Ultimate List of Blog Post Monthly Topics + FREE Printable Planner

So how is your blogging going in 2018? If you are like me, you probably had really good intentions of getting organized and getting off to a good start.

Unfortunately, that has not happened for me. Things are always so busy at the end of the year with the holidays… and so I thought I’d get things in order when my kids went back to school. Well… we had a lot of snow days, and when my kids are home, my focus on the blog is set aside…

But, it is not too late to get organized and still get going on a great year!

So, I put together a calendar with monthly topics to publish and a look-ahead to see what I want to start writing about… and you can download your FREE copy of my Ultimate List of Blog Post Monthly Topics + FREE Printable Planner and use it to organize your blogging topics this year too!

This list takes into account the things that are popular on social media— such as seasonal topics, but also includes a bonus list of evergreen topics that can be used to write about throughout the year and be of interest to readers year-round.
