🚨 Common Problem

How to Fix: Mighty Networks Has Primitive Scheduling

Mighty Networks scheduling does have content calendar feature

The Problem

Many community managers using Mighty Networks quickly realize that the platform’s scheduling features are basic and do not include a true content calendar. When trying to plan posts in advance, you are limited to scheduling individual posts one at a time, with no clear overview or ability to coordinate campaigns. This makes it difficult to organize content, collaborate with team members, or maintain a consistent publishing rhythm.

The lack of an integrated content calendar means you cannot visually map out your posts, leaving you to rely on external spreadsheets or reminders. As a result, community managers often feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and worried about missing key posting windows or delivering a disjointed member experience.

Why This Happens

This problem exists mainly due to limitations in the Mighty Networks platform, which currently offers only basic post scheduling without a calendar view or batch scheduling. Many community managers expect robust content planning tools similar to those found in other community or social platforms, but Mighty Networks has not yet prioritized these features.

Common mistakes include trying to manage complex content plans manually or using makeshift solutions like Google Calendars or spreadsheets, which can lead to confusion and missed posts. The psychology behind this issue is the desire for control and visibility over content, which is hindered by the platform’s limitations.

⚠️ The Impact

If you do not solve this problem, your community content can become inconsistent, with gaps or overlaps that confuse members. This can lead to reduced engagement, lower member retention, and missed opportunities to drive value. For businesses, poor scheduling impacts brand perception and can result in lost revenue or missed growth targets.

🎯 Long-Term Strategies

To address this, community managers should implement external tools to plan and automate content. Using integrations like Mighty Networks Zapier or third-party scheduling apps can bridge the gap by allowing you to prepare posts in bulk and trigger them automatically. Building a visual content calendar outside the platform ensures you always know what is coming up and can coordinate with collaborators.

Best practices include batching content creation, setting posting themes, and using reminders or automation workflows to ensure posts go live at the right time. By organizing your content plan in advance, you reduce stress and increase your community’s engagement.
