It should be used by your communications and marketing teams, as well as the content creators and contributors who are responsible for publishing relevant and engaging content for your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tool can be customized to suit your association\u2019s needs. Whether you want to organize it monthly\/weekly\/daily, by content platform, or by who\u2019s writing it, you have complete free rein to set it up in the way that works best for you, your team, and your content.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why your association needs an editorial calendar<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An editorial calendar is an important planning tool that any association can make good use of. Not only will it help your publishing, communications and marketing departments work together cohesively, but it will also allow for enhanced collaboration between other departments as well, including events, education and membership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not convinced yet? An editorial calendar also:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps you to maintain an organized way to engage with your members consistently.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enables your entire team to work collaboratively and share ideas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifies opportunities to reach potential new members.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raises your association\u2019s profile as a \u201cthought leader\u201d and expert.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saves you and your team time by organizing all your editorial information in one place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimizes the chance of errors that can set your team back.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boosts your team\u2019s creativity and productivity.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What are the essential elements of an editorial calendar?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your editorial calendar can be designed to include everything your association creates and publishes: magazine articles, case studies and member spotlights, videos, educational content, event promotions, and social media posts, to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure the success of your editorial calendar and make something that your team <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">actually <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wants to use, you should strongly consider including some of the following elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Functional and aesthetic layout. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although your content calendar isn\u2019t all about appearances, it should feature a clean and user-friendly layout that makes it easy for any of your team to understand and make sense of.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Organization by topic and type of content. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep all your content organized properly and allow your team to find items that are relevant to them, it\u2019s good to have some sort of filing system in place. For example, color coding each item by topic and type of content is a simple yet effective organization system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Document upload or editing capabilities. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re able to, you can cut down on a lot of time if you create an editorial calendar where you can directly upload and edit documents.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Streamlined workflow process.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s no good just uploading all of your different items and not making it clear which are being written, which need edits and which are published. Having some sort of workflow process in place will allow your team to move each item through the publishing journey and give you oversight on how each piece of content is doing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Writer\/author allocation. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have many different writers working on content at any given time, it should be easy to see on your editorial calendar who\u2019s working on what. Not only does it make it easier for each writer to see what they need to prioritize, but it also makes it clear who to ask questions when they arise.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Deadlines for drafting, editing and publishing. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For each piece of content, you should include the ability to add deadlines to keep your team on track.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Backlog and future content ideas. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, you should leave a space on your editorial calendar for content ideas and backlog items. These are ideas that aren\u2019t going to turn into content soon but will provide a space for employees to note down their ideas and request content they think could be relevant.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>How to build your team\u2019s editorial calendar<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your editorial calendar will be something your entire staff uses, so it should be created with all of these people in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By bringing your teams into the process of building the editorial calendar, you\u2019re far more likely to create something that is useful and that your teams will want to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s our step-by-step guide on how your association can build an editorial calendar:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organize a brainstorming session where all relevant team members can help build the calendar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decide on what content you want to include in your editorial calendar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research a range of templates and platforms to figure out what could work for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carry out a content audit of your existing content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify the different stages of producing content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decide on a publishing schedule that\u2019s realistic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organize a content library that can work simultaneously with your new content calendar.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continually test your calendar and be open to making changes if necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating an editorial calendar is one way that you can optimize the operations of your association.
