How I plan my CONTENT CALENDAR (+ free template!)

This is how I plan + create all of my content, and create a ~professional~ front page for The Bliss Bean. Create your own website by heading to www.squarespace.com/theblissbean to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code THEBLISSBEAN.
The Bliss Bean would fall apart if I didn't have an organized content calendar to manage my KZbin videos, Instagram posts, newsletter, book club, etc. This is how I use Trello to manage my social media content calendar for Instagram and KZbin, schedule everything weeks in advance, and make sure everything gets done so that I can actually bring my ideas to life!

[@SerenaShah]

The aesthetic and vibes and BACKGROUND of this video is just on point

[@king_layla]

I've been vibing with Trello for planning too! But when it comes to creating content, especially for social media, boost app social has been my secret sauce. It's like having an extra set of creative hands.

[@qualoprevee]

Bruh, same! Boost app social is clutch. Makes everything easier.

[@KatysStudio96]

Does anyone else just think HOW IS SHE DOING ALL OF THIS!?!?

[@v4u6hn]

Y E S ....... i just watch and get lost but im so happy she’s able to do this and make it work for herself haha

[@roadtoliberation7]

yes

[@DNdavidsonsnation]

Yeah just do what's work for you. I'm way to lazy and disorganized to make something like that works tbh but was still interesting to watch i guess lol

[@butterflymoon6368]

Yeh I couldn't do that. It's too much.

[@CherylBraxton]

yep!!!

[@juanmoliner6667]

Can we just appreciate the EDITING!! i'm going to download and make the most of this planner now!

[@UnJadedJade]

This was so interesting!! I love seeing other people’s creative flow. Gorgeous video as always Beatričė!! 💛

[@theeditaesthetic]

i love it when two relatively small KZbinrs support each other!! i love both of your content so keep it up :')

[@silvermom5513]

Thank God i followed the advise of my friend to request for the loan of $1 m to fund my ideas. Do not give up even when you have every reason to do so because that’s when the success wants to appear in front of you. A friend of mine became a millionaire through their funding. Award winning platform goes to them.

[@mestephbee]

I’ve been using Trello for storing yt content ideas but I never thought of having a complete content planning system there! Such a helpful video!

[@cunninglilcutie]

oh my goodness I cannot BELIEVE it, I just recently decided to try branching out into more aesthetic types of content on my channel, and this is literally a God-send, thank you so much Beatrice!

[@minicarbono]

I just can't believe how talented, grounded, organised, goal oriented and WISE you are at such a young age. you're going places, miss 💪🏻♥️keep up the soulful work!

[@RyanYeo]

As a content creator (starting with KZbin) just starting out, this is really interesting & useful for planning! Thanks Beatrice!

[@LeAnnDonoso]

OMG I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU. this is all the information i ever wanted and needed, you are a gem!

[@giovanapurcino9666]

So helpful and so aesthetic: this video is a masterpiece of art

[@odalisjam5924]

All of her videos!! 🌼

[@piperleigh7147]

This is exactly the video I needed right now

[@SaveOurselves]

As a small KZbinr myself, this method sounds so well rounded and effective. Thank you for all the tips!

[@jennycadwallader3701]

Thank you Beatrice for making this video, sharing your resource, and even your content calendar template. I am absolutely in LOVE with it! it's so structured, clean, well organized, and practical! thank you, thank you, thank you 🤗

[@darcymaemodica]

ugh love your editing and aesthetic so much! i literally use to use Trello in highschool for newspaper and completely forgot about it when starting my channel and now that I've seen you use it as a content calendar I've started using it too and it's helped so much!! I had been looking for a way to schedule things out and was doing it all on paper for a while but this is so much easier and a lot more organized! thank you so much for the tips❤️

[@heydebee]

your content is IMMACULATE

[@welm8412]

yepp

[@Buckwheater]

você por aqui bacana

[@oliviac3120]

your videos have made it so easy to stay productive while doing online school! thank you so much for all of the content you create :)

[@just_toko]

I've recently started using Trello but I'm still new at it. seeing your board was very inspirational and gave me q bit more direction on how I can make the most of my account. trying to organize the content planning for ALL my SM platforms has been giving me headaches coz I'm a visual person and I want to see it all in one place. Thank you!❤

[@nicoleives1442]

Thank you so much! This really helped me (who has SO many ideas, yet has trouble getting organized and concentrating). It is nice to have a place to store my thoughts on content creation and better yet to schedule when certain topics and posts will reach people.

[@FineSpice_]

Def took notes, I cant wait to be as creative as I know I can be

[@zechsoner]

Literally listening to this motivates me

[@itsanteeniya863]

this has been the most useful video in helping me understand my process and see areas i can improve in terms of my organization!! thank you so much!!

[@SophiaShinAhreum]

Super beautiful vid as always Beatrice, I definitely have to try this content planning on Notion! ✨

[@minimalistmarjaana]

this is super useful and i think i definitely need to start doing this. so far i’ve only focused on one project at a time to ensure i finally start posting on youtube. the visual aesthetic of your videos never disappoint btw!

[@dannystarship9649]

Bless you! 💖 I absolutely needed this!

[@stardustsarah]

I hope you keep thriving girl ily 💜

[@FireStarfashion]

[@LisaOnyimonyi]

Your room makeover is coming out nicely too. Yay

[@seoulfulstrength]

OMG YOU ARE MY LIFE SAVER! I run my own business and I have been hardcore struggling to find an efficient content calendar/project management system that I actually like and is user friendly. Just made my Trello account and I am using your template as a basis to customize it to my business. You just got a new subscriber :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@marinamartins6962]

Just what I was looking for!! Specially the trello solution!! Thank you so much!

[@vanessa9930]

I can’t get tired of saying how your work is beautiful 🤎

[@gr8britishbakeoff]

This is just awesome to know for new youtuber 😍 Thanks sweetheart x

[@DreamsBuiltIn]

Thank you! Not me pausing the video again and again till about halfway through to copy the tasks from each card until I realized the template your provided was one you to copy/paste directly from Trello. 🙃 And Trello seems to have unlimited powerups now 😍

[@niapia3408]

THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED 🥺I’ve been desperately trying to find a vid that would potentially help me navigate my scheduling 🙏🏼 THANK YOU QUEEN. ❤️

[@owlficially4771]

I was just telling myself I need to get more organized when planning my videos 😅 thank you! Definitely needed this

[@edreitan6786]

Underrated!!! So good!

[@camillelfnt_]

Great tips Beatrice !!! Love your content 👏❤

[@domoniquera]

Your analytical ability and organization is so satisfying and practical. Instant sub. Very helpful!

[@SorchaRattigan]

Thank you thank you thank you! This was SUPER helpful for me. I have ADHD and I love Trello but I havnt been using it in the best way. I have SO many ideas but I keep starting them from scratch, rather than repurposing across different platforms. My focus right now is creating my ebook (thank you canva!) and creating workflows on flodesk. Squarespace is what I will likely be using a little later this year so I will for sure use your code. New subscriber here, thank you so much you have given me hope I can actually create my ideas into reality. I have 5 art books full and was totally overwhelmed! 🧡🧡🧡

[@TiarraRhose]

Wow this was so super helpful, sending you lots of love!!!!

[@liccabaluyot690]

YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND SKILLFUL!! So inspiring!
