If one of your problems with blog writing is the planning and scheduling, you're not alone! I see questions on forums and LinkedIn groups around these topics all the time.

Over the Christmas / New Year break I decided to sit down and plan out my blog topics for the year – I didn’t know what I was going to write about but once I started planning the ideas kept flowing.

The first thing I did was to think about how my service helps small business owners with their marketing and lead generation and then I worked it back into a logical sequence of events. Each event then became a topic for a month and from there I created a bunch of blog titles that relate to the monthly topic. So far this has worked well for me – so I thought I’d share it with you.

There is a link in today’s blog article to download my content calendar. I have included descriptions for what to do and examples to help you get started.

If you have any questions you can ask them in the comment section below or on my Facebook page – Inbound Marketing Solutions.

Last week I wrote an article about how to turn what you know into blog articles – you may find that helpful too as you’re working on your content calendar for the year - so Ive included a link for that article in this article too.

Good luck with your blog planning!
