How to create social media content planner in Notion
0:03
Hi guys, welcome back to another video. And in this video, I'm going to be telling you how you can create your very own social
0:09
media planner in Notion. So having said that, let's just jump into the video
0:13
So first step, go to Notion.so and just simply log in or create an account
0:19
Now, once you've logged into your Notion account, all you have to do is just simply set it up, everything and you are good to go
0:26
Once you're over here, come over here onto the left hand side, click on add a page or you can edit a existing page
0:33
But if you want to click on add a page, you can create a new page. We'll name this page right here
0:39
We'll call it social media content planner and then we'll just simply select empty
0:43
page, we'll click on the forward slash or more commands right here
0:47
As you can see, then over here, we'll just scroll down and find database inline
0:53
You can even search for it if you want. And we just simply click on it to add a table right here
1:00
Next, we'll name this table, we'll call it platforms and we'll create a new one as well
1:06
And we'll just call it content. Next step is to fill out this data
1:10
We're going to fill out this form right here. First, we'll fill out the content and over here
1:15
We'll add these three tables right here. We'll first go ahead and click on we'll
1:21
click over here and give it the name status or idea. And over here, we'll get a icon or we can even remove it
1:30
We'll remove the icon for now. And over here, we'll add tags instead of tags
1:35
We'll put status and this is how it looks like. It'll be named. Then we have status over here
1:42
Right. Actually, yeah. And then we'll create a new one, the select option and we'll call it type
1:50
And over here, we'll add options as well. We'll say what type of content it is
1:56
Is it a video or photo or short video? Is it a story you post, whatever it is
2:03
You know, it all depends on you. We can even add a carousel like so
2:07
We can give it different colors as well. And there we go. We have now a property set
2:13
There we go. Type. Now we need to edit the properties of the status over here
2:18
We'll add the status. Is it published or whatnot? Is it in process and all of that
2:24
So right here, we'll put the status right here in the to do section
2:28
It'll be idea in the in progress. We'll say planning and we'll call it red, actually pink
2:36
And we'll add another one and we'll say filming or editing, you know, editing
2:40
And this will be blue. Yeah, blue is good. We'll add another one
2:45
We'll go ahead and say filming. Filming will be yellow. And in the complete section, we'll edit done
2:53
Well, instead of done, it will be published or scheduled, right? And published will be brown or actually yellow
3:01
And we'll change the filming to orange and we'll also add scheduled
3:06
And I think that looks good. We'll just say good. We'll go back. Well, there we go
3:11
We have this. We'll move it right here. Now, if we click over here on these
3:15
different tasks, we can see we have these options right here. So we'll keep that next
3:21
We're going to go ahead and add a relationship between these two tables. So for that, we just simply click on plus icon over here at the platform section
3:30
We'll click over here and we just simply search for relations. Here we go. We click on relations and we're going to
3:36
select which is this table right here, we're going to select that table. And now we are going to click on show on content
3:44
There we go. Platform is selected. As you can see here, we're going to add the relationship
3:49
There we go. Pretty simple. After that, we are good to go. We can just simply close it up
3:54
And that's done. As you can see, it is now both linked. And let me just actually delete this since we don't need this right now
4:02
Now, what we're going to do is we're going to add progress bar, which is going to be a roll up bar
4:07
So we click on over here, the plus icon and we search for roll up
4:11
Here we go. Click on roll up and select relationship, select content and we'll just rename it to progress and right here
4:21
And then we simply click over here. Calculate, right. We'll just simply select
4:26
Also, make sure that you the property that you select is status
4:31
All right. There we go. The calculate and you come over here, percentage per group, right, and you select complete
4:39
There we go. Now, over here, you can use the bar. That bar looks pretty cool
4:45
And you can select the color as well and you can show numbers as well
4:49
And there we go. So we'll just close that up. Well, there we go
4:54
We'll actually move the progress bar at the end. Now what we're going to do is we're going to add some example data to see how
5:01
Now we're going to go ahead and add some example data to see how it works, and before that, I just need to add a few
5:08
more things like date and a few more other minor status options right here
5:14
And really depends on you if you want to add them. But yeah, we'll just add a date and we'll just say publish date or what publish date
5:22
Here we go. That looks nice. And we can add other stuff as well, like a media box files and media
5:29
You know, we'll just name it files and media. Yeah, that looks good
5:33
And I think we are good to go. Now we'll just add in our platform names such as a TikTok
5:41
There we go. Add YouTube. And we'll also add Instagram. There we go
5:47
And over here, we'll give the content names. We'll give content number one as an example, you know
5:54
and we'll go ahead and select right here, content number one. Right. Content number two and content number three
