How to use the generator

  1. Step 1: Name your pillars

    Swap the examples for three to five themes and give each a share.

  2. Step 2: Set your rhythm

    Pick your posting days and posts per day. Start lower than you think.

  3. Step 3: Balance the formats

    Move the sliders for single posts, threads, images and polls.

  4. Step 4: Download and write

    Save the month as a CSV or an .ics calendar file, then fill the slots.

How to choose your content pillars

A pillar is a theme you return to again and again. It saves you from the blank box and teaches readers what to expect from you.

  • Test 1

    You could write ten posts on it today

    If not, it is a topic, not a pillar.

  • Test 2

    Someone you want to reach cares

    Map each pillar to a reader and what they get.

  • Test 3

    It leads somewhere

    At least one pillar connects to what you sell or build.

An example weighting. Teaching usually earns the largest share; opinions and stories keep the account human.

  • Teach40%

    How to guides, tips, mistakes to avoid.

    e.g. How you price a new plan.

  • Show the work25%

    Behind the scenes, numbers, builds in progress.

    e.g. This week's support queue and what it taught you.

  • Take a position20%

    Opinions on your field, argued with reasons.

    e.g. Why you stopped offering annual discounts.

  • Prove it15%

    Customer stories and results in their words.

    e.g. How one customer cut reporting time.

A library of posting cadences

Each pattern can be set with the posting days and posts per day controls. Choose the one you can keep up for three months.

  • Three a week starter

    3 a week

    New accounts building a habit

    Watch: long gaps; make each post count

  • Tuesday and Thursday deep dives

    2 a week

    Experts writing long threads

    Watch: set threads to half the mix or more

  • Weekday operator

    5 a week

    Most business accounts

    Watch: weekends go quiet

  • Daily operator

    7 a week

    Personal brands, weekend readers

    Watch: needs a buffer of drafts

  • Weekday launch

    10 a week

    A launch or big announcement

    Watch: one or two weeks, then step down

  • Two a day builder

    14 a week

    Teams or a daily news beat

    Watch: quality slips first

22 posts, one per weekday

Pillars land close to their share, spread evenly so none bunches up

  • How to guides9
  • Behind the scenes6
  • Opinions4
  • Customer stories3

The white tick is each pillar's target share.

Formats follow the mix. Check threads fall on days you have time.

  • 11 single posts
  • 5 threads
  • 4 images
  • 2 polls

Every slot comes with a starting angle, like "Breakdown of a result". Treat it as a prompt, not a rule.

Turn one idea into four posts

One good idea can fill several slots in different formats, spread over a few weeks so it never feels repeated.

We cut onboarding from seven steps to three

  1. Thread Week 1

    The full story

    The seven steps, the four you cut, and what happened to signups.

  2. Image Week 1, two days later

    The before and after

    Two screenshots side by side, one line of caption.

  3. Single post Week 2

    The lesson

    Every step you add needs a reason a new user would agree with.

  4. Poll Week 3

    The question

    How many steps does your onboarding have? Four ranges.

Each version must add something new: X's rules discourage repetitive content. Unsure if two are too close? Try the duplicate post checker.

Content calendar questions

What is a content calendar for X?
A plan of what you will post and when, usually a month at a time. Each slot has a date, a time, a theme and a format, so you know what a post is for before you write it.
How many content pillars should I have?
Three to five suits most accounts. Fewer gets repetitive; more makes it hard for readers to remember what you are about. You can rotate a pillar out next month.
How often should I post on X?
As often as you can keep up with quality for months. Three posts a week you never miss beat two a day that stop after a fortnight. Add a day once your rhythm feels routine.
How do I import the calendar file?
Download the .ics file. In Google Calendar use Settings, then Import. In Apple Calendar use File, then Import. In Outlook use Add calendar, then Upload from file. Each slot becomes a 15 minute event.
Why are the times in the calendar file fixed?
They are placeholders so each slot has a place in your day. They are saved without a time zone, so they appear at that local time wherever you open them. Move them to suit your audience.
Does the generator write the posts for me?
No. It plans the month and suggests an angle per slot; you write the posts. Kairo Post can draft them in your voice and schedule them, with your approval before anything goes out.
Is my plan stored anywhere?
No. The generator runs in your browser with no sign up and no cost, and files are created on your device. The plan is gone when you close the page unless you download it.
