Content Pillar System

Build infinite content from 5 core pillars

Core Pillars (Pick 5):
  • Educational (How-to, tutorials)
  • Inspirational (Stories, quotes)
  • Entertaining (Behind scenes)
  • Promotional (Products, offers)
  • Community (UGC, features)
Content Math:
  • 5 pillars × 10 topics = 50 ideas
  • 50 ideas × 5 formats = 250 pieces
  • 250 × 4 platforms = 1,000 posts
  • All from one brainstorm session