6:03
There you go. And over here, click on status. Right. We'll just let it idea and we'll add the type
6:11
Content number one is going to be short video, content number two is going to be video and content number three is going to
6:19
be carousel. There we go. We'll add the publish date as well
6:22
It's going to be 30th. There you go. And for this one, we'll go with three and immediately you can see we have a progress
6:31
bar right here and we can see how it looks like. Now, next step is to go ahead and customize your planner
6:39
So to do that, you just simply click on the three dots available at the top of this
6:46
table, you click on the table, you click on layouts and you can choose whichever one
6:51
you want, you could go with a board view, a timeline list or even a gallery
6:55
If you choose gallery, then you can go ahead and select the gallery
6:59
And then you just simply go ahead and select small. There you go
7:04
And you just simply you can select the size. You know, it depends on you
7:09
And for now, I'll just simply go ahead and click on card preview
7:14
I'll choose non right. We'll go back and we'll click on properties
7:18
And over here we can choose what type of property you want to show
7:22
So we'll just remove that. Right. We don't want to we can show names and we'll also choose progress bar
7:30
That way it'll look pretty cool. You know, give us this bar over here and over here we can go ahead
7:36
And yeah, I think that looks much better. As you can see, it looks really cool
7:40
Now we have a bar with all of the platforms that we can see. We can just simply have to add our ideas right here and the bars will fall
7:47
Now let's go ahead and change the look of this field right here
7:51
We'll go ahead and click on the three buttons and we'll click on layouts and for this one we'll choose calendar
7:57
All right. We'll choose calendar and we'll go back and we'll choose what type of properties do we want to show
8:04
Well, we want to show status and and I think that looks good
8:10
And if we close it up, we scroll down. We can see this is how it would look like
8:14
Really cool. We have these simple dots where we have the main content
8:20
And over here we click over here and we can choose what type of content we want
8:25
Also go with planning and we'll choose the for the content on filming, whatever
8:31
And yeah, next we'll create a page template for our platforms right here
8:38
So for that, we'll first click on the this little icon that you can see right here and click over here and copy the link
8:46
to the calendar and over here we'll click on new and we'll click on new template
8:51
And over here we'll call it platforms and we'll paste the link right here
8:58
and we'll just simply select mention page. There we go. Sorry, not mention page
9:04
We'll just simply select create link to view for database. And over here, this is how it's made to look like
9:10
Then we're going to click on the back button and we're going to click on layout and we're going to change the layout
9:15
You can change the table board or anything. We'll select board for now and we'll scroll down and we'll select group by type
9:23
But status, there we go. That looks good. We can even add color columns as well
9:28
Looks really nice. And we can choose what type of options we want to be seen
9:33
Let me just capitalize this so we have a full view right here
9:37
Looks really cool. And then we want to go back into properties and we want to be shown what type
9:43
of properties you want. We'll just select all of them. There you go
9:47
Or you can select whichever options you want. Looks really cool, right
9:51
Now, what we need to do next is we'll click on content and we'll click on hide database title
9:58
Right. We'll click on over here and we'll rename it to status
10:03
There we go. Looks really cool. Now we'll click on filters and we'll click
10:08
on platforms and we'll just simply select our platform. Nice. Now we just simply add the link right here again
10:17
create a new page and we'll keep this one with the calendar view
10:22
Right. We'll hide the database title. Right. Keep that. And we'll click on filters, click on platforms and we link it to platforms
10:32
And there we go. You can also skip this step if you want to
10:36
If you don't want to create this page, like you can skip that if you want to
10:41
You can keep that as it is. But as you can see, for now, I have this one right here
10:45
As you can see, you click on platforms and you can see all of that. It looks much more cleaner, in my opinion
10:52
You know, you have all of your steps right here. You can go ahead and create them
10:56
In my opinion, it looks much more, you know, cleaner. Then you just simply click over here
11:03
click on the edit sign, right, and click on the icons and just
11:07
simply paste the link that you have of your icon and it should appear right here
11:13
Whoops. I think it's gone like so. Now we have that icon, tick tock icon, same with YouTube as well
11:19
You can just simply search for, you know, YouTube icon and it'll pop up like so
11:24
So we have our YouTube icon. You can select anyone you want. And so on here, if you want to use the color ones, this is a tip
11:30
Just simply drag the image to see if it is a PNG. Then just simply right click, copy the image address, go back
11:39
click on the name, select the icon, custom, paste the link and click on submit
11:44
And the icon should appear. There you go. So looks pretty cool
11:48
That's how you do it. Then you can add the Instagram logo and other platforms if you want to as well
11:53
So that is how you do it. That is how you create a social media content planner on Notion
11:58
