Building a Monthly Content Calendar for Forum Growth

[Admin]

A simple calendar can keep a community active. Do you plan prompts, events, featured threads, or themed weeks? How far ahead do you schedule? What content ideas consistently attract replies?

Analyze your forum’s active topics, member interests, and seasonal trends. Plan weekly discussion themes, Q&A sessions, polls, or challenges. Include content types like guides, curated posts, or highlights from popular threads. Schedule reminders, track engagement, and adjust each month based on participation to keep the calendar dynamic and relevant.

You can start by mapping key topics, events, and trends relevant to your forum. Then, schedule posts, discussions, and campaigns evenly across the month, mixing evergreen content with timely updates. Consistency helps engagement, while tracking performance lets you refine the calendar over time.

Before the beginning of every month you can make a plan that will last you till the end of the month. You have to be consistent about it though or else it will not work out.
