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

[00:00] I'm going to show you exactly how to

[00:01] plan 31 days of content across four

[00:03] platforms. We're talking YouTube,

[00:05] Instagram, Tik Tok, and Threads in about

[00:07] an hour without getting overwhelmed or

[00:10] overthinking it. I want to show you

[00:11] exactly what I do to decide what to

[00:13] post, what to plan, how I use analytics,

[00:16] how I use AI to speed up the process,

[00:19] how to schedule things if you want to

[00:21] schedule so posts are automatically

[00:22] going up for you. As always, timestamps

[00:24] are below. Use them if you need them.

[00:26] Let's jump in. The first thing you need

[00:28] to know before you plan out anything is

[00:30] your goals. What are your goals with

[00:32] your content? For me, we're planning my

[00:34] content. So, let's talk about my goals.

[00:36] Right now, my goal with social media is

[00:38] not to grow as fast as possible. My

[00:41] focus right now is on maintaining my

[00:43] brand presence, which requires my brand

[00:46] to post across all social platforms that

[00:49] I teach on. You do not have to be on all

[00:51] places, but because I'm an educator that

[00:54] teaches YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok,

[00:56] it's probably a good idea to post across

[00:58] all those platforms. My other goal is to

[01:01] position myself as a thought leader and

[01:04] industry leader in this space, which

[01:06] means sharing my ideas, frameworks,

[01:08] opinions perspectives even

[01:10] encouragement, not just sharing

[01:12] educational how-to tips. as a thought

[01:15] leader. Some other places you could be

[01:16] are threads, Twitter or X and LinkedIn.

[01:21] So, I'm also going to be implementing

[01:22] threads in this video. And then my third

[01:24] goal right now is to create assets, not

[01:28] content. Assets that drive traffic to my

[01:31] business's core funnels. So, with those

[01:34] goals, that's going to determine

[01:36] everything that we plan today. It's

[01:37] going to determine how often I post,

[01:40] what I will post, and of course, the

[01:42] platforms to post on. Your goals will

[01:45] determine the same thing. The content

[01:47] you plan, how often to post, what to

[01:49] post, the platform to post to. With that

[01:51] said, let's start planning out my month

[01:53] of content. Starting with YouTube. When

[01:56] it comes to YouTube, I'm not guessing

[01:58] what to post anymore. I'm following my

[02:01] own content strategy matrix. Really the

[02:05] videos that my team and I create revolve

[02:08] around these four aspects. We have view

[02:11] magnets, subscriber magnets, revenue

[02:14] magnets, and support content. I feel

[02:16] like each one kind of summarizes itself.

[02:19] View magnets, these are videos that from

[02:21] my channel and my analytics I know are

[02:24] more likely to drive high views. Maybe

[02:26] they're the more like viral videos.

[02:29] Subscriber magnets. These are the videos

[02:31] or topics proven to bring in more

[02:33] subscribers. Revenue proven to either

[02:36] increase my business's revenue or

[02:39] increase YouTube ad revenue. And then

[02:41] support content. Those videos are mainly

[02:43] for my current subscribers and

[02:45] maintaining nurturing relationship and

[02:47] engagement with them. We honestly

[02:50] figured that out by going to my channel

[02:54] dashboard analytics and exporting all of

[02:57] the data from last year and then

[02:59] uploading it into chat GPT and asking

[03:02] ChatGBT to basically analyze our data

[03:05] and find these common factors or

[03:08] basically create this content strategy

[03:10] matrix to come up with content ideas or

[03:12] to figure out which ideas will fall

[03:14] under each pillar. You're going to

[03:16] determine that different ways. It's

[03:18] going to kind of vary per person. Some

[03:19] people, they love to look at the

[03:21] analytics themselves and dive into the

[03:24] numbers and see like, okay, what can we

[03:25] recreate here? So, you can absolutely

[03:27] study your own analytics. Others want to

[03:29] lean into AI. And so, you'll want to

[03:32] maybe look at your views by the past 365

[03:35] days and then export that and then sort

[03:38] instead of by views, by subscriber,

[03:40] export that, upload it to AI to analyze

[03:42] and give you those data points. Let's do

[03:44] this together. Let's pick out four video

[03:46] topics for the month of March. We're

[03:49] going to start from scratch here.

