Your May Posting Plan: A Burnout-Free Strategy to Grow on Social

The month of May is just around the corner—which means it’s the perfect time to refresh your strategy and show up with purpose on social media. If you’re a team leader or small biz owner who’s been feeling stuck, scattered, or just plain over it when it comes to content... this one’s for you.

We’re keeping it simple. This is an easy-to-follow posting plan based on what’s actually working for real growth right now—straight from the success of our amazing BNB clients.

Why This Works (And Why You’ll Love It)

Here’s the deal: consistency doesn’t mean more, it means smarter. This plan is designed to help you:

✅ Trade hustle for strategy
You don’t need to be everywhere, every day. You need a system that works while you’re living your life.

✅ Ditch the social anxiety
No more staring at a blinking cursor. When you know what to post and when, social media becomes so much lighter.

✅ Make space for creativity (and real results)
Posting with intention opens up space for inspiration—and frees you from the cycle of stress and burnout.

Your May Posting Strategy (No Guessing Required)

Here’s the breakdown of what to post, and how often, to stay visible, valuable, and connected with your audience:

🔹 Reels: 3–4 per week
Quick, scroll-stopping, and packed with value. These are your top tool for new audience growth.

🔹 Carousels: 2 per week
Use these to teach, share lists, or tell stories. They’re perfect for boosting saves, shares, and engagement.

🔹 Stories: Daily (but make it doable!)
Think simple check-ins, behind-the-scenes, quick tips, or polls. You don’t need a script—just real connection.

🔹 Lives: 1–2 this month
Lives build deep trust. It can be a 10-minute chat, a mini training, or even a Q&A session with your audience.

🔹 Static posts: 1 per week
Use these for powerful quotes, client wins, or quick takeaways that build your brand credibility.

Pro Tips to Make It Sustainable

✔ Batch your content: Record Reels on one “content day.”
✔ Use templates + themes: Repeat what works. Consistency is creativity.
✔ Take rest days: You’re allowed to take social-free days each week. We promise, your audience will still be there.
✔ Repurpose smart: Your audience doesn’t remember every post. Reuse your gold.

And If You’re Still Like “I Can’t Even…”
