From Mother's Day, Tung Blossom Season to Conan. Doyle’s birthday and the appropriate writing topics for May are all here
In the Second Content Hacker Lecture held at the end of last year, we introduced the concept of Content Calendar. Do you still remember it? When writing or running a fan page, do you use a content calendar?
Although content calendars are useful, some people are troubled by the lack of topics. For example, when Mayday comes, what will everyone think of? In addition to Mother’s Day on the second Sunday, do you think of any other topics that can be paired with writing?
In addition to Mayday (opens in a new tab) and Mayflower (opens in a new tab), do you know that there are other important seasons in May that you can make more use of when designing content marketing?
The following is the source of May’s selected content calendar topics compiled by the website “Content Hacker”. Welcome to refer to it!
