The 3-Pillar Content Mix
Educate, Relate, Sell: rotate three pillars and you never run out of post ideas.
The three-pillar mix stops the blank-page problem: every post is either Educate, Relate, or Sell. You do not need a new idea each time: rotate pillars and reuse your product URL generator from Turn a Product Link Into a Week of Posts.
Why It Matters
Rotating content types keeps your audience engaged and your brand top of mind. Get Shouting can generate Enagement and Sales-oriented posts from your existing products, blog posts, and URLs.
What to Do
- Rotate Educate (tips, how-tos), Relate (behind-the-scenes, your story), Sell (product, reviews, offers).
- Aim for short-form video 3-5x/week and static/carousel 2-3x/week if you can sustain it.
- Consistency beats hitting every number: thoughtful posting beats constant posting.
