Most people post, look at the likes and post again. This course closes the loop: you decide what you want, plan the month, post on a steady rhythm, read what happened and use it to plan the next month.

Five lessons. Lessons 1 to 3 set the loop up once. Lessons 4 and 5 are your monthly review, and you repeat them every month. The details of planning a month, like pillars, batching and the calendar, are in Plan a month in an hour, and this course links to it where it matters. You need a Postfjord account with at least one channel connected. Results take a few weeks to show, so the review makes most sense after you have posted for a month.

When you finish: one written goal with a number, a plan and rhythm in Strategy, and a first monthly review that changes one thing in next month's plan.
