[center]How to Set Up a Blog Schedule[/center]

If you have problems getting your work done you haven’t properly planned your schedule.
Taking into account why you’re blogging is the first step in this process.

Discover Your Why
Let the reason why you’re blogging guide you.
Be led by your freedom. Be led by your fun.
When you know why you’re blogging – and tie that reason to having fun, freeing yourself and helping your readers – you will build your day around writing, editing and publishing your blog posts.
Write the reason why you’re blogging on a piece of paper.
Fold the paper. Tuck it into your pocket.
Let that paper be your blogging guide.
If you’re struggling to set aside time to blog pull out the paper to get back on course.

Pull Back
Pull back from your posting schedule.
Almost all bloggers with scheduling problems feel overwhelmed by publishing posts too frequently.
Post at most once weekly during this pull back phase.
If you’re really having a tough time with following or even setting a blogging schedule publish posts every 2 weeks.
Take a slow, deep breath. Exhale. Relax.
Publish posts less frequently to stick to your schedule and to improve the quality of your work.

Post Frequency
Only publish a thorough, SEO-optimized, in-depth resource to give your readers the most possible value.
If this means publishing a blog post once every 2 weeks stick to that schedule to create targeted, quality offerings.
Publishing a thorough resource that solidifies your blogging reputation 3 to 4 times a week is virtually impossible and almost always leads to burnout and failure.
Your goal is not to publish content. Your goal is to publish a helpful resource to build your blogging brand on a rock solid foundation.
Establish a posting frequency that allows you to create an in-depth, long form post spanning from 1,000 to 3,000 words or more each time you hit the“publish” button.

Set Deadlines for 3 Stages

Write.
Edit and format.
Publish.
Establish an orderly workflow by setting deadlines for each stage of the blog post publishing process.
Set a deadline for writing your next post. Give yourself 3 days to hammer out the first draft.
Set aside the next 2 days for editing and formatting. Reread the post out loud. Does it sound okay? Edit by trimming fat or by adding value. Format the post by adding professional images, bolding and italics to your post.
Allow the post to sit for a few days. Publish after reading the post for the last time.
Publishing requires little work. Set a short and sweet deadline for publishingto ensure that the post goes live.

Work from Your Inner Clock
Honor your inner clock to set a blog schedule that works for you.
Early bird bloggers should work in the morning.
Night owls can work deep into the evening.
Maybe you prefer to write during afternoon hours.
Listen to your body. Follow your intuition.
Set a blogging schedule which agrees with your inner clock to stick to it.
