30-Day Social Media Content Calendar

A complete month of strategic, mixed-format social content.

Best For

•A solo creator managing one platform uses it to plan a full month in one sitting instead of posting reactively each day
•A small business owner without a marketing team uses the 40/30/20/10 content mix to keep posts from turning into constant promotion
•A social media manager onboarding a new client account uses the calendar as the first deliverable of the engagement

Prompt Template

Create a 30-day social media content calendar for [BRAND/CREATOR NAME] in the [NICHE] space. Target platform: [PLATFORM, Instagram/LinkedIn/X/TikTok]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Content mix: 40% educational, 30% entertaining, 20% promotional, 10% community/engagement. For each of the 30 days, provide: post type, topic, 1-sentence content description, and suggested posting time. Vary the formats (carousel, single image, reel, text post).

Pro Tip

Name the actual pillar topics before running the prompt rather than letting the model invent them, so all 30 days tie back to themes you can measure performance against later.
