[@katherinesenderos]

thank you for all your wisdom queen! I really do always apply it to my life🙌🏻.

[@melissayoung8681]

The monthly idea 💡 for a content share video is GREAT! I feel like the content might change a little each month or to show when to start repeating (in a different way) content that is useful but already shared months ago.. Mostly because my business (photography) changes with seasons. So I feel like I have more sessions to share in summer and fall, then I do back end work from December to April. (I am a senior photographer (for high school graduates) so I feel like moms and seniors need information each year. Like in Jan-Apr I have people who are needing to know why and how to book so I should repeat information each year. So I'm going to save my content idea notebook I make with this video. Thank you!

[@katie]

thanks Melissa! i feel like a lot of us have this - and it's always an interesting challenge to come up with new and creative ways to tackle the same topics!

[@melissayoung8681]

@@katie Yes, EXACTLY!! Thank you! I love how clear your videos are to follow!

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE THANKSSSS

[@harukakato2052]

Hi Katie! I always wanted Instagram for my health coaching business, but the process I learned from other content creator was draining for me that I postponed. I tried your method on notion calendar, and I really liked it! I planned two content for next week and I'm gonna film tomorrow! Thank you so much for your great tips.

[@daniqsaa]

Thank you! This is super clear and doable!

[@hippiekansasgirl1632]

I'm watching this again, because it was so good the first time 😊 I've been a member of Skillshare for about 6 months, and needed something new to watch - I've added Nathaniel Drew to My Classes - THANK YOU for the suggestion!

[@scarmcloving]

The tip of the TikTok thread with yourself is genius! i favorite a lot on the app and save so many to my camera roll, then when i go to create the content i find myself scrambled all over the place.

[@khushibhagat9018]

[@sadiescap]

YES to this as a series!!! 🔥🙏

[@TheChicagoRose]

I’m all for you making this a regular thing. Mostly how to you use the latest trends. Sometimes I’m like, am I actually a “creative” if I can’t bend this sound or caption to my niche. How do you brainstorm thru that?

[@Hippiemomsdiamondart7618]

Yes please do this kind of video more.

[@jaesuar]

Yes I would love to see this as a regular thing! please! LOL

[@ASMRKay_]

Me feeling like a fool for using different colored emojis to also separate things… it was the only thing I thought notion couldn’t do 😅

[@shylanight]

This is amazing information! Thank you so much for all the work you put into this! The creators' page you mentioned to follow up on IG trends is super helpful. Does TikTok have a similar page for the TikTok trends?

[@ennamulberry522]

I never post on KZbin videos but finding you has been a game changer. Thanks for helping me streamline my process!! #newforeverfan

[@annaorhalmi983]

I would love to see it on a monthly basis!!

[@maameefua.koomson]

PLEASEEEEEEE a whole video about Notion and your set up!! I’m literally obsessed I just found your account and notion is the app I needed, I downloaded it as soon as I saw how it’s not just a to do list but it supports extensive planning. Excited new subbie ❤️❤️❤️

[@maameefua.koomson]

Channel** 🙄 but I’m stalking your IG account too

[@pammercer1594]

Would love to see this monthly! BTW, when in the previous month do you plan for the upcoming month? Thanks!

[@AylaRose_LaAkea]

Loved this, yes it would be awesome to have this be regular. Also maybe a video (if you don’t already have it) on getting over your fear of filming yourself for KZbin, IG reels etc. also the fear of posting them lol. I’ve wanted to start my KZbin channel for 10 years at least and also be more interactive and share video of myself on Instagram, but I’ve been too afraid. This is going to be the year it happens though! 💪🏼

[@jejebenji]

I'd love to see it monthly. Thanks for sharing

[@SandraPants23]

Yes! Make this a monthly video :)

Be original‼️ that's it🙌🏾💥

[@kimberlyjefferson882]

Yes i would love more repeated sessions!

[@BeachBabeSoapery]

Love this. I have a hard time planning out my content. I feel like if I don't jump on trends when I see it and just wait to post, by the time I post it the trend is over. Like, I think trends expire pretty quickly. Maybe that's just me.

[@BeachBabeSoapery]

Also, me as a retailer, turning treads into a relevant Reel/Tiktok is tricky.

[@Susanyoung7000]

How often and how long do you spend finding ideas pls?

[@nazsalimi]

Hi Katie , Thanks for the great video . The link to the Notion Template doesn't work for me .

[@anastasiajahadi4874]

Katie you create the plan in notion - but do you schedule your posts in advance on another tool?

[@adrianaa4307]

Hey Katie, hope you are having an awesome day, thanks for all the valuable info in your video. I have been trying to get the template, but as soon as I log in with the temporary code, nothing shows up. Hope there is any way for me to get it?. Thanks for everything

[@AmrenNight]

Does anyone know where her glasses are from? They’re super cute!

[@veenitareadswrites]

How do you switch the calendar like that on notion? Like you changed into your instagram/tiktok calendar. How to do that? I have also just started using notion.

[@DanieleNasuti]

hi Katie, I have a question about filters. Since I noticed big pages using filters on stories and reels, do you think can be a good strategy to reach more people? I mean appearing on the filters page among all people who used that filters? And what filters should I use if I have few followers? (they have a posts number like hashtags..)

[@dholmes1956]

Question: When you are looking for news/trends what do you do if your Niche is not changing on a fast pace? I am a sleep consultant.

[@allaboutcricket291]

What camera are you using?

[@BakariSoul]

Thank you Katie! I'm wondering -- exactly how do you solicit and or gather feedback from your audience given that any post or reel only reaches a small percentage of followers?

[@katie]

I think it's just a matter of looking at your insights and your comment section! and then maybe reaching out to specific followers that you see engaging with your content and asking them what they'd like to see more of :)

[@BakariSoul]

@@katie Thank you!!! 🙏🏿

[@IleneMcKenna]

Is there an application like Notion that is capable on PC? Looks like its just on apple
