🗂️ The content database template is a useful tool for organizing and managing content.
If you have a large amount of content to input, consider breaking it up into smaller batches to make the process more manageable.
Additionally, you can customize the template to fit your specific needs by adding or removing columns as necessary.
Finally, make sure to regularly review and update the content in the database to ensure its accuracy and relevance. You can find a video tutorial of this template HERE.
