Most small businesses post in bursts: five posts one week, nothing for a month. Algorithms and customers both reward steady activity, so a routine you can actually keep matters more than a perfect plan.
Pick two platforms, not six
Go where your customers already are. For many businesses in Ghana that means WhatsApp Status plus Facebook or TikTok; for US service businesses it is often Facebook, Instagram and Google Business Profile. Do two well before adding a third.
A simple weekly rhythm
- Monday – plan: choose three topics for the week and gather photos or clips.
- Tuesday – teach: a tip, a how-to or an answer to a common customer question.
- Thursday – show: a product, a finished job, or behind the scenes.
- Saturday – prove: a review, a testimonial or a before-and-after.
- Every day – reply: ten minutes answering comments and messages.
Batch your content
Create the week’s posts in one sitting and schedule them with Meta Business Suite or a similar tool. One focused hour beats seven distracted ten-minute sessions.
Measure one thing each month
Followers are a weak signal. Track something tied to business: messages received, website visits from social, or bookings. Keep what drives that number and drop what does not.
