Trying a Content Calendar

It has been just over two weeks, now, since I started using a content calendar to help plan out my posts, thanks to a walk-through from Endalia, and I have to admit that while I’m still behind on blog posts for Blapril, it has helped me significantly to plan out my ideas, and rejigger posts on the fly when I come up with more relevant ideas.

To be honest, I’ve been told before by folks to try a content calendar, and one of the books I’m reading for my adult businesses swears on using a content calendar. But I could never get myself to try it out because I thought it would just be so much work to get it set up.

Thankfully, Endalia proved me absolutely wrong, and I have noticed that I feel more motivated to blog and come up with post ideas for both this blog and my sex blog with the calendar available to peep.

It’s also helping me to get better (albeit slowly, still) at trying to be more consistent with my content output, by making it less stressful overall. If I know something’s going to go out on X day, and I write it ahead of time (and schedule the tweet advertising it ahead of time) then my work is done in about 45-60 minutes much before it’s due. It’s something I’m okay at with my adult clips, but I’m still working on getting better. I definitely think this is going to assist me with that.
