Content Calendar
Plan posts by date, channel and status in a month grid, then export CSV.
About this tool
Add each piece of content with a date, channel, title, format and status. Statuses run from idea to published. Items appear on a month grid colour-coded by channel. Click a day number to add something on that date, or click an item to edit or delete it. Switch months, filter to one channel, export everything as CSV for a spreadsheet, or print the month as a list. The calendar saves in your browser as you go.
How to plan a content calendar
A content calendar shows what you will publish, where and when, so content stops being a last-minute scramble and channels support each other. A blog article on Tuesday can be shared on LinkedIn on Wednesday, cut into a short video on Friday and rounded up in the monthly newsletter. Start from your goals and audience, then decide a rhythm your team can really sustain. Consistency beats volume, and an ambitious calendar abandoned in week three helps nobody. Batch similar work, such as writing four posts in one sitting, and leave some gaps for news and reactive posts. Track status so everyone can see what is stuck, and review each month which pieces performed so the next plan improves. Colour-coding by channel shows at a glance whether one channel is starved or overloaded. The UTM builder tags links so you can measure each post, the social media image resizer prepares the visuals and the buyer persona generator keeps the audience in mind. Social media image sizes and aspect ratios lists the image sizes for each platform.
