A visual process that assists a team of content creators in scheduling their work on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis is an editorial calendar.

Tips for creating an editorial calendar using our template

The internet has dramatically increased the number of publishers who need to organize content and ensure content is published at regular intervals. Traditional print publishers have used editorial calendars for centuries to manage the publication of books, magazines, and newspapers. Public relations professionals also use these abbreviated editorial calendars to try to place stories for clients. (“Editorial Calendar - Wikipedia”)

It is difficult enough to create and distribute high-quality content that consumers want to consume. When you add various formats and channels to the mix, it becomes even more difficult to keep production on schedule and produce quality content on time. This is where an editorial calendar might come in handy. An editorial calendar (also known as a content calendar) is a timetable that sets out each stage of the process, from concept to publishing, for all of the blog posts, articles, or videos you’re generating.

Follow these steps to construct your own editorial schedule using our template:

• Manage all of your material in one location.
• Add every piece of material you create to your editorial calendar project so you don’t have to go through emails, spreadsheets, or documents to figure out what’s going out.
• Dissect your publication process. Assign tasks to each phase in the content creation process—draft, edit, approve, and publish—and set deadlines for each to construct a work back plan that you can view on a calendar.
• Make it simple to see the status of your material. When you’re producing a large amount of material, it’s difficult to keep track of the progress of each individual piece. Track material through each step of development to know where it stands.
• Keep communication and content separate. Needs and timing might change as you create content. Share input on where work is being done to ensure that your team is up to date on the newest updates.
