Can I tell you a secret? When I started blogging in March of 2017, I really had no idea what I was doing. I was, what you might call, a spur of the moment blogger. If something happened in our lives, I would blog about it. If nothing exciting was going on, I would scramble to find a topic and then I would kick myself when I would see posts for these random national days. I remember seeing a blog post for National Pizza Day and thinking… Shoot, I totally could have joined in on that one, considering the number of times we eat pizza in this house. I felt like I was always missing the memo but the truth is, I just never took the time to plan! I didn’t know where to look, or who to ask. So, while I have a wide variety of things I want to blog about, this year I decided to plan around some of the important days and of course, I had to share! Read on for our free printable editorial calendar for the first quarter of 2019!
What is Your Strategy?
Before I share the link to the printable editorial calendar, I figured I would share my strategy for those of you that are like me and didn’t really have a plan. I sat down at the beginning of the month and highlighted the things that seemed most important to me and my readers. Next, I pulled out my planner and filled in scheduled blog posts, when I would need pictures by and gave myself enough time to write and edit photos. An hour or so later, I was officially scheduled through the first quarter of 2019! I’ve saved myself time in the long run because I know what I need and when I need it by. Of course, if something comes up, as it tends to do, I can adjust accordingly, but at least I know I’ll have consistent content for the next few months.
On the agenda for this month? A fun valentine’s day craft for the family, a Mediterranean inspired recipe and my experience with CBD oil, just to name a few. Make sure you join our email list so you don’t miss out!
