About this course
Posting consistently is hard when every post starts from a blank page. In this free, hands-on course you'll build content pillars, plan a week with Ace's marketing squad, generate and edit posts in Social Media Studio, create a campaign visual, and schedule everything on the calendar. You'll finish with a real, scheduled week of content and a repeatable system for the rest of the month.
What you'll build
A scheduled week of posts
A real Social Media Studio campaign: a week of posts planned and written with Plan my week and edited by you, one campaign visual, and the week on your calendar. Repeat it three more times and that's your month.
What you'll be able to do
- Choose three to five content pillars your audience actually wants
- Turn one idea into a week of posts in different formats
- Plan the week with Ace's marketing squad and act on its critique
- Write hooks that stop the scroll, and fit each network's limits
- Make a campaign visual in Image Studio
- Schedule the whole week on the calendar, with a plan to review it
Who it's for
- Creators and small businesses who post in bursts, then go quiet
- Small agencies that want a repeatable weekly system for each client
- Anyone who finished "Make AI Sound Like You" and wants to put their Brand Profile to work

Questions
Do I need to take "Make AI Sound Like You" first?
It helps, because a Brand Profile makes every post sound like you, but this course stands on its own.
Do I need Buffer or connected social accounts?
No. You can schedule in Ace and share posts manually. The course also covers connecting accounts directly, through Buffer, or by webhook, if you want posts to go out on their own.
What does it cost?
The course is free. Its labs use about 45 to 50 credits, including one generated image and a week written by Plan my week (cheapest for one network), and every new account starts with 50.
Will the posts go out without me?
Only what you schedule. You write, edit, and choose the time for every post in the course.
Ready to start?
Free, at your own pace, with a tutor beside you the whole way.
