Plan a month of posts on one page

A fill-in template for a local business: three post types, a weekly rhythm, and one week filled in for a bakery.

Deciding what to post every morning is what makes posting feel like a second job. Decide once a month instead. This page takes about 30 minutes to fill in.

Step 1: four lists (15 minutes)

Write these down before you plan any dates.

ListWrite 4 of each
Products or servicesThe ones you want to sell more of this month
Questions customers askWord for word, from the counter, phone or DMs
DatesHolidays, local events, your own changes (new hours, new staff)
Things you can film this weekReal, available, no props needed

Step 2: three post types

TypeJobExample
ProductOne item, one detailCrust close-up of the rye loaf
ProofShow it works or that people like itA review you have permission to share
PeopleWho makes it and how5:30, the first batch

Add one offer post a month at most. Most posts should be useful or interesting on their own.

Step 3: the weekly rhythm

DayType
MondayProduct
WednesdayProof
FridayPeople
Sunday (optional)Practical: hours, events, reminders

Three posts a week is a rhythm a one-person business can keep. If you can only do two, drop Wednesday.

Step 4: fill the grid

WeekMonday: productWednesday: proofFriday: peopleSunday

Example: week 1 for a bakery

This is an illustration, not a real shop.

DayPostCaption first line
MondayRye loaf, crust close-upRye loaf out of the oven at 7:40.
WednesdayA regular's note (asked first)"Is it gluten-free?" Three of our breads are.
Friday5:30, the first batchWhat happens before we open the door.
SundayWeekend hours, pinnedOpen 8-13 on Sunday.

Step 5: ten minutes a week to keep it alive

  • Monday: check this week's three posts are ready.
  • After each post: write one result next to it (saves, shares, comments, a customer who mentioned it).
  • End of month: keep the post types that got saved or shared, change the rest.