[03:51] Instead of using videos that are already

[03:54] in our list of YouTube ideas, I'm just

[03:57] going to do it from scratch to show you

[03:58] this process. Let's go to my YouTube

[04:01] analytics. I want to go to see more and

[04:03] just see what's currently working really

[04:05] well. We have this big spite from

[04:08] January. I posted a 3hour video teaching

[04:11] step-by-step how to become a content

[04:12] creator in 2026. So, that one is

[04:14] definitely a viral performer right now.

[04:16] This masterclass style video is

[04:18] something my team and I are thinking

[04:20] about recreating every quarter. Maybe

[04:22] the last 90 days, which videos have

[04:24] gotten the most views. And I'm going to

[04:27] also ignore this top video right here

[04:30] because this video, the brand was

[04:32] putting ad spend to it. And I also want

[04:35] to focus mostly on I just want long

[04:39] form. I'm not looking at shorts right

[04:41] now. So, let's just look at our long

[04:42] form videos. Looks like top performers,

[04:46] ignoring that first one. In terms of

[04:48] views, cap cut starting from zero on

[04:51] Instagram. Aesthetic videos. The content

[04:54] creator masterclass again. Zero. If I

[04:57] had to start from zero for Tik Tok.

[04:59] Another cap cut. Content creation. Oh,

[05:01] Tik Tok again. That's interesting.

[05:03] Creators making money and create and

[05:05] sell an ebook. Oh, cap cut again. So, it

[05:08] looks like the cap cut tutorials are

[05:10] performing pretty well across all my cap

[05:13] cut videos. That's definitely something

[05:15] to think about, consider for a potential

[05:18] upcoming topic. And then also recurring

[05:20] themes. I noticed people love the start

[05:22] from zero and grow. And content creation

[05:26] at a whole, we have how to create

[05:28] aesthetic videos, how to become a

[05:30] content creator, stop making boring

[05:32] videos, how to come up with social

[05:34] posts. So, like creating content could

[05:37] be one to lean into. I also would be

[05:39] curious because this is a top performer.

[05:42] Seeing this sort of video as a

[05:44] masterclass structure. This might not be

[05:46] a March thing, but maybe an April thing

[05:48] doing a full master class of how to film

[05:51] content would be really cool. This is

[05:54] giving me a good pulse of what people

[05:56] are interested in, but also I want to go

[05:59] and see what content my audience is

[06:02] really watching right now and other

[06:05] channels. So, we have other channels and

[06:08] they're watching Cap Cut again. Start

[06:11] and grow on YouTube. I don't have a

[06:13] start and grow on YouTube in the top

[06:15] ranking right now. We had an Instagram

[06:17] and a Tik Tok. So, that could be hooks,

[06:19] how to go viral. Again, the

[06:21] transformation 0 to 200,000. Let's do

[06:24] one idea could be to go from zero to

[06:31] 1,000 subscribers on YouTube. So, this

[06:35] transformation that's going to be a good

[06:36] view magnet. Now, let's focus on

[06:39] subscriber magnet overview. See more. We

[06:43] are now last 90 days by subscriber. Cap

[06:47] cuta. Interesting. The aesthetic one

[06:50] also interesting. So, these are kind of

[06:52] showing me similar things to show you in

[06:55] case you don't have analytics yourself.

[06:57] I'm going to show you other ways to come

[06:59] up with these topic ideas or video

[07:02] ideas. I'm going to go to competitors or

[07:05] niche neighbors and I'm going to look at

[07:07] their latest top performers and see if

[07:10] there's anything that I could lean into

[07:12] with that. We have another cap cut one.

