Keep the dates above that fit
Cross out any your customers don't care about, and add your own: your anniversary, events, launches and slow weeks.
Work back from each date
Put a first post one to two weeks before, a reminder a few days before and a post on the day.
Make a month of posts at once
Make them in one sitting and schedule them, so a busy week doesn't leave your feed empty.
