Content Planning for Your Blog: Printable Post Planner

If you’re a blogger or digital marketer managing a blog for a small business, you’ve come to the right place! Whether you’re about to start a blog or trying to improve the one you already have, you need a template to stay organized along the way and plan your content effectively. 

One of the main components of a successful blog is regular posting. In fact, the number one reason why blogs fail is inconsistent posting (due to not using templates and planners). Before implementing advanced SEO strategies to your blog, make sure you can commit to publishing new articles on a regular basis (two to four articles a week is optimal but try to post at least once a month). The type of blog that you have will help you determine exactly how often you post.

If you’re a blogger, solopreneur, or digital marketer working for a small business, your time is very limited, and every second is important for you. To improve productivity, you need to manage your time effectively — and one of the best ways to do that is by using templates for your repetitive tasks (brainstorming, planning, and scheduling blog content are often some of these).

Not only should you use a template to stay organized, but it’s also important that you plan your blogging and digital marketing strategies effectively. When it comes to blogging, the best way to do this by using a printable content planner. 

This monthly blog post planner has everything you need as a blogger to stay organized and hit your goals month over month.

You can print a few and use them month by month to brainstorm and schedule your content ideas. Start by writing the topic and keyword, and then you can brainstorm title ideas. When you have a title, think about which content type this idea is best for. Once you have a few ideas, you can schedule your content for the month.

Finally, you’ll keep track of the blog post status by checking the “published” box. Don’t forget it’s also important that you promote your new blog post with other websites and on social media to get maximum exposure and get traffic to your blog. Once you’re done with that too, you can check the “ideas promoted” box. 

Now you’re all set to manage your time effectively and schedule your blog posts each month. Use this blog post planner and make sure to publish new articles on a regular basis by setting goals. If you’re at the beginning, you can start with one post a month. Once you start getting more results, you can slowly start increasing this number.
