How to Use This Template
- Set your monthly content goal at the top before planning individual posts. A goal like ‘8 blog posts and 20 Instagram posts’ gives you a target to plan against.
- Fill in the ideas bank first with every topic idea, then assign them to dates. This separates ideation from scheduling.
- Batch plan the whole month in one sitting. Ideally on the last Friday of the previous month. Refine week by week as trends emerge.
- Fill in the performance table at the end of the month while the data is still easy to access. Use it to plan next month.
