Calendar Aids and Suggestions for Planning Your 2024 Social Media Posts

Whether you own a business or have other reasons for wanting to have a public profile that will show up in Google searches, it’s wise to choose content carefully and to post regularly. According to WyZow, a good guideline is to follow the 5:3:2 Rule.

“What is the 5:3:2 Rule?

When it comes to social sharing, the 5:3:2 rule is a ratio to follow for a well-rounded social strategy that will keep your fans engaged – and help you build more followers.

So for example, if you publish 10 posts per week then:

5: Should be content from others that is relevant to your audience.

3: Should be content from you that is relevant to your audience, but not sales focused.

2: Should be personal, fun content that helps humanise your brand.”

This rule says that for every six posts you create on your social media channels, four posts should entertain or educate, one post should be a “soft sell” and one post should be a “hard sell.”

It suggests you post 1/3 educational content; 1/3 entertaining content; and 1/3 things directly about what you are promoting (your products, your book, your worthy cause).

I’m about to play a trick on you now. I’m going to take the teachings of Matthew E. May, in his New York Times article, Achieving Mindfulness at Work, No Meditation Cushion Required, and change the utilization of his wisdom. He says,

There are two approaches to mindfulness: Eastern and Western. The Eastern view indeed positions meditation as an essential tool to achieving a mindful state. But the Eastern view is more about quieting the mind and suspending thought. This philosophy is almost the complete opposite of the Western view of mindfulness, which centers on active thinking.

I recommend that you read his whole article, which is thoughtful and well-written. Matthew is the author of a book, entitled, Winning the Brain Game. Let’s explore the above concept a bit first.
