hey guys and welcome to blog tip tuesday where i share helpful blog tips every single tuesday
in today's video we are going to talk about how to build a content calendar for your blog if
you've seen my video on my six figure blog formula you'll see that i use kw finder to build a list of
article ideas that can last me months or even up to a year i also use ahrefs to find out what
keywords my competitors are ranking for to see if i can rank for those as well after i have
enough content ideas i just focus on writing an article every single week now just so you guys
know this is what i was doing in the early days when i first got started just building
my foundation i'd be happy if i were a new article every three months now i just really slowed down
because i just got burned out writing an article every single week but i can do this because i
write mostly evergreen content and evergreen content is content that doesn't go out of date
it revolves around a topic that is always relevant to readers regardless of the current
news cycle or season and it's called evergreen because it's a plant that keeps its green leaves
all year round this should be a goal of yours to have content like this just so you can get
consistent traffic to your site all year round since i write about work from home jobs this is
definitely something that is evergreen because people are searching for this type of content
all year round but i do take advantage of holiday traffic because it does give me a nice boost of
traffic during the holiday season and this is when i really take advantage of pinterest so
i downloaded this free pinterest planner from tailwind and i'm going to share the link with
you guys if you're interested as well but it gives me ideas about what to pin and promote
each month and i hope this can give you some content ideas that can work for your website
and just so you guys know i start writing and pinning my christmas content in august because
it does take a while for it to get noticed by pinterest and i usually just see that it
takes off around christmas time so i definitely recommend promoting your christmas content around
august so it gets stuck in the pinterest algorithm and it should do well around christmas time
so what i do is i decide what articles i want to write based on my keyword research
and this pinterest planner right here i'll put it together in a google spreadsheet like this
after having a planning session with myself on what i think is a good idea to write an article
each week during each month and my goal in the early days was to publish an article each week and
if you want to see how i was able to accomplish that you can definitely check out my blogging
schedule video i did right here that shows you how i was actually able to do it with a full-time job
toddler husband and just a crazy life but it can definitely be done now this list is just for the
purpose of this video it's usually a lot longer but i'm just doing this as an example to show
you how you can fill in your content calendar now after it's filled out i just execute now you don't
have to fill this all out i do it just to give me some direction for the next couple of months
just so i'll know what to focus on i'm not married to anything on this list it can change like if i
feel more passionate to write about something else i may do that i can do that but this is just how i
do my content calendar i focus on more evergreen content but i also do throw some holiday content
in the mix as well now i know other people do their content calendars a lot different than i do
but this is just what works for me and i'm going to put my video i just did on my six
figure blog formula just so you can see how i approach blogging and my blogging strategy
and i'll also put this pinterest planner in the description below just to give you some ideas
on holiday content as well now i know this was a short video today but doing the keyword research
that's the part that takes the most time once you have keyword ideas or better known as
article ideas then the content planning just becomes the easy part all right so that's
it so as always i'd love to know if you found this video helpful if you liked it i'd love it
if you give it a thumbs up and let me know in the comment section if it was helpful as well
and as always if you have any blogging questions on anything else let me know in the comment
