Content calendar template
A month of posts in a spreadsheet: date, platform, format, caption, owner and approval status, with Gulf dates built in.
A calendar the client can approve line by line keeps posts from being chased on WhatsApp the night before. Each row is one post, with a status that moves from idea to approved to scheduled.
Download it as a spreadsheet that opens in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers. Add the month's key dates first, then plan around them.
Opens in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers. Free, no sign-up.
Columns: date, day, platform, format, content pillar, topic, caption, asset link, owner, status and client approval. The example rows show how to fill it in; delete them when you start.
- Status runs Idea, In progress, Ready for review, Approved, Scheduled, Published.
- Put Ramadan, Eid, national days and sale periods in first. Posting times shift during Ramadan, so check them for your audience's country.
- Keep captions in the sheet, not in a separate document, so approval covers the words as well as the visual.
