Question 1

How does the content calendar generator work?

Accepted Answer

Select your industry and how often you want to post. Our generator creates a 30-day content plan with a balanced mix of educational, promotional, engaging, and behind-the-scenes content — each with specific post ideas and recommended platforms.

Question 2

Can I customize the generated calendar?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Download the CSV file and edit it in any spreadsheet app (Google Sheets, Excel, etc.). You can swap post ideas, change dates, or add your own content. Or import it into ScheduleWave and start scheduling directly.

Question 3

What is the ideal content mix?

Accepted Answer

We recommend the 40-25-20-15 rule: 40% educational content (tips, how-tos), 25% engaging content (polls, questions), 20% behind-the-scenes content, and 15% promotional content. This keeps your audience engaged without feeling like they're being sold to.

Question 4

How often should I post on social media?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the platform and your capacity. A good starting point: Instagram 3-5x/week, LinkedIn 2-3x/week, TikTok daily, X 3-5x/day, Facebook 3-5x/week. Consistency matters more than volume — it's better to post 3x/week consistently than 7x/week for two weeks then nothing.

Question 5

Can I schedule these posts directly with ScheduleWave?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Sign up for a free 7-day trial and you can use our visual calendar to schedule posts to all your social platforms. Write the content, add your images, pick a time, and we'll post it for you automatically.
