You sit down to post. Your mind goes blank.
"What do I write today?"
You stare at the screen. 20 minutes pass. You give up.
Three weeks later, you haven't posted anything.
Your audience disappears. Your engagement drops. Your business stalls.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone. 78% of coaches struggle with consistent content. The reason isn't laziness — it's lack of a system.
This guide gives you the system.
Why Most Content Strategies Fail
Most coaches try one of these:
❌ Post when inspired = inconsistent, dies in 2 weeks
❌ Repurpose old content = audience gets bored
❌ Copy competitors = sounds generic, doesn't convert
❌ Hire someone = expensive, doesn't sound like you
What works: A repeatable content framework you fill in weekly.
The 7-Day Content Framework
Every week, post one of each:
Monday: Authority Post
Show your expertise. Share insight, framework, or hot take.
Example: "The 3 reasons your LinkedIn isn't getting clients (and how to fix each one)"
Tuesday: Story Post
Share a personal story, client transformation, or behind-the-scenes.
Example: "Last year I was making $40K. This year I'll cross $250K. Here's the one shift that changed everything..."
Wednesday: Question Post
Ask your audience a question. Get engagement, learn what they want.
Example: "What's the #1 thing holding you back from charging premium prices?"
Thursday: Educational Post
Teach something specific. Step-by-step, list, or framework.
Example: "5 ways to attract premium clients (without dropping your price)"
Friday: Social Proof Post
Share a client win, testimonial, or case study.
Example: "Sarah went from $5K months to $25K months in 90 days. Here's exactly how..."
Saturday: Personal Post
Show your humanity. Hobbies, weekend plans, personal wins.
Example: "Took the kids to the lake today. Reminded me why I built a business that gives me time freedom."
Sunday: Reflection Post
Weekly reflection, lessons learned, or goal-setting.
Example: "5 things I learned this week (that you might find useful)"
