ClickUp to the rescue! How this (FREE) content planning template can save you time & your sanity!
I see you, trying to show up on social media more in 2023. You know the importance of posting on multiple platforms and staying as consistent as possible.
It all sounds good in your head until it’s time to write and store all of your brilliant ideas.
If you’re anything like me, you probably have content ideas written everywhere…
🖊 Notepad on your phone
🖊 Evernote
🖊 A good old-fashioned notebook
🖊 Some random napkin from happy hour the other night
When it comes time to sit down and start writing, suddenly you’re scrambling to see where it was that you wrote it down. The struggle is real.
Are you a social media manager? Then, you’ll definitely want to get your hands on this template.
As a former social media manager, I remember getting so annoyed when it came to getting content approved by a client. A caption that took me 15 minutes to create suddenly became a whole production.
It looked a little like this:
😖 Think of an idea/find post to repurpose
😖 Write
😖 Create a graphic or source photo
😖 Add Hashtags
😖 Send for approval
😖 Wait for approval
😖 Wait for approval
😖 Wait for approval
😖 Edit
😖 Wait for approval again
😖 Schedule
All of this was done on different platforms (Slack, Google, email…) too just to make things even more interesting.
But one day the heavens opened and the choir of angels sang and I learned about ClickUp!
A heavenly task management platform that can do so many things and can be customized in a million different ways to best serve your business.
Using this content planner has been a game changer for me, even though I’m not planning content for other people, I’m using it for my business and it’s been so nice to have all of my ideas and captions in ONE place.
Sure, I still have notes all over the place because of course ideas come to me in the middle of Target, while driving or out for dinner but now, when I get back home, I hurry to my template and plop that idea in!
In this template that I’ve created you’ll be able to:
→ Store all of your captions, images & hashtags
→ Have a subtask list to make sure that your whole process is covered from draft to published and the ability to assign to team members with deadlines, notes and the works!
