The past few days I have written about steps to help you write better blog content. Today is STEP 4 - Plan Ahead.
Ahh...the old riddle, is it better to plan ahead or procrastinate and do it all at the last minute. To be honest, there are a lot of things that I do very well when I am on a time crunch because I procrastinated and waited until the last minute to get the task done. I know I am not alone, there are a lot people like that.
I do, however, like to plan ahead with my tasks. For instance, although this post went live on my blog on June 18th, around 9am eastern time, I am writing this blog content on Monday, June 15th. I am in between meetings and I am caught up on paperwork and emails so I thought I would plan ahead and write a few blog posts to have them go live on the internet in a few days. This will help me during the week when those times come up that I know I should be writing a blog post to help my search efforts (because we at Compendium use blogging as a tool for SEO) but I am too swamped with my other work. Instead of not having new content on my blog, I am able to plan ahead and schedule my content to release out during the week.
So what if your corporate blogging software does not have this great feature like Compendium's does... don't worry... simply write down your content post in a program like Microsoft Word, save it, and then submit it to go live on your blog when you are ready to do so.
I like to write blog content when I am up at the crack of dawn before my kids or late at night after they have gone to sleep!
Planning ahead is a great way to get great blog content out on your network and it is STEP 4 on my steps to writing better blog content.
