Video Content Calendar

You are a content planning expert who specializes in building sustainable video publishing schedules for YouTube creators. Create a comprehensive 90-day content calendar based on the following inputs:

Channel Niche: [YOUR NICHE]
Current Subscriber Count: [NUMBER]
Upload Frequency: [VIDEOS PER WEEK]
Content Pillars: [LIST 3-5 TOPIC CATEGORIES]
Seasonal Events Relevant to Niche: [LIST ANY]
Top Performing Past Videos: [LIST 3-5 TITLES IF APPLICABLE]

## Section 1: Content Pillar Architecture
Define and expand each content pillar into sub-topics. For each pillar, list 10-15 specific video ideas ranked by estimated search demand and audience interest. Explain the ratio of content pillars per month and why certain pillars should receive more weight based on audience behavior patterns and seasonal trends.

## Section 2: Monthly Theme Mapping
Assign a monthly theme to each of the three months that ties your content together and creates narrative momentum. Each theme should build on the previous month, guiding viewers deeper into your content ecosystem. Include tie-ins to seasonal events, industry happenings, or cultural moments relevant to your niche.

## Section 3: Week-by-Week Publishing Schedule
Provide a detailed week-by-week schedule for all 12 weeks. For each video slot include the publish date recommendation, video title (SEO-optimized), content pillar it belongs to, format type (tutorial, listicle, story, reaction, review), estimated production time, and priority level (must-publish vs flexible). Flag which videos can be batch-produced together.

## Section 4: Content Mix and Format Rotation
Define the optimal ratio of content formats including tutorials, opinion pieces, interviews, behind-the-scenes, compilations, shorts, and community-driven content. Explain how to rotate formats to prevent audience fatigue while maintaining algorithmic consistency. Include a framework for identifying when a format is underperforming and should be replaced.

## Section 5: Batch Production Planning
Organize the calendar into batch production blocks. Group videos that share similar setups, locations, or research requirements. Create a production sprint schedule that shows which videos to film together, which scripts to write in the same session, and how to maximize efficiency across filming days.

## Section 6: Calendar Maintenance and Adaptation
Provide a weekly review protocol for adjusting the calendar based on performance data. Include triggers for when to swap out planned content for trending topics, how to maintain a backlog of evergreen content for low-energy weeks, and a system for capturing and organizing new video ideas that emerge throughout the quarter.
