Content Calendar Planning for Busy Businesses
A content calendar is the difference between sporadic posting and a real social media presence. This guide covers the exact structure and tools.
Three content pillars
Pick three categories that align with business goals. Rotate through them weekly.
Plan 4-8 weeks ahead
Long horizons let you batch-create, align with promotions, and avoid daily 'what should I post' decisions.
Batch creation
Set aside one 3-hour session per month to create the next 4 weeks of content. Schedule everything.
Tool stack
Notion or a Google Sheet for planning. Later, Buffer, or Meta Business Suite for scheduling. Canva for graphics.
Weekly review
Every Monday, review last week's performance and adjust upcoming content based on what worked.
