Faceless YouTube Content Calendar: A Free Template Tied to the GhostViral AI Calendar
A practical content calendar for a faceless YouTube channel, plus a free CSV. Plan the topic, hook, length and approval, then enter the same days in the GhostViral AI Calendar.
Key takeaways
- A faceless channel calendar is a list of episodes with a date, not a mood board.
- The free CSV is a planning file. GhostViral AI does not import it.
- Move a row into the in-app Calendar only when the topic, length, account and approval choice are filled in.
- A scheduled 30-second Fast AI video costs 15 credits, plus 2 credits per platform if you post from the app.
- Three active plans and three videos a day are the real caps. The sheet should respect them.
The short answer
Plan faceless YouTube episodes in a sheet with one row per video: date, time, topic, hook, length, language, platforms and whether you will approve it before it posts. GhostViral AI publishes a free CSV for that. When a row is ready, you create or edit a Calendar rule in the app so the video is written, voiced, captioned and rendered on that day.
The CSV is not a feature inside the product. There is no import button. The point of the file is to decide the episodes before credits are spent. The Calendar is the part that makes the file. It is included with every paid plan. The free trial of 60 credits makes individual videos, with a watermark, and does not schedule them.

What to put on the calendar
A useful row can be filmed, or in this case rendered, without a meeting. If the topic is only a vibe, the script step will wander and the stock search will return pretty clips that do not match. Write the hook as a sentence you could say. Write the length as 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds for a Short, or 5, 8 or 12 minutes for a 16:9 video on Standard and above.
The pipeline stage column is the human checklist: idea, research, script, voiceover, editing, thumbnail, scheduled, published. GhostViral AI covers script, voiceover, stock editing and, if you ask it to, scheduled and published. Research and the thumbnail choice stay with you. The product does not design a YouTube thumbnail as a separate asset. The frame people see in the feed is the video.
Columns in the free template, and who fills them.
| Column | Example | Who fills it |
|---|---|---|
| date, time, timezone | 2026-11-03, 18:00, America/New_York | You, then the Calendar rule |
| series and topic | Ocean facts / Why the deep ocean is cold | You |
| hook | The ocean gets colder for a reason most maps hide | You, then edited in the script step |
| length_seconds and aspect | 30 and 9:16 | You. The app only accepts its duration list. |
| language and voice | English, Fast AI | You |
| platforms | YouTube, or YouTube and TikTok | You. Up to six accounts on one plan. |
| approval | hold or auto | You. Start on hold. |
| pipeline_stage | idea through published | You, as the episode moves |
A week that fits the product
The scheduler allows three videos in a day across every active plan, three active plans, and up to three times of day on a single plan. A weekly plan can run up to 180 days. A sheet that says seven uploads a day cannot be entered as written. Build the week inside the cap, then add a second series only by pausing something or by using a different day.
Credits are charged when the video is made, not when you save the rule. A 30-second Fast AI video is 15 credits. Posting it from the app is 2 credits for each platform. A daily 30-second Short to YouTube and TikTok is 19 credits a day. Downloading and uploading yourself drops the posting fee. If the balance runs out, the rule pauses instead of posting a broken file.

From the sheet to a Calendar rule
Open Channels, connect the YouTube account, and switch to Calendar. New rule asks for the theme, optional topics used one per video, the length, the voice, the days, the hour, the time zone and the accounts. Paste the series theme from the sheet. Put the episode topics in the topic list, in the order you want them used. Set approval to wait. The form shows the sentence it will repeat and the cost before you save.
Each video starts about six hours before its slot. If GhostViral AI is open in a browser, that tab renders it. If not, a Short of up to 60 seconds can render on the server, up to 15 times a month per account. A video set to wait shows as Ready. Approve it and it posts at the planned time, or immediately if that time has passed. If nobody approves it within seven days, it is released from the queue and stays in Projects.
Drag a planned video to another day on the in-app calendar when the sheet changes. Pausing a rule takes back posts that have not gone out and returns their posting fee. The CSV will not update itself. Change the row when you change the rule, or the sheet becomes fiction.
Several channels without a messy sheet
Use one series name per channel promise. If two YouTube channels share a login in GhostViral AI, they should not share a topic list. Add another YouTube account in Channels, then point each plan at one account. The same video can go to TikTok as well, when it is actually the same video. A second language is a second video, up to three extra languages, not a subtitle file on the first upload. Subtitle files in up to five languages are a separate option for platforms where you upload captions yourself.
Keep the sheet's platforms column honest. GhostViral AI posts to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X. It does not post to Facebook, LinkedIn or Threads. If a row names a platform the product does not connect, that row is a manual upload.

How to use the template this week
Download the CSV and delete the example rows, or overwrite them. They are illustrations, not a niche recommendation and not a result. Fill ten rows before you create a rule. Research is a link or a note in the notes column, enough that the script cannot invent a number you have not checked. Then make the first video by hand in Create so you can see the stock match. Only the rows that survived that test belong on a schedule.
- Download the CSV and replace the example rows.
- Write ten topics with a spoken hook and a length the app supports.
- Mark the first week as hold, not auto.
- Connect one YouTube account and create one rule from the series theme.
- After seven approved videos, decide whether that rule may post on its own.
