How to Use Your 2021 Content Calendar TemplateCongratulations on downloading your 2021 Content Calendar Template. I’ve used this template for at least 10 years – for myself and for my clients – and it’s a lifesaver! I’m confident you’ll appreciate the simplicity of this no-frills template. DO FIRST: Select “Save As” and rename the file. If you want to use a different content calendar for each social media channel, rename the file “2021 Instagram Posts.” Then do another “Save As” and rename the second file, “2021 Facebook Posts.” And so on.The template, which starts on Page 4 of this document, includes 5 columns you can customize however you’d like. You’ll find detailed suggestions for customizing each column and getting the most out of your calendar at Here’s a quick overview:Columns 1 & 2: Day and Date – Major U.S. holidays and observances are highlighted, along with many weird observances (particularly ones that will interest writers and literary types).Column 3: Draft your blog post “teasers” and social updates (or copy & paste them from the published update, so you can track what you publish). Column 4: Note which channels you posted to (blog, podcast, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) Column 5: Note content buckets (categories) for each day’s updates. I’d love to hear how you are using your 2021 Content Calendar.
