Hey there!

You know you should be posting consistently and content helps build your brand.

But when it’s time to actually sit down and plan your posts, you start asking yourself…

“What do I even say?”

“How do I make it not sound repetitive?”

“How do I keep up without burning out?”

That’s where AI becomes your secret weapon.

With the right ChatGPT prompts, you can plan a 30-day social media calendar in under 30 minutes and fill it with engaging, on-brand content that actually supports your business.

Here’s exactly how to do it. 👇

Step 1: Define Your Content Buckets

Why this matters: Content becomes overwhelming when you try to reinvent the wheel daily. Instead, group your ideas into buckets — themes you rotate throughout the month.

Some common buckets:

• Educational

• Product-focused

• Behind the scenes

• User-generated content

• Social proof/testimonials

• Lifestyle/values

• Tips or FAQs

• Personal story or founder insights

Prompt Example:

“I run a brand that sells eco-friendly water bottles to outdoor enthusiasts. Suggest 5 content buckets I can rotate throughout the month to connect with this audience.”

✅ Once you have your buckets, ChatGPT can create content for each.

Step 2: Generate 30 Content Ideas, Balanced Across Buckets

Why this matters: You want variety without randomness. ChatGPT can help you build a balanced calendar that touches each pillar.

Prompt Example:

“Using the following content buckets [paste buckets], create a 30-day Instagram content calendar. Include post type (reel, image, carousel, story), content idea, and suggested caption angle.”

Step 3: Generate Captions for Each Post

Why this matters: The post idea is the “what.” The caption is the “how.” 

And it’s often where people get stuck. Use ChatGPT to write your captions in your brand voice.

Prompt Example:

“Write a friendly, outdoorsy Instagram caption (under 150 words) for a post about how our collapsible water bottles save space on long hikes. Include a light CTA like ‘Tag your hiking buddy.’”

Bonus: Add tone direction — playful, serious, minimalist, Gen Z, educational, etc.

✅ You can generate multiple caption versions per post and A/B test what works.

Step 4: Suggest Visuals for Each Idea

Why this matters: Content doesn’t live in words alone. 

Visuals help. ChatGPT can suggest visual direction even if you don’t have a creative team.

Prompt Example:

“For each of the 30 content ideas you gave me, suggest a visual concept that fits: photo, video, animation, quote image, or user-generated content. Be specific about the setting, subject, and feel.”

✅ This becomes a ready-made brief for your photoshoots or Canva design days.

Step 5: Organize It All Into a Calendar Format

Why this matters: Planning is one thing. Executing is another. 

You’ll want your final calendar to be visual, organized, and easy to follow.

Prompt Example:

“Create a 30-day calendar view of these content ideas. Include:

• Day number

• Post format

• Content angle

• Caption preview

• Visual idea

Return it as a table format that I can copy into Google Sheets or Notion.”

Final Thoughts

Most brands fail at social media not because they lack ideas, but because they lack a system.

ChatGPT gives you one. It helps you:

👉 Stay consistent

👉 Post with purpose

👉 Speak your brand’s language

👉 Plan content before you run out of steam

Whether you're posting 3x/week or every day, this approach keeps you clear, creative, and in control.
