# How to Plan 31 Days of Content in 6 Days (Without Burning Out)

> Source: [How to Plan 31 Days of Content in 6 Days (Without Burning Out)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=OIjZRsWYjNc)

## Summary

The video presents a systematic method for planning a month's worth of content across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Threads in about an hour. The creator emphasizes starting with clear goals, using analytics and AI to generate ideas, and repurposing long-form content into short-form posts. The process is designed to prevent burnout by focusing on realistic posting frequencies and batch scheduling.

### Key Points

- **Start with Goals** [00:28] — Before planning content, define your goals. The creator's goals are maintaining brand presence, positioning as a thought leader, and creating assets that drive traffic to business funnels.
- **Content Strategy Matrix** [01:56] — YouTube content is categorized into four pillars: view magnets (high views), subscriber magnets (grow subscribers), revenue magnets (increase revenue), and support content (nurture existing subscribers).
- **Using Analytics and AI for Ideas** [02:57] — Export YouTube analytics data and upload to ChatGPT to identify top-performing topics and generate new ideas. Alternatively, study analytics manually or look at competitors' top performers.
- **Planning Threads Content** [10:04] — Pull from previous YouTube videos, personal notes, and scripts to create quick scheduled posts. Use a journal or notes app to capture ideas and repurpose them into threads.
- **Batch Scheduling with Metricool** [13:32] — Use Metricool to schedule content across platforms in one sitting. It also provides analytics to check best posting times and cross-platform performance.
- **Short Form Content Planning** [14:53] — Treat short form as a whole: create one video and post across Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. Use the same content strategy matrix and analytics to pick topics. Leave wiggle room in the calendar for trends or brand deals.
- **Using AI for Short Form Ideas** [18:44] — Feed AI your goals, audience, niche, and platform, then ask for 25 video ideas per pillar (views, followers, revenue, support). Combine with data-driven ideas for a full calendar.

### Conclusion

The key to sustainable content planning is starting with clear goals, using data and AI to inform decisions, and batching tasks to avoid burnout. By repurposing long-form content and scheduling in advance, you can maintain a consistent presence across multiple platforms without overthinking.

