how much content per month?.

enough to be consistent, not enough to burn out. here is how much content a brand actually needs each month.

— tl;dr

one focused shoot day can produce a month of content. volume should match your cadence and goals — quality first, always.

"how much content do we need" is really a question about cadence and capacity. the answer is: enough to post consistently at quality, which is usually less raw shooting than people fear and more planning than they expect.

— 01work backwards from cadence.

decide your posting rhythm first, then the content follows. a few reels and posts a week across a month is a clear target — and far more achievable than a vague "post more".

— 02one shoot, many assets.

a single focused shoot day can yield weeks of reels, stills and carousels when planned well. volume comes from smart batching, not from filming every day.

— 03quality caps the number.

never produce more than you can keep good. one strong piece beats five weak ones. let quality set your ceiling, and build a system to hit it consistently.
