One-page worksheet

Who Is Your Target?

Stop trying to talk to everyone.

A front-and-back PDF that walks you through finding the customer pattern hiding in your own client list. Front explains the idea. Back is the worksheet.

  • Why "everyone" isn't an audience — the 2% problem
  • Your last 5 best customers
  • Spot the pattern (8-point checklist)
  • The anti-customer
  • The one-sentence target

Build Your Hashtag Pool

A pool, not a list.

Front explains why a small categorized hashtag pool beats picking fresh tags every post. Back is where you build yours — brand, industry, topic, audience, local — once, then mix from for a year.

  • The 5-bucket pool: brand · industry · topic · audience · local
  • How many tags by platform (FB, IG, LI, TikTok, X, YouTube, GBP)
  • The two rules that fix most hashtag mistakes
  • What to leave out — and the GBP truth most owners miss

A Year of Content (sample)

What mapped content looks like.

A one-page colorful calendar showing 48 monthly themes for a sample small business — "Pioneer Carpentry Co." — across 4 rotating pillars. Pair it with the blank template →.

  • 4 pillars × 12 months = a full year on one page
  • How a topic becomes a "post family" across blog, social, newsletter, and GBP
  • The W1 → W2 → W3 → W4 rotation that keeps it from going stale
  • An honest filled-in example to get your wheels turning

Your Year of Content (blank)

Print it. Pen it. Pin it up.

The same grid as the sample, empty — for your business. Pick your four pillars, fill in 48 monthly themes, hang it on the wall. Don't overthink it; that's the point of the grid.

  • Four labeled pillar slots — you name them
  • 48 ruled cells, one per month per pillar
  • "For: _________" line so you can make it yours at the top
  • 3-step "how to fill it in" guidance, no methodology overload
