A content calendar stops the daily “what do I post?” problem. For coaches, the goal isn’t just consistency. It’s a mix of content that attracts the right people, builds trust and makes your offer clear, planned far enough ahead that you can batch-record it.
The short answer: plan one month at a time around 3–4 content types (problem, method, proof, offer), fill it with topics from real client questions, record in one or two batches, and review what led to conversations, not just views, at the end of the month.
A simple monthly template
| Week | Post 1 | Post 2 | Post 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Problem: signs your client is stuck | Method: step 1 of your process | Client story (with permission) |
| Week 2 | Myth your niche believes | How-to: a quick win | Q&A from a real client question |
| Week 3 | Mistake you see often | Method: step 2 | Behind the scenes of your work |
| Week 4 | Opinion: where you disagree | How-to: second quick win | Offer: how to work with you |
Three posts a week is a sustainable starting point for most coaches. Increase only when you can keep quality. See how many Reels per week coaches should post.
The content mix
| Type | Job | Share of posts |
|---|---|---|
| Problem and myth | Attract the right viewers | About 30% |
| Method and how-to | Show how you think | About 35% |
| Proof | Build trust | About 20% |
| Offer | Make the next step clear | About 15% |
These shares are a starting point, not a rule. Adjust based on what starts conversations.
Where to find topics
- Questions from sales calls and DMs.
- Objections people raise before buying.
- Mistakes you see in new clients.
- Comments on your own and competitors’ posts.
- Your method, broken into small steps.
From calendar to published
- Pick topics for the month (30 minutes).
- Write short scripts or bullet points.
- Batch-record in one sitting (see how to batch-record).
- Edit, add captions and covers.
- Schedule across platforms.
- Review monthly: which posts led to DMs and calls?
Tools
A spreadsheet or Notion board works fine. What matters is that every row has a topic, a hook, a call to action and a publish date.
