Organise Your Blog Posts
Today I thought I’d share how I organise my blog posts.
You will see that each one has an image, and may or may not have an appropriate link (e.g. if I’m referring to a product, or another site etc). So I’ve created a template that I use myself to organise my blog posts.
And I thought I’d share it with you (I know, I’m nice like that!)
Things you may want to consider:
~ Whether you will post on a certain day / date? For example, I’m trialling sharing one blog post a week, on a Thursday.
~ Whether you want to include an affiliate link (and if so, please cloak it – if you use WordPress, you can use Pretty Link Lite to cloak your links for free).
~ What are the main points you want to get across in your post?
~ What call to action will you use (i.e. what do you want your reader to do after they’ve read your post)
The free download covers a couple of other areas as well, so please check it out by clicking on the image below!

Then you may wish to consider how you schedule in your posts.
For example, I have a running list that I add to whenever I get a blog post idea, and then I look for a relevant timeslot – so perhaps there’s a product launching that you’ve reviewed? Schedule your post for that week. A seasonal blog post (e.g. Xmas, Easter, summer holidays, Halloween etc)? A celebration? I know some people do a “it’s my birthday so here’s an offer for you”-type posts.
My plan at the end of this year is to look ahead to next year, think about the holidays or other reasons to celebrate, and see if I can tie in something relevant.
Then (this is the most important bit), I will schedule it all in to my diary. That way, I have a reminder each week of the blog post I need to create, rather than scrabbling around for ideas at the last minute!
After all, an Organised Goddess is a happy goddess!
