A Social Media Content Calendar That Works for Solopreneurs

By Kodenark
Every morning used to start with the same dread: "What am I posting today?" Between my day job and side projects, I'd often forget to post for days. Then I'd panic-post something random. Not a great strategy.
The Solopreneur's Content Dilemma
Here's the thing - content calendars are great in theory. But most advice assumes you have hours to plan, create, and strategize. When you're juggling a full-time job and building on the side, you need something simpler.
My Dead-Simple Calendar Approach
I keep it ridiculously simple:
-
Pick 3 topics I can talk about:
For me: coding tips, solopreneur struggles, and product updates
-
Rotate them weekly:
Monday = coding, Wednesday = solopreneur life, Friday = product stuff
-
Use AI when stuck:
PostQuickAI generates ideas when my brain is fried from work
The Calendar Tool That Actually Gets Used
I built PostQuickAI's calendar view because I needed to see what was going out at a glance. No complex features, just a simple calendar showing what posts when. That's it.
The best part? I can schedule posts for the entire month in about an hour on Sunday. Then I don't think about it again.
The Reality of Content Planning
You don't need a complex content strategy. You need:
- A simple system you'll actually use
- Tools that save time, not create work
- The ability to set it and forget it
My content isn't winning awards. But it's consistent, it's out there, and it's building my audience while I focus on my actual work. For a solopreneur, that's a win.
