Academy / Plan a month in an hour
Lesson 5 of 5 · 5 min
Put the month in the calendar
Quick recallWhy post the same idea again in another shape?Think of your answer, then open.
Most followers did not see it the first time. A second shape gives a good idea a second chance to be seen.
You have pillars, a rhythm and a batch of drafts. Now give each draft a day and a time, so the month runs while you work.
Place the batch
- Open the Calendar in month view to see four weeks at once.
- Open each draft and give it the day and time from your rhythm. Tuesday's tip goes on a Tuesday.
- Switch to week view to check the times. Press + next to a day to start a post on it. It starts at 9:00; change the time in the composer.
Leave the free slot empty. It is for what you cannot plan.
Fill a thin week, and change plans
Press Plan next week. Postfjord proposes posts from your brand voice, pillars, open ideas and what worked before. Press Approve or Skip on each, then Apply. Discard plan throws the week away and creates nothing.
When a class is cancelled, drag a scheduled post to another day and it keeps its time. To stop a post, open it and press Cancel schedule: it moves to Drafts under the small word Posts in the Calendar, marked Cancelled.
Next month
Put next month's hour in your own calendar now. Or ask Bo: press the three dots at the top of the chat, then Routines, then Add a routine, choose once a month and write "Look at last month's posts, tell me which pillar did best and write three drafts from my open ideas." A routine writes drafts and never publishes.
Do it
- Open the calendar in month view.
- Give every draft its day and time.
- Press Plan next week for any thin week.
- Book next month's hour.
