Ready for a Blogging Challenge?
If you’re like me, you get really busy doing day-to-day tasks and don’t always take the time to hone your skills. I found on of the best ways to keep in practice was to participate in a 30-day blogging challenge. It’s easy to do and you don’t need anyone to join you. It’s you and the keyboard.
Here is a quick start guide to get you started:
Editorial Calendar
I find that as long as I have something written in my desk calendar, then I am more likely to do it. Because I am a task-oriented person, everything has to be written down for me. Mostly, so I can mark them off and get a feeling of satisfaction!
This is an example of my editorial calendar:
I have four blogs in the works, so it’s necessary for me to use a spreadsheet to keep my writing on track. I plan my posts out four months in advance, add them to my calendar, and my day timer software. This way, I can work in advance and I don’t have to spend any time trying to figure out what I’m going to write about. You can set up the spreadsheet in google docs too.
