What is the 80/20 rule for social media content?

The 80/20 rule suggests that 80% of content should provide value (educate, entertain, inspire) and only 20% should be promotional. This tool refines that rule for your specific situation.

Does the recommended mix differ by platform?

Yes — the optimal content mix varies significantly between Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook based on audience expectations and algorithmic behaviour.

How often should I revisit my content mix strategy?

Review it quarterly or whenever your growth stalls. Audience saturation and platform algorithm changes may require adjustments.

Can this be used for a business account?

Yes — specify your niche and goals and the tool will generate an appropriate mix for business or brand accounts.
