Basic · Lesson 7 of 8
A posting rhythm you can keep
8 min
By the end you will
Set a schedule you can sustain for months, not weeks.
Sustainable beats intense
Three good posts a week for a year beats daily posts for a month. Pick a rhythm you can keep in a busy week, not your best week.
Batch, then schedule
Write a week of posts in one sitting, schedule them, then spend the rest of the week replying and learning. Switching between creating and posting every day is what burns people out.
Show up in the comments
The first hour after a post is a good time to reply to comments. Conversation is part of posting, not an extra.
Common mistakes
- Starting with a pace you cannot keep.
- Writing and posting on the same day, every day.
- Posting and never replying.
Checklist
