Content calendar

A content calendar is the schedule of what will be posted, where and when — usually planned a week or a month ahead.

Planning ahead removes the daily “what do we post?” decision, which is where most small-business accounts stall. Batch the ideas, make the videos together, then schedule them.

  • Posting frequency — Posting frequency is how often an account publishes; for most small businesses on TikTok, three to five videos a week is a sustainable starting point.

  • Hook — A hook is the first one to two seconds of a short video — the line, image or text on screen that makes someone stop scrolling.
