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.

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.
