This week I am introducing the ‘power hour process’ as a helpful approach. It is designed to speed up the time it takes you to get a weeks worth of social media posts planned and ready to go for your business. As mentioned in the Week 3 video and handout, I’ve got two templates to share with you below. Use the week planner to sketch out your ‘ideal’ week of posts: use this each week to jot down what you want to post about. Use the power hour checklist to help you motor through those social media prep tasks in record time each week. Log your time - and aim to improve each week.
To get started this week, I recommend you have a read of the Week 3 Handout first where I explain things in more detail.
Other resources for Week 3 - as well as the Handout and 2 templates shared below, I’ve also got a handy Longer term planner - page 1 has a calendar for you to keep a note of important dates you want to mark in your social media and page 2 has some suggested sources to check to help inspire you with ideas for popular post topics. Pick the ones that make sense for your audience and business - and fit with your Fab 5. And finally, I’ve got a 5 minute worksheet you can use to prompt you to be clear on ‘what's my purpose on social this week’. Your time is valuable: be sure you’re using it in a way that can make a difference for your business.
Questions: Don’t forget you can post your questions in the Facebook group and/or bring your questions to our live Thursday Q&A session.
My plan for a week of posts
Decide how many posts you want to do, and what channels you want to post on, and create a planner to use each week, to help keep you focused. Click on the ‘get the planner’ link to create your own version in Canva. I’ve done a walk through video below if a demonstration of how to do this would be helpful.
