AI Prompts for Social Media: Create a Month of Content in One Day
Social media demands constant content. The most successful creators aren't working harder—they're using AI smarter. Here's how to create 30 days of content in a single focused session.
The Content Batching System
Instead of creating content daily, batch your creation into focused sessions. AI makes this not just possible, but highly effective.
The Process
- Strategy Session (1 hour): Define themes, goals, and content mix
- Content Generation (3 hours): Create all posts using AI assistance
- Visual Creation (2 hours): Generate images and graphics
- Scheduling (1 hour): Load everything into your scheduler
Total: 7 hours for 30 days of content
