30-Day Viral Content Calendar: Plan, Generate, and Schedule in 90 Minutes with Viralfy

Inconsistent posting kills momentum. Creative teams lose hours to ideation, approvals, and last‑minute edits, while algorithms reward cadence, clarity, and watch time. The opportunity: adopt a repeatable system that compresses planning, creation, and publishing into a single 90‑minute sprint—so you can execute a 30‑day calendar without sacrificing quality.

This guide shows how to build a 30‑day viral content calendar using Viralfy. You will plan with data, generate on‑brand assets with AI, and automate social media post scheduling—anchored by persona-based marketing, rigorous competitor analysis social media, and proven viral hook formulas.

Key outcomes:

A reusable content calendar template tailored to your brand
Platform‑specific posts (captions, carousels, TikTok video scripts, and optimized YouTube titles)
An automated scheduling queue and weekly optimization loop

Industry benchmarks consistently show that accounts posting 4–7 times weekly often achieve 20–30% higher reach than sporadic posters. Titles and hooks drive outsized impact: creators report 20–40% CTR swings from better headlines and first‑three‑seconds hooks. Your goal: operationalize these levers at scale.

The 90-Minute Framework

Allocate your 90 minutes as follows:

Plan (30 minutes)

Clarify goals, audience personas, and content pillars.
Run a light competitor and profile audit.

Generate (40 minutes)

Use Viralfy AI to turn briefs into post drafts.
Apply viral hook formulas, tiktok video scripts, and youtube title optimization.

Schedule (20 minutes)

Finalize copy, assets, and UTM links.
Queue posts with social media post scheduling.

Step 1 — Plan (30 Minutes)

Define Goals and Personas (persona-based marketing)

Set one primary objective for the next 30 days: reach, leads, product sign‑ups, or community growth. Then choose 3–5 content pillars aligned with your funnel (e.g., Education, Social Proof, Product, Community, Thought Leadership).

Build or refine personas using Viralfy’s AI audience profiling:

Role, pains, desired outcomes, channels
Trigger moments: events that spark demand or interest
Content preferences: format (short‑form video, carousels), tone, complexity

Output: a one‑page persona brief to inform your social media content strategy.

Quick Competitor Analysis (10 minutes)

Use Viralfy’s competitor analysis social media workflow to scan 3–5 peers:

Posting frequency, average engagement rate (ER), top formats
Hook styles (questions, contrarian takes, stats), call‑to‑action usage
Content gaps and recurring audience questions

Document 5 opportunities your brand can own—e.g., “No one is summarizing weekly product updates as 30‑second reels.”

Fast Instagram Profile Audit (5 minutes)

Run a lightweight instagram profile audit checklist:

Bio: clear value proposition + keyword; link to a mobile‑friendly landing page
Highlights: consolidate to 5–7 evergreen stories (Tutorials, FAQs, Reviews)
Grid: first nine posts demonstrate pillars and recency
CTAs: “Save this,” “Comment ‘Guide’ for the checklist,” “DM for pricing”

If Viralfy flags low‑performing visual style or inconsistent CTAs, standardize templates before generating new posts.

Step 2 — Generate (40 Minutes)

Spin Up a Content Calendar Template

In Viralfy, open the content calendar template and set:

Platforms: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn
Cadence: 5 posts/week for 4 weeks (20 posts), plus 10 story/reel remixes
Pillar distribution: Education (40%), Proof (20%), Product (25%), Community (15%)

The template pre‑fills slots with recommended formats and hooks per persona.

Craft Hooks with Viral Formulas

Hooks determine whether your audience keeps watching. Use these viral hook formulas:

Number + Outcome + Time: “Double your demo bookings in 7 days—here’s how.”
Pattern interrupt: “Everyone says ‘post daily.’ Here’s why I stopped—and grew faster.”
Data tease: “We analyzed 312 posts. These 3 angles outperformed by 28%.”
Mistake + Fix: “Stop writing features-first captions. Lead with outcomes instead.”
Question + Contrarian POV: “Longer captions kill reach—true or false?”

Viralfy’s AI can generate 10 hook variants per idea and score them for click/retention likelihood using historical performance tags.

Generate TikTok Video Scripts

For each idea, prompt Viralfy to produce tiktok video scripts with:

3‑second cold open (hook)
3 talking points (max 12 seconds each)
Cutaway B‑roll suggestions and on‑screen text
Closing CTA and comment bait

Example script skeleton:

Hook: “I planned a month of posts in 90 minutes—watch me do it.”
Point 1: Introduce the content calendar template (show screen recording)
Point 2: Hook testing with A/B captions
Point 3: Scheduling + analytics check
CTA: “Comment ‘CAL’ for the template link.”

