Build a 90-day content calendar with topics, upload dates, formats, and a searchability/virality mix.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
A 90-day content plan is a good idea to keep yourself organized and consistent. You'll want to decide how often you're posting — maybe once a week, twice a week, or something else depending on your schedule. Mix of long-form videos and Shorts could work well. Think about topics that your audience cares about — productivity, time management, goal-setting, habit-building, that kind of thing. Some videos should target search (people looking for how-to content) and some should be built to go viral (surprising or entertaining angles). You might want to plan for at least one collaboration. Consistency matters, so pick a schedule you can stick to. Thumbnails and titles are important for getting clicks. I'd suggest planning out topics and upload dates so you stay on track.
90-DAY CONTENT CALENDAR: PRODUCTIVITY CHANNEL WEEK 1-4 (MONTH 1) Wed, Jan 8 — Long-form: "The 90-minute productivity block" (Search: 8.2K/mo avg volume; Why now: back-to-school productivity season) Fri, Jan 10 — Short: "Mistake that kills focus" (Viral angle; curiosity gap) Mon, Jan 13 — Long-form: "I tracked my 10 best days. Here's what I found" (Personal narrative + searchable framework) Fri, Jan 17 — Short x2 (clipped from Mon video, different hooks) Wed, Jan 22 — Long-form: "Deep work setup tour" (Searchable; evergreen) WEEK 5-8 (MONTH 2) Mon, Jan 27 — Collab: Interview with productivity author (1.2M followers) Wed, Jan 29 — Long-form: "Why your to-do list fails" (Search: 3.1K/mo) Fri, Jan 31 — Short: "The one tool I quit" (Viral; controversial angle) Mon, Feb 3 — Long-form: "Building a bias toward action" (Personal framework; searchable) WEEK 9-12 (MONTH 3) Wed, Feb 12 — Long-form: "Weekly review system that works" (Searchable; proven format) Fri, Feb 14 — Short: "Productivity myth debunked" (Viral) Mon, Feb 17 — Live stream: Q&A + channel updates (Engagement) FORMAT MIX: 67% Long-form, 33% Shorts SEARCH vs VIRAL: 55/45 split (sustainable growth over viral chasing) COLLABS: 1 confirmed (27% higher click-through) WEEKLY CHECKPOINTS Review Mon video performance; adjust Fri topic if needed (test-and-adjust loop).

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).
