Chapter 14 — Social Media Strategy — Build Your Presence Without the Anxiety
Prompt 39 Monthly Content Calendar Builder
Posting without a plan usually means not posting at all: the week the gallery is due, the grid goes dark for a month. This prompt builds the month in one pass. A wedding photographer feeds it real bookings, seasonal notes, past galleries, and the promotions worth running, and it returns a content calendar: post types by week, captions in the studio voice, hashtags scoped to each venue, and the reminders that shouldn't wait. It front-loads the content that matches what's happening in the business — which is the only content that doesn't feel like filler to the couples who see it.
- Batch-plan on the first day of the month.
- Leave 2–3 slots open for reactive content.
A 4-week content calendar aligned to your business goals.