[07:15] Okay, that's interesting. I like this

[07:18] approach of what not to post in 2026 to

[07:22] grow on social media and even leaning

[07:24] into what types of content are dead. So

[07:28] that could be like a good viral leaning

[07:30] one. Right now I'm looking at of the

[07:32] latest videos which ones have higher

[07:34] view counts than normal. This one has

[07:37] higher view count than normal. This one

[07:38] has higher view count than normal. Okay,

[07:40] I think we have to do like a content

[07:42] creator one. So, let's do how to make

[07:46] your content look better than it

[07:49] actually is. Something like that. Now,

[07:52] aside from studying our analytics, let's

[07:54] lean into the AI train and see what

[07:57] happens when you plug in your analytics.

[07:59] All right. So, this is what I have. I

[08:01] say, "Here's my YouTube channel stats

[08:02] from 2025 ranked in order from most

[08:05] viewed to least viewed. Can you act as a

[08:06] YouTube marketing expert to tell me as

[08:08] much info as possible with these things?

[08:10] These are my goals. I want to be known

[08:12] for this. Let's do this. So now we have

[08:15] topics your audience loved. Editing,

[08:17] step by step, monetization, content

[08:19] creation. So yeah, we kind of tackled

[08:21] those. And so it's telling me a little

[08:22] bit of what I already know. So this is

[08:25] where we wanted to build the content

[08:27] strategy matrix and create the view

[08:29] magnet, subscriber magnets. Now I have

[08:32] somewhere to navigate me. And then I'm

[08:34] going to ask it, can you help me come up

[08:36] with new ideas, things that I haven't

[08:39] done yet? So now of these ideas, I can

[08:42] pick and choose ones to place in my

[08:44] calendar. I love leaning into AI. I

[08:46] think AI is really interesting. So 10 AI

[08:48] tools that will save you 10 hours a week

[08:50] as a content creator. I love that. So

[08:52] let's do that. We have a subscriber

[08:55] magnet, revenue magnet, from side hustle

[08:57] to full-time. I like that phrasing. So

[08:59] let's do how to make five as a content

[09:02] creator. As you can see, there's a lot

[09:04] of different ways to come up with ideas.

[09:05] Sometimes I'm not trying to reinvent the

[09:07] wheel. I'm just like looking for

[09:09] patterns, looking to see what's working.

[09:10] And once I know what's working, that's

[09:12] when I could either drop it into my

[09:14] calendar or utilize chat GPT to help me

[09:17] generate new ideas to build on top of

[09:19] those topics. And the reason I start

[09:21] with YouTube is for me, I consider

[09:22] YouTube to be my main platform. From

[09:25] these topics, I can repurpose that into

[09:27] multiple other platforms because this is

[09:29] a long form piece of content. It's

[09:32] usually 10, 15, 20 minutes long. and

[09:34] then that can be repurposed into an

[09:36] email newsletter into threads into short

[09:38] form content. So, this is going to

[09:39] establish the rest of the funnel for the

[09:42] content we're about to plan out. If

[09:43] you've learned something new so far, be

[09:44] sure to give the video a thumbs up. Now,

[09:46] if you learn two new things by the end

[09:48] of this video, consider subscribing if

[09:50] you're not already subscribed. That is a

[09:52] simple way that you can support me and

[09:55] my channel, and it allows me to continue

[09:57] to create free content like this for you

[10:00] and other creators every single week.

[10:01] So, let's move on to threads. The reason

[10:04] I'm jumping to Threads next is two

[10:06] reasons. One, I can already get some

[10:09] quick wins by pulling from last month's

[10:11] YouTube videos and create quick

[10:14] scheduled posts right now. And then two,

[10:16] not only can I pull from previous

[10:18] videos, but I also have like a running

[10:19] list of things that I am ready to post

[10:21] and schedule on threads. So, let's do

[10:24] that real quick. Let me show you. We're

[10:26] going to just schedule all of my

[10:28] threads. Posts. Threads. One thing that

[10:32] I like to do, I keep a list of

[10:34] everything that I'm learning and working

[10:36] on in my business. And then I just share

[10:39] what I know, what I'm learning, what's

[10:41] impacted me, different phrases that

[10:43] really stood out to me. So, we're going

[10:44] to just like go through my journal and

[10:46] notebook, and then even like my notes

[10:48] app on my phone, everything that I've

[10:49] written down. If you're listening to a

[10:50] podcast or if you're watching a YouTube

[10:52] video, if you learn something new, write

[10:54] it down. Thread post. Okay. Another

[10:56] thing I can do, new chat based on

[11:00] everything you already know about my

[11:04] business and creator goals, how I want

[11:07] to position

[11:16] working well on threads right now. Oh,

[11:20] that's good. That is so what I teach.

