How to turn these 30 ideas into a month of content
- 1
Pick 4 per week
One from each category — education, story, behind the scenes, and engagement. That mix is what keeps a feed from feeling repetitive.
- 2
Batch them in one sitting
Turn each idea into a draft in 20 seconds while you're motivated. Don't write full captions yet — just drop the idea and hook into your calendar.
- 3
Schedule against real peak times
Each platform has windows where posts get seen. Match your drafts to the best time to post instead of posting whenever you remember.
🏡 Realtors pro tip: Map each idea to the neighborhoods you farm. A market update about the wrong zip code is a wasted post — geo-tag it and name the area in the first line.
