MYM content calendar: plan 30 days without improvising

A useful calendar reserves production time and identifies who can access each piece. Here is a complete month with room for review and rest.

Dylan M.

A MYM calendar should organize what you create, what you publish and what you sell. A list of thirty ideas is not enough when files are unfinished or nobody knows which media the subscription includes.

The example month

Four themes, four public previews, nine subscriber posts and two paid supplements. Other days are for production, checking and rest. This is an adaptable working example, not a posting schedule required by MYM.

Set the schedule and give each piece a role

Start with the subscription promise. If you offer two subscriber posts a week, put them in before adding paid offers. A subscriber should receive what they bought even if they never purchase a supplement.

Every piece needs a role: introduce the account, deliver the subscription or offer an additional purchase. On MYM, public profile posts can be viewed without a subscription, while blurred profile content is reserved for subscribers. Keep that distinction visible in your working sheet.

PPV days in the table are commercial opportunities, not instructions to send the same offer to everyone. If the content is irrelevant to a fan or they already bought it, adapt the action. A calendar does not replace the context of the conversation.

Prepare four themes and identifiable files

In this example, A, B, C and D are four visual themes, such as studio, retro styling, natural light and outdoors. Replace them with your own. Have A ready before the month begins; the session on day 4 supplies B and C.

Give each file a working label: A-PUBLIC for the preview, A-SUB for the included set and A-EXTRA for a distinct supplement. These are personal organization labels, not MYM settings. You still need to check actual access separately in the platform.

  • Ready file: final media, reviewed and correctly exported.
  • Destination: a clear choice between public, subscriber and additional purchase.
  • Description: accurate text, with the price stated for a paid offer.
  • Overlap: check that the supplement is not simply the same media already included.
  • Owner: someone knows who approves and who publishes.

Keep a small reserve of content that is not tied to a date. An undated set is easier to substitute than an announcement about an event that has already passed. To develop the library, use the guide to organizing PPV sets and variations.

Your 30-day MYM calendar

Copy the plan into your working tool, then replace A through D with your themes. Preparation days are as important as publication days. They keep you from choosing a file and inventing its price a few minutes before sending it.

Check the file and access when publishing

Before each release, check four things: media, audience, description and any price. Two similar files may have different destinations. A clearer caption does not fix an access error, and a filename alone does not establish who can view the content.

Choose a suitable image when making a public discovery preview. The MYM profile visibility guide explains that selection. For scheduling mechanics, see how to organize scheduled MYM posts. This calendar defines the content plan rather than the buttons to press.

After publishing, record the actual status: planned, ready, published or postponed. Avoid marking an item complete when only the caption is written. If several people work on the account, these simple labels help prevent the same media from being released twice.

Keep a simple plan for disrupted days

If a shoot gets cancelled, use reserve content first. If the reserve does not meet the promise, explain the change and give a realistic date. Do not sell an unfinished supplement just to keep a calendar cell filled.

A busy week may also justify removing a public preview or moving an offer you have not announced. Protect the content already promised to subscribers first. Keep rest in the schedule: if every free day becomes a catch-up day, the base workload is too high.

Record why a release moved. A one-off delay needs a replacement; repeated delays on the same format suggest it costs more effort than you planned. Reduce its frequency or simplify production before promising another month of the same workload.

Make three decisions for the next month

At month end, review which pieces prompted useful questions, which were difficult to produce and whether you delivered the promised offer. Compare working time with the net revenue available, without automatically attributing every subscription to the most recent post.

Then choose one format to keep, one task to simplify and one experiment for the next month. You do not need thirty completely new ideas. Revisit a theme people enjoyed with a meaningful variation, clearly explaining what is new and what comes from the archive.

Carry the unfinished inventory into the next planning session before scheduling another shoot. A calendar works best when it reflects available files and actual capacity. Treat the previous month as a record you can learn from, not a checklist that must look perfect.

Connect the content plan to conversations

If you use Unly, prepare media and descriptions before making them available in your workflow. Conversations should offer content that exists and respect what the subscription already includes. Prepare my Unly account.