[11:22] It's an unpopular opinion picking one

[11:24] platform to start with, but it's so

[11:26] true. Want consistent growth on social

[11:29] media.

[11:34] Do a third. Let's do 6:00 a.m. schedule.

[11:37] Let's go to like my notes again. Ooh,

[11:39] let's do my daily mantras. Yeah,

[11:45] I have a bunch of these mantras and I

[11:47] could just do like today's mantra thing

[11:49] every week.

[12:00] Post about your favorite brands. It's

[12:03] really that simple. Let's go back to

[12:06] chat. Some of these are not like

[12:08] frameworks that I teach, but we're just

[12:10] using the ones that I like. Oh, I like

[12:12] this. If you're ignoring analytics,

[12:14] you're guessing. You have to have 100%

[12:16] clarity on what you want.

[12:25] They won't see you coming. Literally so

[12:28] freaking easy. I'm not even done going

[12:30] through my notes. I have this other

[12:32] page. I also still have my scripts that

[12:35] I can start pulling from. So like this

[12:37] one, if you want to get PR as a content

[12:42] creator, this is what brands are looking

[12:46] for.

[12:47] alignment,

[12:49] engagement,

[12:57] and fit a brand's demographics. Another

[13:00] thing to get from the script, six things

[13:02] you can do to start landing PR. Let's

[13:04] schedule it. Six things you can do to

[13:08] start landing PR as a content creator.

[13:14] Other

[13:22] creators are landing pitch. I love batch

[13:26] planning and scheduling content like

[13:28] this because I feel like it takes a

[13:30] whole load off of my brain. And the tool

[13:32] that I'm using to do this is metricool.

[13:34] This is the tool that my team and I use

[13:36] to schedule and manage content across

[13:39] platforms in one place. You just saw me

[13:42] do it with threads. But not only can you

[13:43] use threads, you could do it with other

[13:45] social medias. So, as you can see here,

[13:47] I have like my Facebook, Instagram, Tik

[13:48] Tok, and YouTube linked. You could link

[13:51] other socials as well. So, right here,

[13:53] more connections. There are so many

[13:55] other platforms that you can connect to.

[13:58] But what I love, love, love the most

[13:59] about Metricle is that it's not just

[14:01] auler oruler app. You can also look at

[14:04] analytics, check the best times to

[14:06] posts, and see how your content is

[14:08] performing across platforms without

[14:10] having to bounce between different apps.

[14:12] So, if you're somebody who thrives off

[14:14] of like batch creating or batch

[14:16] scheduling, having a tool that allows

[14:18] you to schedule it all out in one

[14:20] sitting like we're doing right now is

[14:22] going to be like the secret to getting

[14:25] ish done. Metro works really well

[14:27] whether you're a solo creator or working

[14:29] with a team. So, I will leave a link

[14:30] below where you can start using it.

