{Crochet Blogging} Creating an Editorial Calendar

Writing Prompt: In 2013 I will post __ days a week. I’ll participate in ___ linkys and ___ challenges. Topics I will write about are ___.

Last year I developed an editorial calendar for my crochet blog. I intended to stick to it but it didn’t work out. Things happened and I

pretty much gave up on my plan.

Why am I telling you this? Making an editorial calendar and sticking to one are two entirely different things. My advice – Stick to it. You will be rewarded.

How Do You Make an Editorial Calendar?

1. Grab a calendar
2. Mark important dates like linky’s and blog challenges (crochet month in March)
3. Decide whether you’ll be writing based on holidays, seasons, projects or other theme
4. Market the days you’ll be posting to the blog (M, W, F) with sample titles and 1 – 2  sentences about what your post will be about.

If you do this for each month in 2013 you’ll have an easier time sticking to a blogging schedule. You’ll have titles done, ideas done, and content based on challenges and linkys done. See how much content you already have?
