There are plenty of special days in October (not counting festivals). All you have to do is pick the days that speak to you and your niche and then convert them into content.

• If coffee is your #thng and Nescafe and Coffeeza are your constant companions, International Coffee Day (again on 1st) is your day.
• If you’re always posting on the usual holidays, then don’t skip Gandhi Jayanti (2nd) and Dussehra (5th).
• If humour and comedy are your thng, then we suggest posting a meme on World Postal Day (9th October) on snail mail going digital.
• If you love publishing series (like us), pick weekly themes from the content calendar, like World Wildlife Week (2nd to 8th October).

As ever, these are just some content ideas to use with our October 2022 content calendar. You can pick and choose whatever rocks your boat and gets more engagement.

Cheat Sheet For October Content Calendar

How to use the October 2022 content calendar for social media posts?

Legend has it that mistakes have a mysterious way of creeping up. You can check, double-check, and triple-check, but someone, somewhere on the internet, will tell you where you went wrong.

So, to all influencers, creators, and anyone else who uses our October 2022 content calendar for their social media posts, here are 4 #thngs to remember:

• We’re a small but mighty human team. While we did check the dates of special days in October, we suggest double-checking. Some holidays, like Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (31st Oct) are limited to India.
• Always, always, always pick days from the October content calendar that resonate with your followers. If you’re a finfluencer (finance influencer), World Thrift Day is a great time to talk about financial security.

(Psst: while the world celebrates it on the 31st of October, India observes it on the 30th because the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi passed away on the 31st.)

• The October content calendar is not exhaustive. If you’re reading this from beyond our borders, feel free to research special days in October for your country.

Twitter has a great resource for a content calendar. You can choose the month, year and country to discover special days and get ideas for social media posts.
