Planning process 

As a first step you should list out the topics you can commit to post in the weeks ahead.

Next, you need to match each content with social media platforms that you wish to post on. It is important for you to know which platform is right for each of your content.

For instance, Instagram is ideal for image-based content, short videos, etc., while Facebook is more like Instagram, it is great for sharing the blog posts as well.

With LinkedIn, you could post mix of certain content types. You can breakdown complex concepts into simple bite sized information and post it on LinkedIn as image carousels. When you post in this way, the information is easily digestible.

Short text posts with inspiring or insightful content also work well on LinkedIn.

In Twitter you can post anything that is in short form. This social platform allows you to share images, videos, external links openly.

Finalizing the days and social handles 

You need to publish content consistently. This will get you tons of loyal engagement from your audience.

It is good to publish blog posts twice a week, video content once a week.

Predetermine the platforms and publishing date for each content, and then schedule your posts accordingly.

Concluding thoughts 

You should maintain the database of your ideas and pre-conceptualized topics. By doing so, you can make sure that nothing is stopping you from posting content at any point in time – be it procrastination or your health condition.

And while planning your content, do not worry about how you are going to create it, just focus on recording your ideas.

Also remember, whenever you are using a third-party content or quote, you must cite the source.
