#1: HubSpot\u2019s Excel Content Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"hubspot\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
First up on our list is Hubspot\u2019s free downloadable template<\/a>. This content calendar can be opened up in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and used to draft up social media posts for a given period, get a solid overview of your content strategy, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best part? The Microsoft Excel integration in this template means that you can customize the tabs in any way you see fit so that it best reflects the metrics you\u2019re trying to measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#2: Trello<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"trello\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
While technically not a template per se, Trello<\/a> is a content organization platform that allows you to customize tabs along the top and organize your content using an easy and intuitive drag and drop method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3: Asana\u2019s Social Media Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"asana\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
You do have to create an Asana account to use their social media calendar tool<\/a>, but it\u2019s well worth the few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our favorite thing about Asana is the simple and minimalistic design of the calendar itself and the tag system and layout that helps you understand exactly what\u2019s going on and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4: Jotform Social Media Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"jotform\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This calendar template<\/a> is perfect for those social media managers who love to plan with detail. With Jotform, every post can be assigned a team member, posting date, types of content, social media channel, and needed media attachments. This way, you can have everything you need for a social media post with just one click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5: Firefly Content Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"firefly\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The Firefly Content Calendar<\/a> uses a Google Sheets integration so you can easily upload it and share it with your team. Not only does it include a tab for every month of the year, but it also outlines holidays and social media posting hotspots you won\u2019t want to miss. There\u2019s also plenty of room to include notations so you can keep your plans well-organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#6: The Hallam Social Media Content Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"hallam\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This downloadable content calendar<\/a> isn\u2019t necessarily one of the flashier designs, but its utility makes up for its lack of style. It includes an easy-to-understand layout, as well as holiday hashtags and a special Twitter character counter so you never go over your limit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#7: Coschedule\u2019s Content Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"Coschedule\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In general, Coschedule posts a free content calendar template<\/a> every year around December to reflect the following year\u2019s special holiday dates, trending tags, and everything else you might need for a year\u2019s worth of planning. And did we mention it includes color-coding!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#8: ClickMinded\u2019s \u201cPerfect\u201d Content Calendar Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"ClickMinded\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
While perhaps not perfect, we have no complaints about ClickMinded\u2019s content calendar<\/a> template. The entire thing is centered around Microsoft Excel, so it\u2019s very customizable if need be. In addition to that, it also keeps to a very simple design that doesn\u2019t get overcrowded when you fill it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in all, it is a very good template that, while perhaps not the most detailed, won\u2019t ever become a burden to use. If you like the simple things in life, this is probably the best calendar for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Pssst! Need help coming up with your social media post ideas? Check out our blog for <\/em>5 proven techniques guaranteed to help<\/em><\/a>!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#9: ContentCal\u2019s Social Media Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n $\"ContentCal\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This calendar<\/a> takes social media planning a step further by helping you assess your goals and challenges for the month so you can address them head-on. Not only that, but this calendar also helps you stay on track by asking you questions about what you\u2019d like to do and why you\u2019re doing it. Then, it sends periodic updates to let you know how you\u2019re progressing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#10: GoogleSheetsGeeks Editorial Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"Google$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This is the most all-inclusive calendar template<\/a> on our list. It includes a tab for just about everything a social media marketer could need, with the ability to easily hide everything you find yourself not using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, it takes accountability as a high priority and includes plenty of sections where you or your team can post status updates, ideas, and plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#11: Iconosquare Content Calendar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"Iconosquare$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The Iconosquare content calendar<\/a> is both downloadable and able to be hooked up to your Google calendar, allowing you to simultaneously use all the features of the calendar itself, as well as those of Google\u2019s. In addition to that, it also provides a whopping 250 events over the course of the year to let you know when you need to plan special posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#12 Coda.io Social Media Calendar Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"Coda\"$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
With this content calendar<\/a>, you do have to use the Coda website. However, it is a wonderful tool with many useful integrations for the everyday social media manager. For example, you can categorize your posts by what stage they are in, where they\u2019re going, or even by the specific marketing strategy behind them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#13: Evinex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With other calendars, we were able to point out at least one or two things we would change to make them better, but with GoogleSheetsGeeks\u2019 calendar, we loved using it as is! Not to mention, the ability to easily hide all of those unused tabs was absolutely to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
