Content Pillars

Definition

Content pillars are four to six standing topic categories your content lives inside. They replace the blank page with a smaller question, which pillar today, and force variety so your feed never narrows into a single repeating note.

People who stop posting rarely ran out of ideas. They ran out of patience for answering "what should I post today" from a blank page, every day, forever. Pillars make that daily decision small enough to survive a real schedule.

Four to six is the band that works. Fewer and the feed narrows into a loop. More and the pillars stop constraining anything, because everything fits somewhere. The point of a pillar is partly to make some things not fit, to give the brand an edge.

In flypost.ai, pillars are a structured field in the brand kit, and the Originality Engine treats coverage as something to balance. It tracks which pillars you have leaned on lately and weights the next generation toward the ones you have neglected.
