Good information is valuable. I have always used some form of editorial or event calandar to plan my weekly/monthly work load. I guess it comes from my previous full time day job. Far more productive working this way.
Thanks for the input Lisa.

Thanks for this post! I do practice collecting material over time as blog ideas develop, but I still struggle with getting my postings more organized and scheduled. This sounds really attractive and I’m setting up my calendar now.

Hi Lisa, great post and very good advices, surely an editorial calendar helps. Unfortunately if blogging is not your job (I mean, if you do it for fun/personal interest, but you already have a primary income from a “normal” job) it is always hard (at least for me) to plan in an effective way my writing. Still a great post though.

Quick point on why I think Barry Schwartz says he doesn’t need an editorial calendar and you say you do. Barry is essentially a journalist who reacts to the latest news. He provides more insight and interpretation than a reporter does. But he’s usually bringing us the latest industry news. You’re primarily a columnist, which is why yesterday you could link to this 9 month old article, and the article is as relevant as it was when you wrote it (though writing a comment on it is like trying to pick up a girl at a party after everybody went home). For this kind of column writing I’m sure the discipline of an editorial calendar is very helpful. For bringing us the news, it isn’t. You and Barry are both A-list search engine bloggers, but you have different skill-sets and you’re doing different jobs.

What an AWESOME post. As someone that just relaunched his blog after a while relaxing, this was a lot of help in being able to plan my writing, which I enjoy immensely, but as a busy guy, have to schedule, otherwise things get put off.

Thank you, Lisa, for some real good quality content.

Late to the party, as always, but this is a great post – and one I find incredibly helpful and not merely interesting. A lot of what you blog about – like SEO and building community – I find interesting but have no current use for (until I do, and then I will) but even for a personal blogger like myself, this advice is sure to prove itself invaluable. Thanks, as always, for what you do best: making me think. sherry
