Choose a month, how often you want to publish and your content pillars. The generator spreads your posts across the month, adds your weekly feature and newsletter days, and lets you print it or download it as a CSV for Google Sheets or Excel.
How to use your calendar
- Fill in working titles. Open the CSV and write a rough title next to each date. It doesn’t need to be perfect.
- Batch the writing. Write two posts in one sitting instead of one post every few days. You will be faster and more consistent.
- Keep a buffer. Try to stay one week ahead, so a busy week never breaks your schedule.
- Review at the end of the month. Look at what readers liked, and adjust next month’s pillars.
Not sure what a content pillar is? It’s one of the 3–5 recurring types of post your blog is known for, such as how-to guides, list posts or personal stories. Rotating them keeps your blog varied without having to reinvent it every week.
