  • Pick a day to blog each week and stick to it!

    • Mid-week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) are the best days for audience engagement.
  • Pick a day each month to plan the blogs for the week.

    • Just an outline, or a list of suggested topics. It will help you to blog every week and not feel overwhelmed.
  • Try to plan out special topics every 3-6 months, or if you are really organized, try to plan for 12 months out.

    • You don’t have to write about each topic each month, but it will help you when you need a little extra inspiration.
  • Now plan the rest of your routine tasks around your blog day.
