Schedule Your Blogging

This is Part 1 in the Organized Blogging series, that I mentioned a few days ago.

Part 1: Schedule Your Blogging

For those of you who blog for a living or even part time for that matter, a blogging schedule is a great thing to consider implementing. Knowing when you are going to blog and which blog you are going to work on, can send your blogging success through the roof. When you are focused and organized on your blogging projects, it can move blogging from a hobby to a career.

There are many ways to set up a blogging schedule and it all depends on how many blogs you have and how you work best.  For example, if you have one blog and you work best with paper, then writing down when you will write and how many posts you will do on a calendar may be sufficient. If you have six blogs and you prefer setting your schedule up on the computer, you could do so with a Google calendar or and Excel spreadsheet.

For me personally, I like to work on certain blogs certain days of the week. So, on my calendar (I am used to a paper calendar, but I am trying to move to a digital one) I write down on the days of the week which blog I will work on and how many blog posts I would like to do. This helps me tremendously when Monday rolls around. I sit down at my computer and know exactly what I am going to work on. I also usually know what I going to write about, but I’ll save that topic for Part 2 of the Organized Blogging series.

If you truly treat your blogging as a business and you as the business owner of that blog, then you will start to see some changes in your blog’s success. Scheduling your blogging is the first step in the right direction.
