Authority Post

[TOPIC] isn't as complicated as people make it.

Here's the framework I use:

30-Day Posting Schedule (Twitter/X)

Day Post Type Template Category Notes
Mon Thread (5-8 tweets) Education Deep-dive on one topic
Tue Single tweet Engagement Question or hot take
Wed Quote tweet + commentary Authority React to industry news
Thu Story tweet Storytelling Personal experience
Fri List tweet Education "[NUMBER] tools/tips for [TOPIC]"
Sat Repost best performer Share your top tweet from the week
Sun Reflection / question Community Ask your audience something

Repeat weekly. Rotate topics to avoid repetition.

Hashtag Quick Reference

Platform Max Hashtags Best Practice
Twitter/X 2-3 Less is more — 1-2 targeted
LinkedIn 3-5 Mix broad + niche, end of post
Instagram 5-15 Mix size tiers, first comment
Threads 0-2 Very sparingly, inline only

Use 3 tiers: Large (100K+ posts, broad reach), Medium (10K-100K, niche), Small (1K-10K, targeted). Mix tiers per post for optimal reach vs. discoverability.

Usage Tips

  • Batch-create a week of content in 60-90 minutes. Fill 7 templates, schedule, and forget.
  • Customize every template. The framework is the skeleton — your voice and expertise are the flesh.
  • Post consistently before posting frequently. 3 great posts/week beats 3 mediocre posts/day.
  • Engage 15 minutes before and after posting. The algorithm rewards active users.

Best Practices

  1. Lead with value, not promotion. Follow the 80/20 rule — 80% value, 20% promotional.
  2. Use the first line as a hook. On every platform, you have 1-2 seconds to stop the scroll.
  3. Repurpose across platforms but reformat. A LinkedIn post is not a tweet. Adapt the template per platform.
  4. Track your top 5 posts monthly. Identify what content type and topic resonates — double down.
  5. Engage on others' posts as much as you create. Commenting builds relationships that sharing alone can't.
