Diagonals make our brains think of change, or moving from one state to another. We’re used to seeing diagonals in graphs, so the direction’s meaning sticks with us. ⠀

![Sneak peek part 2 👀 if you’re keen to step away from the content conveyor belt. Here’s the 2nd part of my weekly content creation process (less than 15 mins a day). Here’s exactly what I did from Thursday to Sunday last week. Including my lightbulb moment of what kind of content works on LinkedIn. [Mon-Wed in previous post] Thursday
Spot the spider story poll. Fun, got some friendly conversations going & totally non-salesy. Friday
Surprise content win of the week. Spotted a news story about a photo of swirling waves that looked like they had a face in them. Shared this with a link to my blog post about the psychology of faces in marketing. My most effective LinkedIn post yet. It’s still generating shares & reaction a week later (so far nearly 8000 views - way above average for me). I’ll now share more curated content with my opinion woven in. Saturday
Asked for advice on Stories about a fitness tracker. Always helps if your conversations revolve around something genuine. Thanks for your responses 🙌🏻 Sunday
Day off. Nothing, zero. I often get a spike in reach when I post again after a short break like this. Results
Total time spent creating & posting on social - 50 mins max.
IG - 2 Reel posts (total 30 mins) , 22 Stories (max 20 mins).
48 new IG followers Monday-Friday. Roughly 1 minute per follower! And lots of conversations. Welcome & thank you for that 😘 #solopreneurlife

![Sneak peek 👀 Ready to step away from the content conveyor belt? I’m sharing my process of creating content like clockwork for Instagram (with a side order of LinkedIn). In less than 15 mins a day. I’ll show you -
How you can save time.
What works well.
How to respond to insights from your followers. Here’s exactly what I did last week. [Part 1 Monday - Wednesday] Monday
Content planning. What’s your theme? What’s in your diary? My talking point was social media sprinting, or how to save time on easy content. I brainstorm words/phrases to use & repeat. That meant lots of mentions of time, clocks, quick, speed, minutes, hours, sprint. Also words that link time with money - spend, free, save, give back. I planned to tie this to my core message too - marketing psychology gives your content PURPOSE that makes the PROCESS easier. Monday’s a good day to trail what’s coming up this week. I did that with my first Story. Then I posted pre-recorded video. (By the way, a Hubspot survey showed that the most popular videos on IG are on Stories.) On my feed, I repurposed content as a Reel, using a carousel that got lots of Saves. Tuesday
On Stories, I shared a screenshot of a testimonial from MiniMind workshop. I posted a quick reel made of me reading/drinking coffee. The theme was spare time. Wednesday
My collab partner from the upcoming MiniMind workshop remixed my Reel & shared it on her feed. It was World Chocolate Day - I recycled some newsletter content about the psychology of chocolate. My After Eight polls had the best reach of the week. Takeaways
Tie content to your core message or theme.
If you need to rein in overthinking (guilty), set a timer.
Video/photograph moments in your day as they happen. What do you think? How does your content creation process compare? ***** 💡 Next post I’ll share Part 2 Thursday - Saturday, including my lightbulb moment about what kind of content works on LinkedIn.](https://scontent-lhr8-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/217750981_1233823500393317_2570945101832650978_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=77xMGwZT26AAX8Un9jf&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr8-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=8cb9f9f1a3fb3e723f0907669604ce45&oe=610DD712)