Optimize YouTube Titles and Descriptions

Apply youtube title optimization rules:

Front‑load outcome or curiosity: “30‑Day Viral Calendar in 90 Minutes (Full Build)”
Add angle or niche: “B2B SaaS Edition”
Keep 55–60 characters where possible; include 1–2 keywords naturally
Description: 2‑3 keyword‑rich sentences + timestamps + CTA + UTM link

Viralfy can A/B test titles and thumbnails on a subset of Shorts to benchmark CTR.

Draft Captions and Creative Briefs

Instagram carousel: 7–9 slides, one idea per slide, bold first line, save‑worthy bullets
LinkedIn post: 150–250 words, skimmable lines, 1 stat, 1 question
Reels/Shorts: 100–150 character captions with a clear next step

Use AI style locks in Viralfy to enforce voice, compliance phrases, and reading level. This ensures your ai social media content aligns with brand tone while remaining platform‑native.

Step 3 — Schedule (20 Minutes)

Choose Optimal Times and Frequency

Set your weekly lineup:

Instagram: 3 reels + 1 carousel + 1 story batch
TikTok: 4–5 short videos (mix of education and POV)
YouTube Shorts: 3–4 repurposed clips, unique titles per platform
LinkedIn: 2–3 thought leadership posts

Viralfy suggests posting windows based on past engagement. Many accounts see stronger reach by clustering posts Tue–Thu and a light weekend slot—validate with your data.

Automate Social Media Post Scheduling

In Viralfy, bulk‑approve assets and queue them:

Auto‑formatting for aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9)
First comment for hashtags (optional)
UTM tags on links (Campaign: social‑30day; Medium: organic)
Role‑based approval workflow

Set up reminders for comments in the first 60 minutes after posting to lift early engagement, which can boost distribution.

Example 30-Day Plan (Use Cases and Templates)

Below is a practical slate for a B2B SaaS persona. Adapt the structure to ecommerce, creators, or local services.

Week 1 (Foundation)

Mon: Instagram carousel — “Audit your profile in 5 steps” (from instagram profile audit checklist)
Tue: TikTok — “3 hooks that 2x watch time” (apply viral hook formulas)
Wed: LinkedIn — “Competitor content teardown: what we learned” (competitor analysis social media)
Thu: YouTube Short — “Our 90‑minute calendar build (time‑lapse)”
Fri: Instagram reel — “From idea to schedule in Viralfy”

Week 2 (Education + Proof)

Mon: TikTok — “How to write outcome‑first captions”
Tue: LinkedIn — “Case study: 30 days, 21% lift in reach” (show framework + metric targets)
Wed: Instagram carousel — “Content pillars for this quarter”
Thu: YouTube Short — “Title A/B test: which won?” (youtube title optimization)
Fri: Stories — Poll + Q&A for audience research

Week 3 (Product + Community)

Mon: Instagram reel — “Behind the scenes: our content calendar template”
Tue: TikTok — “Hook writing in 60 seconds” (tiktok video scripts with on‑screen prompts)
Wed: LinkedIn — “Thoughts: Posting daily is not a strategy”
Thu: YouTube Short — “Turn one post into four formats”
Fri: Instagram carousel — “5 CTAs that earn saves & comments”

Week 4 (Optimization + Wrap)

Mon: TikTok — “We changed 1 thing and boosted retention”
Tue: LinkedIn — “What we’d do differently next month”
Wed: Instagram reel — “Scheduling tips that prevent failed launches” (social media post scheduling)
Thu: YouTube Short — “Our top 3 hooks from 30 days”
Fri: Roundup post — “Best performing posts + why”

Repurposing flow:

Turn LinkedIn posts into carousels
Extract Shorts from longer explainers
Bundle 3 reels into a YouTube compilation with fresh title testing

Practical Tips and Guardrails

Start with one primary KPI per platform: IG saves, TikTok 3‑second retention, YouTube CTR. Avoid splitting attention across five metrics.
Aim for 30–50% of posts to be evergreen frameworks or checklists—assets that consistently earn saves and shares.
Use “comment triggers” to qualify demand: ask users to comment a keyword to receive a guide via DM.
Maintain a testing cadence: 2 hook tests/week, 1 title test/week. Even small wins compound.
Approximately 70–80% of performance variance comes from the first 3–5 seconds (hook + visual) and the title/thumbnail combination—allocate creative energy accordingly.

Measurement and Iteration (15-Minute Weekly Review)

Set a recurring Friday review in Viralfy:

Inputs: reach, ER, 3‑second holds (TikTok), average view duration, CTR (YouTube), saves/comments (IG)
Identify top 3 posts and codify why they worked (topic, hook type, angle, CTA)
Clone winners, change only one variable (hook, visual, or CTA) to validate causal impact

Decision rules:

If CTR < 3% on YouTube Shorts for 3 posts, rework titles with a benefit + specificity angle
If IG reels watch time is weak, test faster first cut and on‑screen headline
If TikTok completion rate dips, shorten scripts to 18–25 seconds and add a mid‑video pattern interrupt
