Scheduling Blog Posts

Hey everyone!

When Ashley approached me about a "free choice" post, I thought a fun post idea would be to show you all how I organize and plan my posts - which is a very simple two step process! 

1. Categorize Ideas. 

I keep a running legal pad of blog post ideas for each month. I created a "sample" of how I do this

I like to color coordinate when it comes to arranging the posts. 

Pink - Beauty. 

Red - Fashion.

Purple - Lifestyle.  

Obviously, since this month has just begun and this is more of a "sample" picture, I don't have as many blog ideas! #Whoops

2. Organize/Arrange posts. 

After I write all my posts down on the legal pad, I will print out a layout I made and saved on my computer. Since my post schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, I have it saved in that arrangement. I then put the exact date of the month when the post will actually be up. 

Then, once I write the post and have it "scheduled", I will highlight it, so I know I can move on and begin working on the next post! 

....

ANOTHER OPTION!

Another method I have been considering doing for quite some time is having a virtual calendar,  connected to your e-mail, where you can arrange posts. The reason I have been hesitant about this idea is because I like being able to highlight and cross things off easily, however, if you are one always on the go - this is definitely an idea to consider.

I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know, if you are a blogger - how do you plan/arrange your posts? 

Let me know in the comments!
