Imagine opening your phone and seeing 30 days of ready-to-post content — captions written, hashtags researched, visuals created, and scheduled — without spending a single weekend batching.
That’s exactly what happened to me last month.
I run a 7-figure niche blog and two e-commerce brands. Before AI? I was spending 18–22 hours every month just planning Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
After AI? 12–15 minutes. Literally.
Today I’m spilling the complete playbook I personally use (and teach my private clients who pay $3k–$5k) so you can copy-paste it starting today.
Let’s dive in AI social media Calendar
Why 99% of Creators Still Plan Manually (And Lose)
Most people open Canva → stare at a blank calendar → open ChatGPT → ask “give me 30 post ideas” → get generic garbage → give up.
Result? Inconsistent posting → algorithm death → zero growth.
AI isn’t magic. It’s a system.
And the system I’m about to show you works for:
- Solopreneurs
- Agencies
- E-commerce brands
- Personal brands
- Even corporate accounts
Tested across 9 niches in USA & Canada in 2025.

Step 2: The 3-Prompt “Calendar Killer” System (Copy-Paste)
Open Claude or ChatGPT and paste these 3 prompts one after another.
Prompt 1 – Content Pillars & Topics
text
You are a world-class social media strategist for [YOUR NICHE].
My brand voice: [example: witty, empathetic, bold, minimalist].
Target audience: [age, pain points, dreams].
Give me 5 evergreen content pillars and 15 trending topic ideas for December 2025 – January 2026 that will work on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X.
Format: numbered list + platform recommendation + why it will perform.
Prompt 2 – Full 30-Day AI Social Media Calendar
text
Using the pillars and topics above, create a complete 30-day social media calendar starting December 1, 2025.
Include for each day:
– Date
– Platform
– Content type (reel, carousel, static, story, thread)
– Caption (250–400 characters with hook + CTA)
– 8–12 researched hashtags
– Visual description (for Midjourney)
Make it 100% ready to post. Alternate high-engagement formats. Include 2–3 promotional posts linking to my site.
Prompt 3 – Generate All Visuals in One Go
Copy the visual descriptions from Prompt 2 and paste into Midjourney or Leonardo AI with this prefix:
text
/imagine prompt: ultra-realistic, cinematic lighting, 9:16 ratio for reels, minimalist aesthetic –ar 9:16 –v 6
Takes 4–6 minutes total.
Real Example That Got 1.2M Views in 72 Hours
One of my students (fitness niche) used this exact system.
Day 7 post (AI-generated):
Hook: “I lost 37 lbs eating pizza every Friday. Here’s how…”
Carousel → 8 slides → 412K reach → $4,800 in coaching inquiries.
She spent 11 minutes planning the entire month.
