YouTube Content Calendar Builder

This skill builds a 90-day YouTube content calendar: topics mapped to your niche, upload dates and days-of-week, format mix (long-form, Shorts, live), and a deliberate balance of high-search-volume topics (long-tail SEO) with high-virality topics (curiosity gap). Every entry has a working title, thumbnail concept, and a one-line "why this now." Use it at the start of a quarter.

What you get

• 90 days of content mapped to dates
• Format mix (long-form, Shorts, live, collab)
• Search-vs-virality balance called out
• Working title and thumbnail concept per entry
• One-line "why this now" per entry
• Weekly review checkpoints to adjust

Customize your output

• Upload cadence: 1x/wk, 2x/wk, 3x/wk, Daily
• Long-form vs Shorts ratio: All long, Mostly long, Even, Mostly Shorts
• Search-vs-virality weighting: 80/20 search, 50/50, 80/20 viral
• Series-heavy: On, Off
• Collab count: 0, 2, 5, 10+

Example output

"Week 4: Mon long-form 'How I hit 10K subs with 12 videos' (search-heavy, 20K/mo volume). Wed Short 'One thumbnail mistake killing your CTR' (viral). Fri Shorts x2 clipped from Monday."

Best for
