How do you categorize content?
Categorizing your content means you need to know the type of posts you’re sharing. For example, if you create a How-to video, that would fall under the value content category.
To help you categorize content, use the list below. It will assist you to mix up your posts so your audience won’t get bored. Also, you will be able to create a calendar faster.
Different content categories:

- Lifestyle content (sharing your thoughts, life events, etc.)

What is a Social Media content calendar?
A Social Media content calendar is a calendar with post ideas. Usually, there is one idea per day, but you can make more if you prefer. You can plan a weekly, monthly, or yearly content calendar.
Why is a content calendar important?
Having a content calendar is vital for your business to stay organized, prepared, and consistent. Posting every single day on Social Media platforms is essential for your success.
Your audience has to see your content every day to remember who you are. The more relatable content is to your audience’s struggles and goals, the better it will be for your business and brand.