## Transcript

I'm going to show you exactly how to
plan 31 days of content across four
platforms. We're talking YouTube,
Instagram, Tik Tok, and Threads in about
an hour without getting overwhelmed or
overthinking it. I want to show you
exactly what I do to decide what to
post, what to plan, how I use analytics,
how I use AI to speed up the process,
how to schedule things if you want to
schedule so posts are automatically
going up for you. As always, timestamps
are below. Use them if you need them.
Let's jump in. The first thing you need
to know before you plan out anything is
your goals. What are your goals with
your content? For me, we're planning my
content. So, let's talk about my goals.
Right now, my goal with social media is
not to grow as fast as possible. My
focus right now is on maintaining my
brand presence, which requires my brand
to post across all social platforms that
I teach on. You do not have to be on all
places, but because I'm an educator that
teaches YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok,
it's probably a good idea to post across
all those platforms. My other goal is to
position myself as a thought leader and
industry leader in this space, which
means sharing my ideas, frameworks,
opinions perspectives even
encouragement, not just sharing
educational how-to tips. as a thought
leader. Some other places you could be
are threads, Twitter or X and LinkedIn.
So, I'm also going to be implementing
threads in this video. And then my third
goal right now is to create assets, not
content. Assets that drive traffic to my
business's core funnels. So, with those
goals, that's going to determine
everything that we plan today. It's
going to determine how often I post,
what I will post, and of course, the
platforms to post on. Your goals will
determine the same thing. The content
you plan, how often to post, what to
post, the platform to post to. With that
said, let's start planning out my month
of content. Starting with YouTube. When
it comes to YouTube, I'm not guessing
what to post anymore. I'm following my
own content strategy matrix. Really the
videos that my team and I create revolve
around these four aspects. We have view
magnets, subscriber magnets, revenue
magnets, and support content. I feel
like each one kind of summarizes itself.
View magnets, these are videos that from
my channel and my analytics I know are
more likely to drive high views. Maybe
they're the more like viral videos.
Subscriber magnets. These are the videos
or topics proven to bring in more
subscribers. Revenue proven to either
increase my business's revenue or
increase YouTube ad revenue. And then
support content. Those videos are mainly
for my current subscribers and
maintaining nurturing relationship and
engagement with them. We honestly
figured that out by going to my channel
dashboard analytics and exporting all of
the data from last year and then
uploading it into chat GPT and asking
ChatGBT to basically analyze our data
and find these common factors or
basically create this content strategy
matrix to come up with content ideas or
to figure out which ideas will fall
under each pillar. You're going to
determine that different ways. It's
going to kind of vary per person. Some
people, they love to look at the
analytics themselves and dive into the
numbers and see like, okay, what can we
recreate here? So, you can absolutely
study your own analytics. Others want to
lean into AI. And so, you'll want to
maybe look at your views by the past 365
days and then export that and then sort
instead of by views, by subscriber,
export that, upload it to AI to analyze
and give you those data points. Let's do
this together. Let's pick out four video
topics for the month of March. We're
going to start from scratch here.
Instead of using videos that are already
in our list of YouTube ideas, I'm just
going to do it from scratch to show you
this process. Let's go to my YouTube
analytics. I want to go to see more and
just see what's currently working really
well. We have this big spite from
January. I posted a 3hour video teaching
step-by-step how to become a content
creator in 2026. So, that one is
definitely a viral performer right now.
This masterclass style video is
something my team and I are thinking
about recreating every quarter. Maybe
the last 90 days, which videos have
gotten the most views. And I'm going to
also ignore this top video right here
because this video, the brand was
putting ad spend to it. And I also want
to focus mostly on I just want long
form. I'm not looking at shorts right
now. So, let's just look at our long
form videos. Looks like top performers,
ignoring that first one. In terms of
views, cap cut starting from zero on
Instagram. Aesthetic videos. The content
creator masterclass again. Zero. If I
had to start from zero for Tik Tok.
Another cap cut. Content creation. Oh,
Tik Tok again. That's interesting.
Creators making money and create and
sell an ebook. Oh, cap cut again. So, it
looks like the cap cut tutorials are
performing pretty well across all my cap
cut videos. That's definitely something
to think about, consider for a potential
upcoming topic. And then also recurring
themes. I noticed people love the start
