More on timingHow to use your calendar
Treat it as a starting point: swap ideas to fit what's happening, batch-write a week at a time, and schedule them so they go out on time.
Mix your content
A healthy mix: about half helpful (tips, how-tos, answers), a quarter behind-the-scenes and stories, and a quarter promotion (offers, events, products).
