Got 2 hours a week for content? This plan is all you need for the entire Q2 2026 (April-June): 90 days of posts for LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.

You get a ready-to-run schedule with topics, hooks, best posting days, formats and CTAs, so you can open the file on Tuesday at 10am and write your 3 posts for the week without wondering 'what do I post today.'

Who this plan is for

  • SaaS founders / solo operators - you sell a product/service and have to build an audience yourself
  • B2B consultants - narrow-niche experts who want to attract inbound leads
  • Marketing agencies - use this plan as a template for clients
  • E-commerce founders - you sell a product and are building a brand

Note - This plan assumes 1 core content theme for your business (e.g. 'content marketing,' 'B2B sales,' 'online courses'). If you have several content pillars, multiplex it.

How to use this plan

  1. Download the guide (link at the end - you'll get a Google Sheets + Notion template)
  2. Fill in the persona fields (5 min): who your ICP is, what problems they have, what language they use
  3. Personalize the 13 weekly themes for your business (30 min, one time)
  4. Write 3 posts a week - Tuesday 10am LinkedIn, Thursday 11am LinkedIn + Instagram, Saturday Story/TikTok
  5. Track metrics every 14 days and tweak your hooks

The structure of every week

Every week = 3 posts, 3 formats, 3 platforms:

Tuesday 10am - LinkedIn long-form

Format - 800-1,500 characters, hook in the first line, a P.S. at the end. Goal - Authority, thought leadership, lead generation. Hook framework - 'Debate / controversy / statistic -> personal POV -> conclusion -> CTA asking for comments.'

Example for week 1 (Q2 trends) -

These 3 Q2 2026 trends are about to reshape [your industry].

  1. [Trend] - most companies slept on this one. I'm already seeing results from early adopters, including [specific example].
  2. [Trend] - this structural shift is already visible in [specific evidence].
  3. [Trend] - the available tools create an opening for the first company to build a working methodology.

Which trend are you implementing in Q2?

Format - 5-10 slides, each with one concrete point. Goal - Save-worthy content, organic reach. Hook framework - 'Number -> promise -> swipe to see [specific value].'

Example for week 2 (ICP problem) - - Slide 1: '5 mistakes in [area] costing you $2,500/year - swipe to see how much they're costing you' - Slide 2-6: each mistake + its concrete cost + the fix - Slide 7: 'Save this post. Come back to it next week.' - Slide 8 (CTA): 'Which mistake are you NOT making? Tell me in the comments.'

Saturday 9am - Instagram Story / TikTok / LinkedIn short video

Format - 30-60s video or 3-5 Stories. Goal - Engagement, relatability, top-of-mind. Hook framework - 'My [day/ritual/setup] as a [your role].'

Example for week 4 (My journey) - - Story 1: 'How my journey in [industry] started 5 years ago' (photo of an old laptop / office) - Story 2: 'The turning point was [specific event]' - Story 3: 'A mistake that cost me [amount]' - Story 4: 'What I'd do differently' - Story 5: 'How you can avoid it -> link [CTA]'

FAQ

How long does it take to produce 3 posts a week? With a ready plan - 2h a week (30 min/post + 30 min editing). Without a plan - 4-6h (lost to 'what do I write about').

Can I use this plan outside B2B SaaS? Yes. The plan is platform-agnostic. Swap 'industry/ICP/product' for your own values.

Which platform is best for Q2 2026? For B2B: LinkedIn (80% of the effort). For B2C: Instagram + TikTok (60/40). For everyone: ~20% repurposed onto the rest.

What's the best time to post? LinkedIn: Tuesday/Thursday 9-11am. Instagram: Saturday 10am-12pm, Sunday 7-9pm. TikTok: daily, 6-10pm.

What if I don't have case studies / customers yet? Swap the 'case study' weeks (3, 8) for 'public case breakdown' - dissecting a well-known company or campaign in your industry.
