How to Create Consistent Content using this 3 STEP CONTENT PLAN!
When you’re juggling a business, clients, and, well, life, sticking to a content plan can feel impossible. You start the week with good intentions, but by Wednesday, you're either staring at a blank screen, overthinking your content, or scrambling to find the right image. Sound familiar?
You’re not alone. The problem isn’t you—it’s the lack of a simple content creation system that makes posting easier and more sustainable.
Today, I’m breaking down the #1 social media posting strategy that has helped me batch create content, stay consistent, and never run out of content ideas—all without burnout. And the best part? You can start using this system today!
Why Posting Consistently Feels So Hard
Before we dive into solutions, let’s address the biggest roadblocks that make creating consistent content feel like an uphill battle:
🚫 You don’t have a content plan – If you’re starting from scratch every time you sit down to post, you’re setting yourself up for frustration. Without a clear content strategy, posting becomes overwhelming and inconsistent.
🚫 You waste too much time searching for the perfect image – The Canva rabbit hole is REAL. While having access to thousands of stock photos is great, too many choices can lead to decision fatigue, slowing you down instead of helping you implement your content plan ideas efficiently.
🚫 You overthink every caption – Instead of focusing on connection and clarity, you get stuck trying to make every post sound ‘perfect.’ This perfectionism leads to procrastination and missed opportunities in your social media posting strategy.
🚫 You feel like you HAVE to post every day – The pressure to show up daily can quickly lead to burnout. But the truth is, posting consistently isn’t about posting more—it’s about posting smarter by using a batch content creation system.
The good news?
Creating consistent content doesn’t mean spending hours every day brainstorming, designing, and writing. When you have a repeatable content plan in place, posting becomes easier, quicker, and more effective—without the stress.
✨ In the next section, I’ll show you how to build a streamlined content strategy that saves you time while keeping your audience engaged. Let’s simplify this process together!The Simple 3-Step System to Posting Consistently
Step 1: Pick Your Core Content Pillars
One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is not having a clear focus for their content. Every time you sit down to post, you’re scrambling for an idea, which makes the process exhausting.
The fix? Pick 3-5 topics that your brand will always talk about—these are your content pillars.
For example:
A Social Media Manager → Instagram tips, content strategy, client management.
A Life Coach → Mindset, self-care, goal setting.
A Virtual Assistant → Productivity hacks, business organization, client onboarding.
A Brand Designer → Branding tips, design strategies, color psychology.
Once you have your pillars, every post you create will fall under one of these categories—no more guessing!

Step 2: Use Stock Photos & Templates to Cut Content Time in Half
Now that you know WHAT to post, let’s talk about HOW to create content without spending hours on it.
One of the biggest time-wasters? Searching for the perfect image or designing graphics from scratch.
🚀 Here’s how to speed up content creation:
Batch select 20-30 stock photos that fit your brand’s vibe and keep them in a folder.
Use pre-made Canva templates for your posts (instead of designing from scratch).
Create a caption bank so you’re never writing from a blank page.
💡 Example: A wellness coach could keep a folder of calming, lifestyle-inspired stock photos for self-care posts. A real estate agent might have images of stylish homes ready to go for listing posts. Having these on hand eliminates last-minute scrambling.

Step 3: Batch & Schedule Your Content
Imagine sitting down ONCE a week, planning out your short-term (social media) and long-term (blogs, emails, videos) content, and then not having to think about it again. That’s the power of batching!
Here’s how you can batch content in just over an hour:
✅ 15 Min – Plan Topics & Choose Visuals (Pick 3-5 topics, grab images from a ready-to-use folder)
✅ 20 Min – Design Graphics in Canva (Super quick when using pre-made templates)
✅ 30 Min – Write Captions, Draft Blog/Email & Schedule (She Bold Stock caption prompts got you covered when you're stuck 😉)
⏳ TOTAL TIME: 65 Minutes!
Now your content is done for the week—no stress, no scrambling! 🎉
💡 Example: A business coach could schedule three posts a week—one client success story, one behind-the-scenes look at their coaching process, and one valuable tip or insight (blog, video, or podcast). By batching content, they stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed! 🚀
Common Content Struggles & How to Fix Them
🙋♀️ “I never know what to post!” ➡ Solution: Go back to your content pillars. If you have 3-5 topics, you’ll never run out of ideas.
🙋♀️ “I spend too much time creating content.” ➡ Solution: Use stock photos, Canva templates, and batch your work!
🙋♀️ “I feel like I’m repeating myself.” ➡ Solution: That’s actually GOOD. Repetition builds trust—your audience needs to hear your message multiple times before it sticks.

The key to posting consistently isn’t about working harder—it’s about having the right tools and a strategy that makes content easy.