[14:32] Plus, if you want to try out their

[14:35] premium plan for free for 30 days, you

[14:37] could use my code, modern Millie. So,

[14:40] thank you so much, Magical, for

[14:41] sponsoring this video. I'm a fan. I've

[14:43] been a fan. My team and I use it. We

[14:45] love Magical. Now that we have threads

[14:47] scheduled and we have YouTube done, we

[14:50] are going to focus on short form. I

[14:53] really just do like short form as a

[14:55] whole. So, I just focus on short form

[14:58] videos and then I post that one video

[15:00] across all short form platforms. reals,

[15:02] Tik Tok, shorts. Right now, I'm not

[15:04] creating like Instagram specific and

[15:06] then like Tik Tok specific and then

[15:08] shorts specific. That's not my approach

[15:10] just based off of what my goals are. So,

[15:12] we're just picking individual shorts

[15:14] topics that we could repurpose to all

[15:16] shorts platforms. So, similar to

[15:17] planning out YouTube, I'm going to use

[15:20] that content strategy matrix. We're

[15:22] focusing on views pillar which brings in

[15:24] the most followers, revenue, and also

[15:26] like support content. So, we need to

[15:28] look at analytics this way because I am

[15:32] looking I post short form across the

[15:34] board. This is where metricool is

[15:36] helpful because I'm able to see

[15:37] Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube shorts

[15:40] data all in one place and kind of tells

[15:42] me what is working well. So, we have our

[15:46] list of posts here and what's going to

[15:49] expand that to 50. We also have a date

[15:51] range here from the last 30 days, but I

[15:53] think I want to go last 3 months and see

[15:56] what's working well. I'm also going to

[15:58] open up our short form calendar and

[16:02] start planning and we'll see what we got

[16:05] here. All right, we have Tik Tok.

[16:08] Interesting. We have a carousel as like

[16:10] the top Instagram performer. That's so

[16:13] interesting. Oh my gosh, we have a few

[16:14] carousels. I might have to do some

[16:16] carousels in place of reals. So, usually

[16:19] for me, I like to do reals or post to

[16:22] short form Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I

[16:24] leave Tuesdays and Thursdays completely

[16:26] open because I post my minimum post per

[16:29] week. That's like realistically what can

[16:32] I do? Not in this dream fantasy world

[16:33] where I'm like, "Yeah, I could post all

[16:35] day every day." No, realistically, what

[16:36] can I do? I think realistically I could

[16:38] do three posts a week. We leave Tuesday

[16:39] and Thursday open for those weeks where

[16:41] I'm feeling extra energized or I want to

[16:43] hop on a trend or if a brand is like,

[16:45] "Hey, do you have availability to do a

[16:48] post in the next week or two?" So, we

[16:49] love to leave some wiggle room. And

[16:51] that's why I love to use that minimum

[16:53] post per week method. So, we're going to

[16:56] do looking at analytics here based off

[16:59] of impressions. This one got really

[17:02] great impressions. This one, the

[17:05] repurposing content. I do think I could

[17:07] do another example of this. Let me see

[17:10] what the comments said cuz sometimes

[17:12] I'll use the comments to give me some

[17:14] guidance on another direction. Okay. I

[17:17] keep seeing the same comments. Do you

[17:19] post them back toback or do you split

[17:20] them up? Do you suggest spreading the

[17:22] videos out or posting them back to back?

[17:24] When I post the videos consecutively or

[17:26] mix it in with other content. So, I

[17:28] think that's definitely something I need

[17:29] to answer for my audience. And right

[17:31] now, I'm just kind of like picking the

[17:32] video topic. I'm not sitting deep dive

[17:35] on like, okay, what's the hook going to

[17:36] be? How am I going to film it? How am I

[17:37] going to script it? I just know for sure

[17:39] I need to do a followup on repurposing

[17:43] video. Spreading out repurposed content.

[17:47] Okay, this is a good one that I could

[17:48] redo because it's been more than 60 days

[17:51] since we last posted it. So, we could do

[17:53] an updated how much I got paid over

[17:55] time. Platform comparison. It's a

[17:57] carousel, but I am okay with that. I

[17:59] could do carousels on Tik Tok as well.

[18:01] Just means shorts won't have a post that

[18:03] day. Yeah, lots of carousels. That's

[18:05] really cool. Okay, I do need to do a

[18:06] follow-up on this brand partnership one.

[18:10] It's a instead of this, try this. It's

[18:13] hooks for brand collaborations and

[18:15] creating unique spins when working with

[18:18] brands within your content. I did a

[18:20] really good money hook on this one. So,

[18:22] I wonder if I could do another waving

[18:23] money. We know the hook. It was a good

[18:25] visual hook. If you want to make money

[18:27] as a content creator and then waving

[18:30] money is going to be the hook. Now,

[18:33] again, we could use data. If we don't

[18:35] have data, we could use our niche

[18:37] neighbors competitors. If we don't have

[18:39] niche neighbors competitors, we can use

[18:41] AI and help us come up with content.

