How To Create A Content Calendar For June

Tired of slaving away for hours each month to map out your content calendar?

I get it. Creating engaging content is a must if you want to stay upfront and visible to your audience, but the process can be exhausting and overwhelming (and it can make you feel like you have to reinvent the wheel every month!).

Cheer up, content creation doesn’t have to break you. I’ve swooped in to save the day by doing the time-consuming research and compiling this collection of organized content ideas for the month of June. 

Your job? Simply search through the following social media post ideas, highlight topics that will speak to your target audience, and tweak them to vibe with your brand. 

THE MONTH OF JUNE

Summer is HERE! For content creators, June is a month full of new and fun opportunities for engagement. While limitations on social gatherings and travel still exist, there are lots of options when it comes to sharing summer holidays, observances, and themes. Encourage your audience to celebrate at a safe distance or within their smaller family and friend groups!

GENERAL THEMES FOR JUNE

These monthly themes are perfect for including in your June content calendar. Use these ideas to brainstorm possible promotions, sales, giveaways, blog post series, and more:  

• Summertime and Sunshine
• Baseball
• Celebrating Fathers
• Swimming and Water Sports
• Fishing and Boating
• Diversity

MONTH-LONG OBSERVANCES FOR JUNE

Do any of these specific June observances resonate with your audience? 

Use these suggestions to unite your followers around a particular cause and to provide encouragement and motivation:

• Alzhimer’s and Brain Awareness Month — Share fundraising opportunities for this important cause and offer support and encouragement to your readers who are affected by it. 
• Great Outdoors Month — There’s never been a better time to encourage your readers to get outside! This year, focus on exploring the lesser-known (and less crowded) parks, trails, and wildlife refuges. 
• National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month — Tempt your audience to get their five servings a day with recipes featuring colorful and healthy fruits and veggies.
• National Iced Tea Month — Nothin’ says summer like a cold glass of iced tea. Share your favorite flavors and ask readers to share theirs for a fun, lighthearted way to connect. 
• National Rose Month — June is the month to stop and smell the roses. It’s a great time to encourage people to plant a rose bush or surprise their special someone with a bouquet. 
• National Safety Month — Create a series of posts that focus on safety and preventable accidents — from the workplace to the home to everywhere in between.
• National Smile Month — Encourage families to prioritize their dental health and say CHEESE all month long.
• Zoo and Aquarium Month — Outdoor zoos are a great place to encourage your audience to get out and experience nature while practicing social distancing.

 My advice to continually grow an audience? Stay engaged and connected. Keep listening to your audience and showing up for them by offering fun content while still being sensitive to the current situation. Let them know you’re in the boat with them and give them a sense of normalcy in the midst of uncertainty through your content and engagement.
