Questions and answers
How often should a small business post?
Often enough to stay seen, and no more than you can keep up. Two or three good posts a week is a sensible start; it is better to post steadily than to post every day for a week and then stop.
Do the ideas work on every network?
Yes. Each idea suggests a photo, a short video or a carousel. Photos suit Facebook and Instagram; short videos work on all four, including TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
Is anything I choose sent to you?
No. The plan is made in your browser from a list written for each kind of business.
