Can AI help me post 500 times in 30 days? Let’s find out (the hard way)

Hi there,

Content creation has less to do with ability, consistency or skill and more to do with vulnerability and resilience.

This month I haven’t felt resilient and I definitely didn’t want to be vulnerable.

So here I am sitting with those familiar feelings of falling behind.

But I’m reminding myself of not all progress is public or even has to be.
It’s my choice to share my journey and learnings.
It’s not that I have to, it’s that I get to.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been deep in building:

• A full marketing strategy from scratch (with the help of AI)

• An onboarding system for LinkedIn ghostwriting
  (turns out I’m pretty good at getting consistent results over there!)

It’s been intense, but exciting.
The kind of work that stretches you and forces you to level up fast.

So if you’ve had a quiet week showing up for yourself too, just know this…
What you’re building still counts.

Even when no one sees it.
Even when it feels slow.

We got this!

Let’s get into the good stuff ↴

AI Workflow of the Week

If you’re following along on this mini series of planning for social media with AI, so far you have:

1 - Central Clarity Map

2 - 28 Days of Ideas

3 - Content Calendar & Tracker

If you’re joining today, catch up here.

Today we start building your Banger Bank.

Let’s start with the basics:

How do I spot a banger post on social media?

For me, it always comes back to one core signal engagement.
It’s the clearest indicator that something’s resonating. 
That the content is alive and moving in the right direction.

Look past vanity metrics (likes, views, reactions), while nice, not all engagement is equal.

Here’s how I break it down and a handy visual I created (using napkin.ai)👇

I look at engagement as a set of signals. 
The further you go the stronger the signal of resonance, reach, and real business impact you find (or don’t find if your content isn’t sticking 👀)

Here’s a mini-masterclass in social media engagement signals you can use:

1. Social Proof

Likes, views, shares, saves

Your first signal a post is landing.
Not deep, but a good start.
Shares and saves tell the algorithm it’s valuable.
When people start liking your posts without thinking, or resharing your words,
that’s memorability at work (nice job!)

2. Traffic in GA4 (Google Analytics)

Clicks, site visits 
(not forgetting that zero-click is more of a thing than ever with AI overviews in search results and you may not see the action you want here but still worth a look)

This moves beyond visibility alone.
Means someone cared enough to go deeper.

3. Consistent Reach

Reliable post performance across time

Not just one off virality, your message is sticking.
There’s never been a better time to post even with 200 followers you can go viral.

4. Watch Time (Reels, Videos)

People staying with you

A great signal of interest.
If they’re watching your reel all the way through?
You’re doing something right.
Track the drop off point to see where they lost interest.
Your next vid? Make one thing better.

5. Comments + DMs

You’re resonating!

People feel something.
They want to talk, ask, share, debate.
This is emotional trust, it’s where leads start.

Now for something impossible…

They say it takes a whole content team to do what I’m about to do.

So I’m going to put it to the test *glups

I’m not posting anywhere at the minute, and to be honest I’m getting really fed up with that.

Sometimes the only way to get yourself out of rut is to go all in.

So here goes…

I’m going to post 500 posts in 30 days across platforms 👀

Why? Because I hate being on video and keep saying tomorrow I’ll start.
This way I have to post because I’ve told you guys now, that makes it real..
**double glups

Ok, so that’s around 17 posts a day!

I’m doing Donavan Barrett’s 500 posts in 30 day challenge.
Check it out here.

That’s x5 TikTok’s a day. The best of the day goes to Instagram.

But I’ll only post x1 newsletter per week.

And follow my own LinkedIn strategy which will be repurposed to Threads, BlueSky & X.

Of course, I’ll update you with the results here!

Want to join? Hit reply for accountability (we’re in this together now)

The goals?

Simply to get on camera
Make video a part of my content routine
See how AI helps or hinders in this challenge
And gather data on what’s working right now or not

If I get some followers, great, welcome!
If I get some work? Bingoooo!
Go viral? I actually hope not! (I want stability not hockey sticks)

Wish me luck 🍀

Ok, until next week.

You (really will) find me on my socials.

Stay Remotely Social 💅
