3. Could you explain your working flow while developing a content calendar?
Answer: I start by designing common categories or headers for the content. I then categorize them in weekly or monthly themes, and make sure there is variety, whether it is an informative blog post, infographic or video. For content that is likely to gain maximum traffic during specific hours, I organize the content to be posted at such moments and I use Trello or Asana to plan the content.