from zero and grow. And content creation
at a whole, we have how to create
aesthetic videos, how to become a
content creator, stop making boring
videos, how to come up with social
posts. So, like creating content could
be one to lean into. I also would be
curious because this is a top performer.
Seeing this sort of video as a
masterclass structure. This might not be
a March thing, but maybe an April thing
doing a full master class of how to film
content would be really cool. This is
giving me a good pulse of what people
are interested in, but also I want to go
and see what content my audience is
really watching right now and other
channels. So, we have other channels and
they're watching Cap Cut again. Start
and grow on YouTube. I don't have a
start and grow on YouTube in the top
ranking right now. We had an Instagram
and a Tik Tok. So, that could be hooks,
how to go viral. Again, the
transformation 0 to 200,000. Let's do
one idea could be to go from zero to
1,000 subscribers on YouTube. So, this
transformation that's going to be a good
view magnet. Now, let's focus on
subscriber magnet overview. See more. We
are now last 90 days by subscriber. Cap
cuta. Interesting. The aesthetic one
also interesting. So, these are kind of
showing me similar things to show you in
case you don't have analytics yourself.
I'm going to show you other ways to come
up with these topic ideas or video
ideas. I'm going to go to competitors or
niche neighbors and I'm going to look at
their latest top performers and see if
there's anything that I could lean into
with that. We have another cap cut one.
Okay, that's interesting. I like this
approach of what not to post in 2026 to
grow on social media and even leaning
into what types of content are dead. So
that could be like a good viral leaning
one. Right now I'm looking at of the
latest videos which ones have higher
view counts than normal. This one has
higher view count than normal. This one
has higher view count than normal. Okay,
I think we have to do like a content
creator one. So, let's do how to make
your content look better than it
actually is. Something like that. Now,
aside from studying our analytics, let's
lean into the AI train and see what
happens when you plug in your analytics.
All right. So, this is what I have. I
say, "Here's my YouTube channel stats
from 2025 ranked in order from most
viewed to least viewed. Can you act as a
YouTube marketing expert to tell me as
much info as possible with these things?
These are my goals. I want to be known
for this. Let's do this. So now we have
topics your audience loved. Editing,
step by step, monetization, content
creation. So yeah, we kind of tackled
those. And so it's telling me a little
bit of what I already know. So this is
where we wanted to build the content
strategy matrix and create the view
magnet, subscriber magnets. Now I have
somewhere to navigate me. And then I'm
going to ask it, can you help me come up
with new ideas, things that I haven't
done yet? So now of these ideas, I can
pick and choose ones to place in my
calendar. I love leaning into AI. I
think AI is really interesting. So 10 AI
tools that will save you 10 hours a week
as a content creator. I love that. So
let's do that. We have a subscriber
magnet, revenue magnet, from side hustle
to full-time. I like that phrasing. So
let's do how to make five as a content
creator. As you can see, there's a lot
of different ways to come up with ideas.
Sometimes I'm not trying to reinvent the
wheel. I'm just like looking for
patterns, looking to see what's working.
And once I know what's working, that's
when I could either drop it into my
calendar or utilize chat GPT to help me
generate new ideas to build on top of
those topics. And the reason I start
with YouTube is for me, I consider
YouTube to be my main platform. From
these topics, I can repurpose that into
multiple other platforms because this is
a long form piece of content. It's
usually 10, 15, 20 minutes long. and
then that can be repurposed into an
email newsletter into threads into short
form content. So, this is going to
establish the rest of the funnel for the
content we're about to plan out. If
you've learned something new so far, be
sure to give the video a thumbs up. Now,
if you learn two new things by the end
of this video, consider subscribing if
you're not already subscribed. That is a
simple way that you can support me and
my channel, and it allows me to continue
to create free content like this for you
and other creators every single week.
So, let's move on to threads. The reason
I'm jumping to Threads next is two
reasons. One, I can already get some
quick wins by pulling from last month's
YouTube videos and create quick
scheduled posts right now. And then two,
not only can I pull from previous
videos, but I also have like a running
list of things that I am ready to post
and schedule on threads. So, let's do
that real quick. Let me show you. We're
going to just schedule all of my
threads. Posts. Threads. One thing that
I like to do, I keep a list of
everything that I'm learning and working
on in my business. And then I just share
what I know, what I'm learning, what's
impacted me, different phrases that
really stood out to me. So, we're going
