Why this prompt works

Consistency is the hardest part of social, and it comes from planning. This prompt produces a balanced calendar with pillars, formats, and hooks, applying the value-to-promo ratio that keeps audiences engaged instead of tuning out ads.

How to customize it

Keep promo posts to ~25% so the feed stays valuable.
Batch-create content from the calendar to stay consistent.
Adapt each idea to the platform it's posted on.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
