For average control , it's nothing short of chaos. For the blogger , it is proof of a (deperate) need an editorial calendar. My moldy system turns dramatically when I work with a team. I realize the need for organization and structure , and this could no longer be necessary than with the management of a blog. Without a system of planning , writing and programming mutually agreed each week , you can find in a bunch of missed deadlines , blog posts unordered , and a fair amount of team tension. There is no such thing as a perfect editorial calendar—everything depends on the needs of your team. Nevertheless , there are a number of questions you should ask to determine what your editorial calendar should look like. These include: How often are you publishing content? Do you have things that go live every day? Once a week? Maybe several times a day? Find out how often you publish it can tell you how best to view your editorial calendar regularly. Create more than one type of content? If you upload many videos on YouTube while posting articles on the company blog , the editorial calendar will have to distinguish between the two. How many people will use this editorial calendar? The best editorial calendars allow more people brainstorming , collaborating and providing feedback on real-time assignments—directly on the calendar. What are the various stages of content before it is published? How complex is your content pipeline? Is there a substantial process of review or approval that each piece of content passes through? Make sure the calendar can distinguish between two similar assignments that are in different stages of creation. What format do you use to organize this calendar? We suggest you choose the system that best fits with your goals and workflows of your team. The next section discusses the most common formats. Choose a format to organize your content calendar There is no perfect editorial calendar , but some formats will be better than others to help you solve your team's goals. Once you choose a format , you also want to decide on how you will implement it—choosing a tool or platform that offers the features or interface that your company needs most. Here are some of the different ways to format your editorial calendar: 1. Traditional Calendar or App Calendar Whether you're tracking deadlines on a large paper calendar on your desk or through an app like Google Calendar , this is one of the most direct ways to know what's going on and when. The disadvantage , however , is that there is more for the project and the management of the content that the dates of publication , and a calendar may not always be quite effective alone. 2. Spreadsheetsalways been a favorite for content management. there is something so satisfying in seeing all necessary data points aggregated i n one place and arranged neatly in rows and columns. with microsoft excel and google sheets, spreadsheets are easily accessible and do not have a high learning [curve. an](curve. an) advantage of using spreadsheets is that they can be easily combined with calendar applications and content management tools. importing a .csv file , you can upload information to multiple places , as necessary for tasks at hand (see the google sheets and hootsuite planner combination in the next section for inspiration.) 3. kanban board or other kanban tool management projects is a visual system for project management that involves card handling through different stages [of a project. is](of a project. is) popular in editorial management because it can be easily used to represent an editorial workflow, regardless of which is your quality assurance process or how many hands touch a piece before it is published.
