The great general Timur once said "It is better to be on hand with ten men than absent with ten thousand." While originally expressed in a military context, the sentiment has broader applications, not only for the real world, but digital environments as well.
Algorithms reward consistency. Brands that post randomly don’t gain much traction, even if their content has immersive visuals and eye-catching cinematography.
What’s more, there’s no way to make up for an erratic schedule. Posting every day for a week won’t boost your standing if you didn’t post anything the week before and don’t post anything the week after.
Switching to a simple schedule (e.g. 1-2 times a week, on the same days) can quickly improve the reach of your posts, even if they don't have the highest production value. Brands have launched successful campaigns with content produced on smartphones because algorithms don’t reward the posts that look best; they reward the ones that show up.
