What is a Content Plan?
A content plan details all the marketing assets and content creation efforts needed to implement your content strategy. It contains everything from SEO research to tools and channels you need to create and publish content. The content planner will outline who’s responsible for making the content, what the content’s purpose is, and how the content will impact your overall content strategy.
How to Create a Content Plan?
- Open a Creately content plan template. Invite your team as editors to collaborate on populating the Creately template together.
- Prior to developing your content plan, have your content strategy defined. This will help you know what your goals are, who your target audience is, how your content will support achieving these goals, how you plan to measure success, etc. Here you can use a Creately content strategy template to get a head start.
- Identify opportunities for creating content by examining the themes and topics highlighted in your content strategy. You can then create a content pipeline based on the identified themes, events, etc.
- Decide how often you would want to publish content. This will depend on your team’s knowledge, skills, and ability to create various pieces of content.
- Brainstorm and prioritize ideas for content creation. Identify topics or keywords under each of the themes you identified earlier. It would help to have these ideas planned ahead of time.
- Create an editorial calendar to schedule your content pieces. This will help keep everyone on track, including all the relevant details like topic, keyword, author, etc.
- You can then export your marketing content plan template as a PDF, SVG, or PNG to publish or share it or use the workspace embed code to embed it in any company site, intranet or app.
