you can repurpose these ideas into emails, blogs, and videos, too.How monthly themes make your content easier to plan (and easier to stick with)A simple way to assign day-of-the-week prompts (Sunday Fun Day, Tip Tuesday, etc.)What “content buckets/cauldrons” are, and how they stop the what do I post?! spiralHow planners and pantsers show up in marketing… and how to support both stylesThe quick repurposing move: post → email → blog → videoMonthly themes like: planning, sales sheets/blurbs, birthday bash, anniversariesWeekly prompts like: Social Sunday, Media Kit Monday, Tip Tuesday, Testimonial TuesdayWant the two planning sheets I mention (monthly themes + content buckets/cauldrons)?