[18:44] Tell whatever AI tool you're using your

[18:46] goals as a content creator, who you are

[18:48] as a content creator, who you post for,

[18:50] who is your target audience, your niche,

[18:51] if you have a niche, also the platform

[18:53] that you're choosing to post to. Are you

[18:55] creating long form, short form, where do

[18:57] you want to be? What's your end goal? So

[18:59] give AI all the data and then be like

[19:01] help me come up with like 25 different

[19:03] videos that will get go viral, grab

[19:05] attention, get views, 25 that could

[19:07] increase followers, 25 that could

[19:09] increase revenue if these are my revenue

[19:11] goals, and then 25 of just give me any

[19:13] idea that you have. So that's a fun

[19:15] approach to get like hundreds of

[19:16] different video ideas. And then now that

[19:18] I have like some videos that are from

[19:21] data, now we could also connect the

[19:23] YouTube ones with the Instagram ones.

[19:26] So, we have a YouTube one that was maybe

[19:29] I could do a 60-second how to get your

[19:32] first 1,000 followers on YouTube. That

[19:36] was one of the YouTube videos that we

[19:37] had planned. And then the other video we

[19:39] had, make your content look better than

[19:41] it actually is. Let's do three simple

[19:44] ways to level up your content. AI tools.

[19:48] Ooh, I could do like a two-parter. What

[19:50] if I do like part one here? Five AI

[19:53] tools for creators. part one. And then

[19:57] there we go. We found our money-making

[19:59] one. How to make $5,000 a month as a

[20:02] content creator. And then last month, we

[20:05] had plan 31 days while you're stuck. Oh,

[20:08] another PR one. Let's do how to plan 31

[20:13] days of content across four platforms in

[20:17] 1 hour. Six things you can do to start

[20:21] getting PR. what brands look for before

[20:25] sending you PR. Great. Now, we have all

[20:28] of our short form content planned out.

[20:30] Again, this is not my goal is not to go

[20:32] viral to grow. This is just I want to

[20:34] maintain what I'm already doing, my

[20:36] brand presence, what I know my audience

[20:38] resonates with, not trying to reinvent

[20:40] the wheel right now. Not trying to think

[20:41] outside of the box right now. This is

[20:43] just based off of my goals as a business

[20:46] owner in this season that I'm in. If you

[20:48] do a similar approach with planning out

[20:51] your content, the reason why I like it

[20:53] is because I feel like it doesn't lead

[20:54] me to burnout. I know realistically what

[20:57] I can do with the support of my team. Of

[20:59] course, it's going to look different

[21:00] from you. So again, keep in mind what is

[21:02] going to be realistic. And then if

[21:04] you're feeling adventurous and you do

[21:05] more, you do more. And that's okay. I

[21:07] start with goals. I plan in a specific

[21:10] order knowing YouTube can then

[21:12] repurpose. I batch when I can. So I

[21:14] batch plan my content. And then I'll

[21:16] batch brainstorm the reels and really

[21:19] like maybe script them. And then I'll

[21:20] batch film. So each step has its own

[21:23] batching time. And then things that can

[21:26] get scheduled, they get scheduled

[21:28] threads. I already scheduled those.

[21:30] After my team and I finish editing the

[21:32] videos in ClickUp, they'll go on and

[21:34] schedule them to post for us. Now, if

[21:36] you're curious about like the content

[21:38] strategy matrix and how you can create

[21:41] one for your business or your goals as a

[21:43] content creator, let me know down below.

[21:45] That's a framework that I am having fun

[21:48] playing with and teaching other people

[21:50] how to adapt to their own brands. Thank

[21:52] you so much for watching. I will see you

[21:54] all in the next one. Follow your joy.

[21:56] Bye.
