These can be updated through a google search for key dates in the following months.  \nThe colors highlighted on the calendar correspond with the audience we are looking to target through our social media posts.  \nWith this we can pre-plan the majority of our content (see image below) by copying ina link to an image we want to use, for example for National Science Fiction day we could have a post with this theme ready to go.  \nHaving your images organized into an online folder such as Dropbox makes it easier for the team to log on and post.  \nPosting regularly.  \nWe want to post no more than 2-3 days a week in the main grid, this amount of posting is balanced out throughout the template and can remain this way when posting for the rest ofthe year.  \nFor stories the more often you post the better, you can link your Facebook stories tobe posted to Instagram at the same time.  \nHashtags \\#  \n\\#fdst  \n\\#foyledownsyndrometrust  \n\\#downsyndrometrust  \n\\#downrightcrafty  \n\\#derry  \n\\#downsyndrometrustderry  \n\\#downsyndrome  \n\\#downsyndromeawareness  \n\\#specialneeds  \n\\#downsyndromelove  \n\\#sindromededown  \n\\#inclusion  \n\\#love  \n\\#nothingdownaboutit  \n\\#disability  \n\\#downsyndromerocks  \n\\#morealikethandifferent  \n\\#upsyndrome  \n\\#downrightperfect  \n\\#changingthefaceofbeauty  \n\\#down  \nAbove are the top hashtags related to the content you will be posting, some created specifically for FDST. There is no set limit to how many hashtags you use per post however 3-6 is a good start.  \nReel Content.  \nIn this document you will find all the research and a guide on creating reel content for Instagram. The guide breaks down how to make a successful and clean looking reel following what is popular online.  \nReels are a fun way of putting out quick video content and require minimal editing. Instagram even has a built in editor to make reel content even easier. Pick a popular song by viewing what is trending on the explore page and get ready to post.  \nThe same goes for Youtube and Facebook creation and I have attached research and a guide on this also.  \nWhat Are Instagram Reels?  \nInstagram Reels are short-form, vertical videos that can be up to 60 seconds long. The popular video feature is available in the United States and 50 other countries.  \nSince their inception, Instagram Reels have been an amazing way for brands and businesses to flex their creative muscles and add a visual experience beyond a grid post.  \nAnd what makes Reels different is that instead of user’s only seeing Reels from accounts they follow, users see Reels from all Instagram accounts on the Reels tab.  \nHere’s how to create your first Instagram Reel in four steps:  \n1. Storyboard Concept  \n2. Shoot Instagram Reel  \n3. Preview and Add Effects  \n4. Share Instagram Reel  \nStep \\#1: Storyboard Your Concept  \nYou know how the saying goes, failing to plan is planning to fail. So, before you step in front of the red light, it’s best to put a plan in place.  \nHere are some questions to answer and get you started:  \n● What topic would make the most sense for your business or brand – fashion and styling? Food recipes? Wellness tips?  \n● Are there any that feel like a natural fit for your brand right now?  \n● How will your Reels content be cohesive with your Instagram feed posts or Stories?  \n● Who is your target audience and what type of content will speak to them? It could be tutorials, behind-the-scenes, or a “day in the life.”  \nFrom there, spend time perusing the app and take stock of visuals, text, trends, and aesthetics that you could borrow inspiration from.  \nOnce you’ve got a solid understanding of your direction, storyboard your conte","cbCaibrbbDsTIU8T","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibrbbDsTIU8T","pdf",1540971,"English","# Content Calendar Planning\n## Key dates and target audiences\n## Posting schedule and hashtag guidance\n# Reel Content Guide (Instagram)\n## What Instagram Reels are\n## How to create a Reel in four steps\n### Storyboard concept\n### Shoot, preview, effects, share\n## Recommended dimensions and caption placement\n## Accessing Reels analytics and key metrics","[{\"question\":\"How should the content calendar be updated for months beyond January 2023?\",\"answer\":\"Use the provided calendar as a base template, then update key dates and themes for later months by searching for relevant key dates and adjusting the highlighted areas accordingly.\"},{\"question\":\"What posting frequency is recommended for the main grid and for stories?\",\"answer\":\"Post no more than 2–3 days per week in the main grid, keeping the balance across the template for the rest of the year.
