HOW TO MAKE A CONTENT CALENDAR USING NOTION

Leave a Comment / Graphic Design / By Justine Lamer

You stopped here because you want to know how to make a content calendar using notion.

Notion is an application that provides components such as notes, databases, kanban boards, wikis, calendars, and reminders. Users can connect these components to create their own systems for knowledge management, note-taking, data management, project management, among others.

Today, we are going to use Notion to make a content calendar.

I am going to share all my secrets, to stay organized with my Instagram posts, youtube videos, and blog posts.

Alright, let’s dive right into how to make a content calendar using Notion.

1- CREATE A NEW PAGE IN NOTION

So, the first thing you need to do is to create a new page in your Notion.

If you already have a page created and you want your content to be inside this page, simply add a page inside this page.

At this point just rename your page whatever your want.

I named mine: CONTENT

So, the cool thing about Notion is that you can customize everything.

Be crazy and creative, add a cover picture to the page and an emoji to your title.

2- ADD YOUR BLOCKS

Alright, there are multiple ways you can do this.

Obviously, first, you will have to add a block.

You can start by adding a calendar block if it’s what you like to work with.

However, I know a better way.

So, instead of starting with a calendar block, start with a table inline-block.

In the first line on your table, you are going to create different properties.

Here is how made mine:

Publishing Date: Property Date
Content Title: Property text
Social media Platform: Property Multi-select
Start working on it: Property Date
To Do: Property Multi-select
Notes: Property text
Completed: Property Check box

3- MULTIPLE VIEWS

Another cool thing about Notion is that you can add multiple views to the same block.

So, if you added your table list like mine and you also wanted to see this list with the dates on a calendar, YOU CAN!

To do so, go into the little arrow close to your block title (not the page, the block).

From there, you will have the option to add a calendar view, and you will be able to switch between the views.

Cool right?

Well, New Year, new goals, right?

What's a content calendar, and why do you need one?

A content calendar is a written schedule of when and where you plan to publish upcoming content. It can be blog posts, YouTube videos, or Instagram posts.

So, you need a content calendar to be able to schedule in advance, your content. That way, you can make sure to always publishing something.

Also, your content calendar will help you remember your old post. It will prevent reposting the same content over and over.
