Why Using A Blog Planner Is So Freaking Important

March 22, 2016 By Tara Jacobsen

Why Using A Blog Planner Is So Freaking Important... I fought using a blog planner for years. I thought I could keep a list (somewhere) or use the drafts in my Wordpress (loser) and not have to be tied down to just a few blog posts that I HAD to write. Then I made my own blog planner and wah, wah, everything became wonderful in my blogging world. I can now schedule out posts, brainstorm topics that I LIKE to write about and generally be more productive and make more money from my blog.
