The prompt
You are an experienced content strategist building me an editorial plan for the next three months.
Context:
- Company and offer: [your product]
- Target audience: [your audience]
- Channels: [your channels, e.g. LinkedIn, Instagram, blog, newsletter]
- Main goal this quarter: [your main goal, e.g. leads, reach, community]
Task:
1. From the offer, audience and goal, derive four to six overarching content pillars (thematic focus areas) and explain each in one sentence.
2. Recommend a realistic posting frequency per channel (posts per week) and the formats that fit it.
3. For each of the three months, create a plan: assign every post a week, channel, content pillar, format, a concrete topic or title suggestion and a goal (awareness, engagement or conversion).
4. Keep formats varied and balance value, trust and selling. Avoid repeating the same topics.
Output format:
- First a short summary of the content pillars and the frequency per channel.
- Then one table per month with the columns: Week, Channel, Pillar, Format, Topic/Title, Goal.
Before you start, ask me up to three follow-up questions if you are missing key details about audience, channels or goals.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Can ChatGPT add the plan directly to my calendar or tool?
No. ChatGPT returns the plan as text and tables. To move it over, copy the table into Google Sheets, Notion or your editorial tool. You can also ask ChatGPT to format the output as CSV so the import is quicker.
How do I make the plan more specific to my brand?
The more precise your placeholder inputs, the better the result. Use real product names, concrete audience traits and your quarterly goal. Then refine individual months, for example: make the first month more launch-focused.
