Key Takeaways

  • • The biggest killer of LinkedIn growth isn't bad content; it's inconsistency.
  • • If you wake up every morning asking, *"What should I post today?"*, you have already lost.
  • • You rely on willpower, which runs out.
  • • The solution is to separate Planning (Strategy) from Writing (Execution).
  • • In this lesson, we will build a predictable content machine using the Campaign Agent.

The "Sunday Strategy" System

Amateurs write posts one by one. Pros build Campaigns.

Instead of thinking day-to-day, we think in Weekly Sprints.

The Workflow:

  1. Brainstorm (15 mins): Dump raw ideas without judging them.
  2. Select & Map (15 mins): Pick the best ideas and assign them to the 70-20-10 framework (Lesson 2.2).
  3. Drafting (45 mins): Write the rough drafts.
  4. Editing & Scheduling (15 mins): Polish and queue them up.

By doing this once a week (e.g., Sunday evening or Monday morning), you free up your mental energy for engagement and sales during the week.

The 3-Layer Calendar Structure

Your calendar needs to operate on three levels to be effective:

1. The Monthly "Theme" (The North Star)

Pick ONE core topic or offer to focus on for the month. This keeps your messaging tight.

  • Example: "This month is all about SaaS Churn Reduction."
  • Why: When you go deep on one topic for 4 weeks, you become the authority on it.

2. The Weekly Mix (The Rhythm)

This is where we apply the 70-20-10 Rule. A typical high-performing week looks like this:

DayFunnel StageContent TypeGoal
**Mon****ToFu (70%)**Personal Story / MotivationHigh Reach (Start the week strong)
**Tue****MoFu (20%)**"How-To" Carousel / TextAuthority & Saves
**Wed****ToFu (70%)**Contrarian Take / Industry TrendEngagement / Debate
**Thu****BoFu (10%)**Client Win / Case Study**Sales / Leads**
**Fri****MoFu (20%)**Listicle / Tool ReviewValue / Reposts
**Sat/Sun****Optional**Personal / LifestyleHuman Connection

The CreatorHub Advantage: The Campaign Agent

Stop using spreadsheets. The Campaign Agent is your personal strategist.

1. The Auto-Calendar Generator:

  • Action: Go to the Campaign Agent tab.
  • Input: Set your Monthly Theme (e.g., "AI Marketing") and your Goal (e.g., "Authority").
  • Magic: The AI will populate a calendar with specific post ideas tailored to that goal, ensuring you don't miss the 70-20-10 balance.

2. The Kanban Planner:

Visualizing your workflow reduces anxiety.

  • Columns: Ideas Drafting Ready to Schedule Published.
  • Action: Drag and drop cards. Seeing a full "Ready to Schedule" column gives you peace of mind.

3. Success Prediction:

  • Feature: Before you commit to a topic, the AI analyzes past performance to predict: "High probability of engagement" or "Low probability." This helps you kill bad ideas before you write them.

Examples: A "Theme" in Action

Theme: "Remote Leadership"

  • Mon (ToFu): "Why I fired my best employee (They refused to turn on their camera)." [Controversial Hook]
  • Tue (MoFu): "5 Tools to manage a remote team without micromanaging." [Carousel]
  • Thu (BoFu): "We just helped Company X save 20 hours/week with our Remote OS. DM me 'REMOTE' for the case study." [Direct Offer]

Actionable Steps (Homework)

Pick Your Theme

Decide what you want to be known for *next month*. Write it down.

The "Brain Dump"

Open the CreatorHub Kanban Planner (or a notepad). Set a timer for 10 minutes. Write down 10 headlines related to your theme. Do not critique them yet.

Assign the Slots

Drag your 5 best headlines into the Monday-Friday slots on the calendar. Ensure you have at least one BoFu (Sales) post on Thursday.

Schedule Time

Block out 1 hour on your actual Google/Outlook calendar for "Content Creation" this Sunday.
