I create a week's worth of content in 30 minutes. Blog posts, social media, email newsletter—all done in one batch. Here's the exact workflow.
The Old Way (Chaos)
Every day I'd scramble to create content:
- Stare at blank screen
- Write something mediocre
- Make graphics in Canva
- Post to 5 platforms manually
- Repeat tomorrow
Total: 2+ hours daily, inconsistent quality, constant stress.
The New Way (Systemized)
Now I batch everything. One focused session = one week of content.
The 30-Minute Workflow
Step 1: Idea Generation (5 min)
I use Claude with this prompt:
"I'm a [NICHE] expert. Give me 5 content ideas for next week based on trending topics in [INDUSTRY]. Each should have: 1) Attention-grabbing headline 2) Key points to cover 3) Target platform"
Claude generates 5 complete content briefs.
Step 2: Long-Form Content (10 min)
Pick the best idea, then:
"Write a 500-word blog post about [TOPIC]. Include: hook, 3 main points with examples, conclusion with CTA. Tone: conversational but professional."
Claude writes the draft. I edit for 5 minutes. Done.
Step 3: Social Adaptations (5 min)
Take the blog post, then:
"Adapt this blog post for: 1) Twitter thread (5 tweets) 2) LinkedIn post (professional tone) 3) Instagram caption (short + hashtags) 4) Facebook post (community-focused)"
All platform versions created instantly.
Step 4: Visual Creation (5 min)
Use Canva's Magic Design:
- Paste blog text into Canva
- AI generates 5 design options
- Pick best one, tweak colors
- Resize for all platforms (one click)
Step 5: Scheduling (5 min)
Upload to Buffer:
- Add all platform versions
- Attach resized images
- Set optimal times for the week
- Schedule all at once
