Posting Cadence and Consistency
Consistent cadence > sporadic high volume. Match cadence to your production capacity. Underpromise and overdeliver.
Cadence by platform
Sustainable cadences for solo creator:
- YouTube long-form: 1-2/week
- YouTube Shorts: 5-7/week (algorithm favors)
- TikTok: 1-3/day
- Instagram feed: 3-5/week
- Instagram Reels: 3-7/week
- Instagram Stories: daily (1-5 posts)
- LinkedIn: 3-5/week
- Twitter/X: 3-10/day
- Threads: 1-5/day
- Email newsletter: weekly
Volume vs depth tradeoff
- Low volume + high depth (1 YouTube long-form/week, 2,000+ words) — authority signal
- High volume + medium depth (5 TikToks/day) — discovery signal
- High volume + low depth — algorithm friendly but no brand depth
Ideal: high-volume + medium-depth across platforms + 1-2 deep flagship pieces.
Maintaining consistency
- Content calendar — plan 30-90 days ahead
- Batching — produce in bulk
- Backup content — buffer 2-4 weeks ahead
- Recycling — old content repurposed
- Schedule — use Buffer, Hootsuite, or platform-native
- Team / virtual assistant — when scaling