to just like go through my journal and
notebook, and then even like my notes
app on my phone, everything that I've
written down. If you're listening to a
podcast or if you're watching a YouTube
video, if you learn something new, write
it down. Thread post. Okay. Another
thing I can do, new chat based on
everything you already know about my
business and creator goals, how I want
to position
working well on threads right now. Oh,
that's good. That is so what I teach.
It's an unpopular opinion picking one
platform to start with, but it's so
true. Want consistent growth on social
media.
Do a third. Let's do 6:00 a.m. schedule.
Let's go to like my notes again. Ooh,
let's do my daily mantras. Yeah,
I have a bunch of these mantras and I
could just do like today's mantra thing
every week.
Post about your favorite brands. It's
really that simple. Let's go back to
chat. Some of these are not like
frameworks that I teach, but we're just
using the ones that I like. Oh, I like
this. If you're ignoring analytics,
you're guessing. You have to have 100%
clarity on what you want.
They won't see you coming. Literally so
freaking easy. I'm not even done going
through my notes. I have this other
page. I also still have my scripts that
I can start pulling from. So like this
one, if you want to get PR as a content
creator, this is what brands are looking
for.
alignment,
engagement,
and fit a brand's demographics. Another
thing to get from the script, six things
you can do to start landing PR. Let's
schedule it. Six things you can do to
start landing PR as a content creator.
Other
creators are landing pitch. I love batch
planning and scheduling content like
this because I feel like it takes a
whole load off of my brain. And the tool
that I'm using to do this is metricool.
This is the tool that my team and I use
to schedule and manage content across
platforms in one place. You just saw me
do it with threads. But not only can you
use threads, you could do it with other
social medias. So, as you can see here,
I have like my Facebook, Instagram, Tik
Tok, and YouTube linked. You could link
other socials as well. So, right here,
more connections. There are so many
other platforms that you can connect to.
But what I love, love, love the most
about Metricle is that it's not just
auler oruler app. You can also look at
analytics, check the best times to
posts, and see how your content is
performing across platforms without
having to bounce between different apps.
So, if you're somebody who thrives off
of like batch creating or batch
scheduling, having a tool that allows
you to schedule it all out in one
sitting like we're doing right now is
going to be like the secret to getting
ish done. Metro works really well
whether you're a solo creator or working
with a team. So, I will leave a link
below where you can start using it.
Plus, if you want to try out their
premium plan for free for 30 days, you
could use my code, modern Millie. So,
thank you so much, Magical, for
sponsoring this video. I'm a fan. I've
been a fan. My team and I use it. We
love Magical. Now that we have threads
scheduled and we have YouTube done, we
are going to focus on short form. I
really just do like short form as a
whole. So, I just focus on short form
videos and then I post that one video
across all short form platforms. reals,
Tik Tok, shorts. Right now, I'm not
creating like Instagram specific and
then like Tik Tok specific and then
shorts specific. That's not my approach
just based off of what my goals are. So,
we're just picking individual shorts
topics that we could repurpose to all
shorts platforms. So, similar to
planning out YouTube, I'm going to use
that content strategy matrix. We're
focusing on views pillar which brings in
the most followers, revenue, and also
like support content. So, we need to
look at analytics this way because I am
looking I post short form across the
board. This is where metricool is
helpful because I'm able to see
Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube shorts
data all in one place and kind of tells
me what is working well. So, we have our
list of posts here and what's going to
expand that to 50. We also have a date
range here from the last 30 days, but I
think I want to go last 3 months and see
what's working well. I'm also going to
open up our short form calendar and
start planning and we'll see what we got
here. All right, we have Tik Tok.
Interesting. We have a carousel as like
the top Instagram performer. That's so
interesting. Oh my gosh, we have a few
carousels. I might have to do some
carousels in place of reals. So, usually
for me, I like to do reals or post to
short form Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I
leave Tuesdays and Thursdays completely
open because I post my minimum post per
week. That's like realistically what can
I do? Not in this dream fantasy world
where I'm like, "Yeah, I could post all
day every day." No, realistically, what
can I do? I think realistically I could
do three posts a week. We leave Tuesday
and Thursday open for those weeks where
I'm feeling extra energized or I want to
hop on a trend or if a brand is like,
"Hey, do you have availability to do a
post in the next week or two?" So, we
