We planned a year of content in one sitting. Here's the system.

The Planning Problem

Content marketing requires consistency. Consistency requires planning.

We planned 12 months in one afternoon. Here's how.


The Framework

1. Map the Customer Journey

Awareness → Consideration → Decision → Retention

Each stage needs different content.

2. Identify Content Pillars

3-5 themes you own. Not topics you wish you owned topics.

We own: SaaS development, mobile apps, Shopify.

3. Fill the Calendar

Topic per pillar per quarter. Map to journey stage.


The System

Monthly

  • 4 blogs
  • 1 case study
  • Social content supporting each

Quarterly

  • 1 deep-dive guide
  • Refresh top-performing content
  • Retire underperformers

The Checklist

Before You Start

  • Customer journey mapped
  • Content pillars defined
  • SEO keywords researched

For Each Month

  • 4 blog topics assigned
  • Publishing schedule set
  • Promotion channels identified
