​Feeling swamped by the endless task of planning your business's organic content? Are you overwhelmed by the sheer volume of online marketing material you need to generate? I get it. Do you find yourself running in circles trying to organize your content strategy? It's time to switch to a Trello content calendar for managing your long-form content.

The Importance of a Content Calendar

Ever wonder why a content calendar is crucial?

Here's the thing: Constantly brainstorming new ideas can be downright tiring.

I won't even begin to mention how frustrating it can be searching for the last brilliant content idea, as you have no idea where you wrote it down.

A content calendar is your roadmap, clearly outlining what needs to be created and when, saving you from the dreaded desk-head-banging moments.

Today, we're diving into how to set up your content calendar in Trello.

What Makes Trello Stand Out?

Now, you might ask, “What's so special about Trello?” 

Why do you think this will work for me when so many others have not?

First off, its simplicity is a game-changer.

If you are seeking a straightforward and visually appealing planning tool, you will love Trello.

Centralize Your Content Ideas with Trello

Are your office surfaces buried under sticky notes? Would you burst into laughter if someone quizzed you on your content creation process?

That ends now. Trello is your ultimate idea storage solution, keeping everything organized in one spot. You'll know exactly where to look when it's time to plan. 

Forget the days of misplaced brilliant thoughts. With Trello, your next great idea goes straight into your idea bank. What is even better is creating an idea bank card for each of your content pillars.

And the best part? Trello’s mobile app means you can capture ideas on the go. Because let’s be real, you’re always on the go.

Gather All Your Resources in One Place

In your Trello Content Calendar, dedicate a card with all the links to the resources you rely on.

I understand how you can get off track if you must search for something. By having a resources card with your links.

This could include links to frequently used software for creating your pillar content. I don’t know about you, but for some reason, if I open a Google tab, I may end up somewhere that I shouldn’t be.

Key Feature in Trello Content Calendar

In other words, Trello isn’t just another tool; it transforms how you organize your content calendar. Its drag-and-drop interface makes it incredibly user-friendly, allowing you to visualize your entire content strategy at a glance.

With Trello, you can create boards for each of the different areas of your business and develop simple checklists to mark off the tasks as they are completed.

Create cards for individual tasks or ideas. It’s funny how something so simple can be so powerful, right?

Trello also offers customizable labels for easy categorization, due date reminders to keep you on track, and the ability to attach files directly to cards, ensuring all your resources are in one place.

Using Trello, you're equipping yourself with a tool that adapts to your workflow and simplifies content planning.

If busy is distracting you, this may be a great solution.