love to leave some wiggle room. And
that's why I love to use that minimum
post per week method. So, we're going to
do looking at analytics here based off
of impressions. This one got really
great impressions. This one, the
repurposing content. I do think I could
do another example of this. Let me see
what the comments said cuz sometimes
I'll use the comments to give me some
guidance on another direction. Okay. I
keep seeing the same comments. Do you
post them back toback or do you split
them up? Do you suggest spreading the
videos out or posting them back to back?
When I post the videos consecutively or
mix it in with other content. So, I
think that's definitely something I need
to answer for my audience. And right
now, I'm just kind of like picking the
video topic. I'm not sitting deep dive
on like, okay, what's the hook going to
be? How am I going to film it? How am I
going to script it? I just know for sure
I need to do a followup on repurposing
video. Spreading out repurposed content.
Okay, this is a good one that I could
redo because it's been more than 60 days
since we last posted it. So, we could do
an updated how much I got paid over
time. Platform comparison. It's a
carousel, but I am okay with that. I
could do carousels on Tik Tok as well.
Just means shorts won't have a post that
day. Yeah, lots of carousels. That's
really cool. Okay, I do need to do a
follow-up on this brand partnership one.
It's a instead of this, try this. It's
hooks for brand collaborations and
creating unique spins when working with
brands within your content. I did a
really good money hook on this one. So,
I wonder if I could do another waving
money. We know the hook. It was a good
visual hook. If you want to make money
as a content creator and then waving
money is going to be the hook. Now,
again, we could use data. If we don't
have data, we could use our niche
neighbors competitors. If we don't have
niche neighbors competitors, we can use
AI and help us come up with content.
Tell whatever AI tool you're using your
goals as a content creator, who you are
as a content creator, who you post for,
who is your target audience, your niche,
if you have a niche, also the platform
that you're choosing to post to. Are you
creating long form, short form, where do
you want to be? What's your end goal? So
give AI all the data and then be like
help me come up with like 25 different
videos that will get go viral, grab
attention, get views, 25 that could
increase followers, 25 that could
increase revenue if these are my revenue
goals, and then 25 of just give me any
idea that you have. So that's a fun
approach to get like hundreds of
different video ideas. And then now that
I have like some videos that are from
data, now we could also connect the
YouTube ones with the Instagram ones.
So, we have a YouTube one that was maybe
I could do a 60-second how to get your
first 1,000 followers on YouTube. That
was one of the YouTube videos that we
had planned. And then the other video we
had, make your content look better than
it actually is. Let's do three simple
ways to level up your content. AI tools.
Ooh, I could do like a two-parter. What
if I do like part one here? Five AI
tools for creators. part one. And then
there we go. We found our money-making
one. How to make $5,000 a month as a
content creator. And then last month, we
had plan 31 days while you're stuck. Oh,
another PR one. Let's do how to plan 31
days of content across four platforms in
1 hour. Six things you can do to start
getting PR. what brands look for before
sending you PR. Great. Now, we have all
of our short form content planned out.
Again, this is not my goal is not to go
viral to grow. This is just I want to
maintain what I'm already doing, my
brand presence, what I know my audience
resonates with, not trying to reinvent
the wheel right now. Not trying to think
outside of the box right now. This is
just based off of my goals as a business
owner in this season that I'm in. If you
do a similar approach with planning out
your content, the reason why I like it
is because I feel like it doesn't lead
me to burnout. I know realistically what
I can do with the support of my team. Of
course, it's going to look different
from you. So again, keep in mind what is
going to be realistic. And then if
you're feeling adventurous and you do
more, you do more. And that's okay. I
start with goals. I plan in a specific
order knowing YouTube can then
repurpose. I batch when I can. So I
batch plan my content. And then I'll
batch brainstorm the reels and really
like maybe script them. And then I'll
batch film. So each step has its own
batching time. And then things that can
get scheduled, they get scheduled
threads. I already scheduled those.
After my team and I finish editing the
videos in ClickUp, they'll go on and
schedule them to post for us. Now, if
you're curious about like the content
strategy matrix and how you can create
one for your business or your goals as a
content creator, let me know down below.
That's a framework that I am having fun
playing with and teaching other people
how to adapt to their own brands. Thank
you so much for watching. I will see you
all in the next one. Follow your joy.
Bye.
