The Easiest Social Media Calendar for Coaches Who Don’t Want to Post Every Day

You don’t need to post every day. You don’t even need to be everywhere. What you do need is a repeatable structure that helps you show up, stay consistent, and connect with the people who need you most.

In this post, I’ll walk you through a super simple 3-step content calendar, plus the exact 5 steps to follow every time you post.

Part 1: 3-Step Content Calendar Creation Process

Step 1: Pick 3 Content Pillars

Choose three categories that reflect your coaching mission and message. Example:

  • 🌟 Client Wins / Testimonials
  • 🎓 Tips & Teachings
  • 🧠 Behind-the-Scenes / Mindset / You Stories

Step 2: Assign a Theme to Each Weekday

Pick 2–3 days a week to post. Be consistent. For example:

  • • Monday – Teach Something (Tips & Teachings)
  • • Wednesday – Share a Client Win
  • • Friday – Share a Personal Insight or Behind-the-Scenes

Step 3: Create a Monthly Calendar Template

Sketch out 4 weeks with these themes and brainstorm post ideas. Example:

  • • Week 1 Monday: “3 Mistakes New Clients Make”
  • • Week 1 Wednesday: “Meet Sarah – She Doubled Her Income”
  • • Week 1 Friday: “What I Struggled With Last Year (and What Changed)”

📲 Part 2: 5 (or Fewer) Steps to Follow Every Time You Post

1. Hook Them In
Start with a bold statement, question, or relatable moment.

2. Deliver the Value
Teach something, inspire, or share a story that fits the day’s theme.

3. Add a CTA (Call to Action)
Ask a question, invite comments, or link to a freebie/program/call.

4. Use a Consistent Format
Keep your tone, visuals, and hashtags consistent to build trust and brand.

5. Post It – Don’t Overthink It
Done is better than perfect. Hit publish and move on.

You need video — I’m your guy

Hi, I’m Matt Kjar- an Emmy award winning photographer and producer who found coaching when I was going through my own existential expansion, (watch more about that here) and knew that coaching was, well, life-changing.

I had over 20 years of experience working in television, interviewing celebrities, working with the Olympics, and telling people’s stories, but this was different. Coaching felt more mind-bending than what I’d experienced before, and I knew I had to help get this work out into the world.
