Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Seasonal posts work because they tap into what is already top of mind for your community. By linking investing conversations to holidays or the changing seasons, you create posts that feel relevant and relatable, encouraging members to participate regardless of their investing experience. This approach also helps foster a sense of community by inviting people to share personal traditions and stories, making them feel seen and included.
Reflective and timely prompts naturally drive engagement because people love to talk about how their habits change throughout the year. Whether it's end-of-year portfolio reviews or summer savings goals, seasonal content connects investing with everyday life. This emotional connection encourages both new and seasoned members to join the conversation, strengthening relationships across your community.

To use these templates, choose one that fits the current season or upcoming holiday and post it in your community group or channel. Adapt the language as needed for your audience, and add a personal touch by sharing your own response to the prompt. Encourage replies by tagging active members or highlighting thoughtful answers. Rotate through different templates to keep your content feeling fresh all year long.
These templates are designed for use on all platforms, including forums, Facebook Groups, Slack, Discord, LinkedIn, and more. Adjust formatting as needed for your platform's features, such as adding emojis or using polls. For chat-based platforms, consider pinning seasonal prompts for ongoing participation.
When using seasonal prompts, time your posts to coincide with key events like Q1/Q2 earnings announcements, annual reports, or end-of-fiscal-year reviews. For example, share prompts that encourage members to discuss portfolio rebalancing at quarter-end or analyze recent earnings surprises. This ensures discussions are timely, relevant, and encourage analysis based on real market movements.
Leverage templates that address topics like tax-loss harvesting strategies, deadline reminders for making IRA contributions, or sharing resources on capital gains taxation. For example, a prompt could ask members to share their approach to optimizing portfolios before year-end tax deadlines, which is a highly relevant seasonal concern for investors.
Use prompts that encourage members to discuss historical sector performance during various times of year—such as the 'January Effect' or summer market lulls. You could prompt members to analyze which sectors typically outperform in specific quarters or during election cycles, fostering deeper discussions about rotation strategies.
You can generate engagement by prompting members to share experiences or data about anomalies like the Santa Claus Rally, or discuss whether they follow 'Sell in May and go away' strategies. Encourage debate around the validity and history of these phenomena, and invite predictions for the current year.
Schedule prompts around typical portfolio review seasons, such as year-end or mid-year, encouraging members to share their rebalancing approaches, asset allocation changes, or reflections on annual performance. You could even run community challenges where members outline their strategies and compare outcomes at the next review.
Incorporate prompts that highlight upcoming global market holidays (like Golden Week in Asia) or anticipated geopolitical events (elections, central bank meetings) and invite members to discuss potential impacts on market liquidity, volatility, or specific asset classes. This not only keeps content timely but also encourages members to consider macroeconomic factors in their strategies.
