Planning a content campaign? This calculator totals exactly how many posts you'll need to produce for the full run.
Total Posts Needed = ceil(Posts Per Week x Campaign Length in Weeks)
Example
5 posts per week, 8-week campaign:
Total Posts = ceil(5 x 8) = 40 total posts
Why Planning Total Volume Upfront Helps
Planning total content volume upfront - rather than creating content reactively week to week - makes it much easier to batch-produce content in efficient production sessions and spot content gaps or repetition before the campaign is already underway.
Use This Total to Plan Content Mix
Once you know the total post count, mapping out a content mix ratio (for example, roughly 40% educational, 30% promotional, 30% entertainment) against that total gives a clear content plan rather than deciding content type post-by-post as the campaign runs.
