How I created a content calendar using ChatGPT

I have used the following prompt structure.

• The main prompt remains unchanged.

• Adjust only the text below the prompt and after the colon.

Here is an example of the flow for the GPT-4 (Plus) version.

I introduced ChatGPT with my prompt.

ChatGPT asked me questions to better understand my requirements.

I provided my answers.

Once I submitted my answers, ChatGPT started generating a content calendar in table format.

The table was ready, so I asked ChatGPT to create a CSV file from the table.

I copied the code snippet content to Notepad and saved it as a CSV file.

Alternatively, any other tool can be used as long as the file extension ends with ".csv"

I imported it into Notion using the import button.

Here is the final result on Notion.
