Buckets, explained: set your posting rhythm once

A Bucket is a pool of posts for one book that MIRA sends to your TikTok accounts on the rhythm you choose. You set it up once; it keeps going while you write.

Posting by hand works for a week. Then a deadline lands, a chapter fights back, and the account goes quiet. Buckets exist so the rhythm does not depend on your week.

What goes into a Bucket

You pick the format of the posts the Bucket will send:

  • Text over image: a line from your book over a picture.
  • Slide show: finished images you upload, in order. MIRA never draws on them or crops them; at most it resizes them or adds black bars. Up to 35 images each, TikTok's own limit.
  • Video.
  • Your creations: posts you already built in MIRA, with caption and hashtags.

The rhythm

  • 1–5posts a day, per account
  • 1–3 hwindow each post goes out in
  • 30 minminimum gap between two posts

Each post goes out at a varied time inside its window (60 or 90 minutes, 2 or 3 hours) instead of on the exact same minute every day. Out of the box a Bucket sends one post a day at 9:00 and runs with no end date; you change any of it in the setup.

When the content runs out

Choose what happens once every post has gone out:

  • No repeat: every post once on every account, then the Bucket ends.
  • Smart repeat: all the original content first, then it reuses it while keeping variety.
  • Random: a shuffled order per account. Available for text-over-image Buckets.

Pausing is safe

A Bucket is Draft, Running, Paused or Ended. While it is paused MIRA stops sending posts, and nothing is deleted: resume it and it picks up where it stopped.

Where to start

Rosse started with one rented channel at two posts a day and saw her book move after three days. Her week, in her own numbers, is a useful benchmark for a first Bucket. If your genre uses words TikTok tends to filter, set up censor words first: they apply to Bucket posts too.

Spend more time writing.
Less time figuring out what to post

MIRA turns your book into TikTok posts and keeps them going out while you write.
