Great post – and great Editorial Calendar. I love the idea of the hooks. I believe that any content shouldn’t stand alone, so some way of tying individual pieces of content together via themes would be good to see. You could then tell at a glance if you were hitting your goals of publishing information on the various themes that are important to you.

thanks again, Matt.

Hi Will,

I have seen many organizations adapt Holly’s editorial calendar to fit their needs — some have done a more detailed one for a particular channel, others have create calendars that are shared with other organizations, and also some have actually used google calendar! http://www.flickr.com/photos/cambodia4kidsorg/8382409994/in/photostream – so there isn’t one way to do it.

I have an editorial calendar, but I also keep an “idea dashboard” – basically a journal of ideas and my research on blog posts “in the pipeline.”

On my editorial calendar -I’ve modified Holly’s tool to incorporate the channels I use – plus measurement.

Nice tool, Holly and thanks to Beth for bringing it to our attention. First thing that I’m going to do is to recommend it to my close friend who is a part time event organizer. I remember she told me how hard it was to keep and manage things in check, so I guess this is the answer after all. For me, even though not in the major event business, I’m going to use it for my simple daily work chores and see how it works out.

This is great, Holly! I love the hook ideas!

I’m wondering if the columns for different platforms could be see as different parts of a combined workflow. i.e. the primary place for new content would be the website (or “blog”), then these links would be shared on social media and then compiled into a monthly newsletter. I wonder if this is less intimidating for folks starting out.

As you know, I’m also trying to get nonprofits to think of different types of content besides text such as photo slideshows, video clips or audio segments that can be integrated into the work of the organization.

I’m a big Beth and Kivi booster and often refer their blogs to my clients. Plus I often cite them as a resource in my own Clairification.com blog. This is another great share, and now I’m going to be following Holly and Lightbox Collaborative as well.

I can’t agree more about the importance of having an editorial calendar for your content. Social media can help to spread your message, but it can’t make your message actionable or relevant. Only you can do that, and that means you’ve got to be thoughtful about it and message according to plan. This is a great tool to help you be intentional and consistent. Winging it doesn’t cut it.
