Struggling With What to Post?
If you find yourself staring at a blank screen wondering what to post next — you’re not alone. Creating fresh content every day can feel exhausting. That’s why smart marketers use Content Buckets.
Think of content buckets like a water tank at home. If there’s a water shortage, we fill buckets in advance so we don’t run out later. Similarly, content buckets help you collect and store ideas in advance — so you’re never stuck when it’s time to post.
What Are Content Buckets?
Imagine there’s a water cut — you store water in buckets ahead of time to stay prepared, right?
Content buckets work the same way. Instead of scrambling for a post idea every day, you categorize your content themes and keep each one “filled” with post-ready ideas.
When it’s time to post? Just pick from the right bucket.
