Fragmented social media management is an old stack approach. Most businesses were early using separate tools for every section of post.

On a total, 14 hours were spent every week by small scale businesses across the globe. It was not a sustainable approach for a small business managed by one or two people. Small businesses need a simple and effective social media post creation method where they spend less time creating the most effective posts. Along with post creation, they must schedule the post in the calendar for a month. By doing so, they will be able to concentrate more on sales while marketing is happening side by side.

What if I tell these small-scale businesses that it is possible to do one month of social media marketing for their products and services in less than 2 hours.

Yes, indzu social is the tool that will make your marketing a breeze.

In this blog, let me show you how to create a month worth of content for your brand in less than 2 hours using indzu social along with the initial set-up and other tasks. For the next month, you will spend less than 30 minutes only.

Step 2: Create your Content Pillars (15 minutes)

Content pillars are the recurring themes that a brand can use to create content regularly. It avoids the content paralysis and makes a solid foundation for the content calendar.

Here are a few examples for content calendar:

  1. Product Highlights: If you are a brand with multiple products, product highlights is the top beneficial content pillar.
  2. Educational Content: FAQS, how to posts and Tips are much useful and sharing them once a week will bring more traffic to your brand.
  3. Social Proof: Like me, everyone expects a good rating and review for products and services. Hence plan to share UGC, testimonials and reviews once per week in the content calendar.
  4. Brand Personality: Memes, behind-the-scenes content and team moments are the best thins of any band. Don’t miss this in the content calendar.
  5. Promotions: product sales, offers and event posts will hit the customers differently as the end results are the same.

In the indzu social dashboard, you can add the blog topics and type of posts that you need are clearly entered under the brand section. Once updated, create posts by clicking “quick generate” under AI posts.
