If you’re a small business owner like me, I’m willing to bet that you frequently feel like you’re juggling a million tasks at once. In this post, I’ll be taking a look at how artificial intelligence can potentially revolutionize the social media game. Imagine having an AI-powered assistant that effortlessly generates content ideas, specifically designed for your business.
Can AI really save time, boost engagement, and achieve remarkable results? Well, let’s see how it does with creating a 30-day Content Calendar for my wood flower floristry business on both Instagram and Facebook.
My Original Prompt for ChatGPT
I saw someone using this prompt in a TikTok and wanted to give it a try. I made very minor tweaks to the prompt.
“I need to create a social media content calendar for the next 30 days. I post on Instagram and Facebook. My business sells wood flowers for home decor and weddings. I will post 3 times a week on both platforms. I want to strike a balance of posts where some are engaging and funny and others help sell my products. You will need to help me with this, as well as provide the full content calendar for both platforms.
Firstly, you will ask me questions about my business and my target audience until you have enough information. Then, you will provide me with the calendar in two tables – one for Instagram and one for Facebook. You will provide me with text captions in one column, and a suggested image in another.”
The Questions ChatGPT Asked
- What is the name of your business?
- Could you provide a brief description of the wood flowers you sell? What makes them unique or special?
- Who is your target audience? Are they predominantly individuals looking for home decor or couples planning weddings?
- What is the tone or personality of your brand? Is it more playful, elegant, rustic, or something else?
- Do you have any specific promotional campaigns or offers coming up during this 30-day period that we should incorporate into the content calendar?
- Are there any specific holidays or events that are relevant to your business within the next 30 days?
- Do you have any preferred hashtags or themes you would like to incorporate into your social media posts?
- Are there any other important details or preferences you would like to share?
Answered Questions & Content Calendars
I replied with pretty short answers for each question – just a single sentence for each. Using my replies, ChatGPT created two content calendars for me, which I have included below.

Requesting Changes
ChatGPT had no problem accommodating the changes I requested. After getting the first two content calendars, I asked it to expand each caption to be about twice as long and to update the dates for posting every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Here are the content calendars with my requests:

(I’m not sure why some of the calendars end early – I guess that’s just a quirk or glitch I would have to go back and ask it to expand upon.)
