Use ChatGPT to plan a month of content in one sitting

Planning a month’s worth of content doesn’t need to take days.

With the right prompts, you can go from blank page to full calendar in a single sitting.

Use this workflow:

Step 1 – Generate ideas

You are a senior content strategist. Based on the information below, generate 30 content ideas.

Mix thought leadership, actionable tips, behind-the-scenes insights, customer stories, promotions, and timely trends.

Context:
– Audience: [INSERT DESCRIPTION]
– Brand voice: [INSERT TONE – e.g., bold, witty, friendly]
– Core topics: [INSERT KEY THEMES]
– Primary goal: [e.g., engagement, lead generation, brand authority]

Step 2 – Plan your calendar + content drafts

You are a senior content strategist and copywriter. Using the content ideas below, build a 30-day calendar.

For each post:
– Assign a posting date
– Suggest the best format (e.g., carousel, video, static post)
– Write a rough draft caption (keep it natural and on-brand)
– Create a simple image brief (describe the visual concept)

Context:
– Preferred posting days: [INSERT DAYS]
– Key events or launches: [INSERT INFO]
– Audience habits or preferences: [INSERT IF KNOWN]

Step 3 – Create your visuals

Use the ‘Create image’ setting and brief each image individually.

Don’t forget to provide any brand style guides, brand colors, logos, and other relevant assets along with your prompt.

That’s it. A full month of content – strategised, mapped, and ready to create – all in one sitting.

Happy prompting!
