Make a four-week content calendar of short videos for my brand. - Product name: [PRODUCT NAME] - Who we want to reach: [WHO IT’S FOR] - Videos per week: [HOW MANY A WEEK] - Where we post: [TIKTOK, REELS OR SHORTS] - Dates that matter in these four weeks: [KEY DATES] - Themes we post about: [CONTENT PILLARS] Write it as a table with one row per video and these columns: week, day, platform, the idea in one line, the hook for the first two seconds, and who films it (a creator or our team). Rules: - Keep the pace I gave and post on the same days every week, so people know when to expect us. - Rotate the themes, and never use the same one twice in a row. - Put each key date in the right week, with the video going out before the date. - A creator films every video where a person uses the product in real life. Our team films screen recordings and announcements. - Make one slot each week a series: the same opening line, a new episode each week. After the table, list what has to be ready before week 1: the briefs for the creator videos, the team videos to film and the dates to confirm. Don’t invent features, numbers or results. If a fact is missing, write [ASK THE BRAND] instead of guessing. ``` Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or any other assistant. **02** Fill it in ## What to put in each part.

Octoclip wrote and checked the example output before it was published. FAQ ## This prompt, answered. What brands ask before they use it. **A person answers.** Can’t find your question? Write to us and someone at Octoclip replies. [Write to us](mailto:support@octoclip.io) ### What is a content calendar template? A plan of what you post and when: the week, the day, the platform, the idea and who makes it. With a template you keep the same columns every month and only fill in the ideas. ### How often should a brand post short videos? As often as you can keep up for a month. Two or three videos a week on the same days is a steady place to start. A pace you keep is worth more than a burst that stops. ### Who should film each video, a creator or my team? A creator for anything where a person uses the product in real life. Your team for screen recordings, announcements and posts that might change at the last minute. The prompt marks each row. ### Where do the ideas for the calendar come from? From your content pillars. If you don’t have them yet, run the [content ideas](https://octoclip.io/prompts/content-ideas) prompt first and paste its pillars in here. ### How do I get the creator videos filmed? Post the creator rows as one job on Octoclip, free, with each row as its own angle. Creators apply, you pick who films, and you pay when a creator accepts your offer. **A person answers.** Can’t find your question? Write to us and someone at Octoclip replies.
