5-Step guide to build you content calender

Scheduling plays a pivotal role in your content marketing efforts. You could set and achieve your goals by creating a content calendar for yourself.

Content Marketing Institute columnist Kim Moutsos has shared a five-step guide to creating a useful content calendar.

Moutsos says, “In Content Marketing Institute articles, you probably see “content calendar” and “editorial calendar” used interchangeably. Are they the same thing?
