[First Half of 2024] Don't Miss the Best Timing to Publish Articles! A Creative Calendar for Creators

We have created a creative calendar for the first half of 2024 for creators who say, "I want to post more on note next year" or "I have themes I want to write about, but I can't seem to finish them!"

This calendar helps you understand which themes are likely to be read and when, serving as a reference when you are unsure about when to publish an article or when deciding on article content. We hope you find it useful for your creative activities next year.

What is a Creative Calendar?

We have extracted and summarized seasonal and trending topics based on popular articles, hashtags, and themes with high search traffic from the web over the past year.

We would be very happy if you could save it to your computer or smartphone, or print it out and post it in a place where you can easily see it.

How to Use the Creative Calendar by Concern

We created this creative calendar with the desire to solve these common creator concerns!

I have a theme I want to write about, but I can't seem to finish it.
For example, if it's an article about room decor, you could decide to publish it during the moving and new life season of March to April! If you know the time when the need for an article is high from the calendar, you can work backward from there to decide on the publication date.

I want to write something, but I can't think of any ideas.
Please try using the "Recommended Article Theme Ideas" for that month as a reference.

I want to make better use of the articles I have published so far.
On note, even articles published years ago have a chance to be read. If there is a timing when interest in your past articles might increase, such as "a movie I wrote a review for has been nominated for an Academy Award," it is recommended to share it on social media again or introduce the article link using the note 'tsubuyaki' (tweet) feature.

I want to be read more, if possible.
Let's use the "Themes and Keywords Likely to be Read" as a reference. If you want people to find your article through web searches, this article can also provide some hints.

2024 Trend Forecasts and Tips for Announcements

Here are some points regarding themes that are likely to gain popularity in 2024 and the timing for sharing articles on social media.

• Milestones like the end of the year, the beginning of the year, and the end of the first half are great times for retrospective or "Best of" articles.

• Movie analysis and review articles are easy to read not only while they are in theaters, but also when they start streaming on Amazon Prime Video or Netflix, or when they are broadcast on TV. It is also a good idea to share past articles on social media at those times.

• There is still expected to be reader demand for how to use the latest tools like ChatAI and generative AI, as well as tools that help with work efficiency like Notion.

• For dramas, anime, and manga, it is good to publish articles or introduce related articles published in the past when they become a topic, such as when the latest episode is updated, they win an award, or they are released on subscription services.

• Impressions of comedy award shows are most likely to be read from the day of the event up to a week later. It is also recommended to re-share past articles related to the comedians who performed well.

• With the return of travel demand, articles about trips and travel goods are attracting attention.

• Due to the weak yen and rising prices, articles introducing ways to enjoy a minimalist lifestyle are expected to remain popular (Reference: #ThingsIBoughtAndLoved Report 2023).

• Events like Comiket and the Literature Flea Market are likely to continue to be successful. When exhibiting, it is useful to summarize information such as your menu, booth location, and the social media accounts you usually use in a note in advance.
