Blogging is a huge industry! More and more people are turning to blogs to express themselves. However, now that blogging has gotten bigger, there is so much competition. Your blog needs to stand out. You have to do lots of work to get traffic to your website. Bullet journal spreads for blogging are a great way to get the most out of your efforts!
When it comes to blogging, you need lots of resources to make your experience the best it can be. Spreads for blogging can make keeping track of and growing your blog that much easier!
1. Blogging Stats Tracker
Blogging comes with so much to do. Following your statistics is on that list. It’s important to see how much traffic you are getting to your website and which content helps you get there. That way you can create the best content possible for your readers.
Your blogging stats can be tracked in a big yearly chart like I do mine. But you can also track them daily, weekly, monthly, etc. It doesn’t matter how you track those statistics as long as you can get some information to use to improve your blog.
2. Blog Post Ideas
You should always have a spread for your blog post ideas. If you don’t have a blog post spread, you might just find yourself out of ideas when you need them. When you have a list, it simply makes it easier to keep track of ideas you have throughout the day.
Blog posts are one of the biggest parts of blogging. Yes, social media and all that stuff matter too, but what’s the point if you don’t have content to direct your readers to?
A blog post ideas spread is simply an easy way to keep track of your writing.
3. Income Tracker
Blogging can be done simply for the fun of it but once a blog takes off, it typically starts to earn money. Blogs can earn money from ads, affiliate programs, sponsored posts, etc. The best way to see how you are improving is to see how you have changed over time.
By tracking your income, you can see which method gets you the most benefits. Armed with that knowledge, you can focus on that stream of income.
4. Recurring Expenses and Subscriptions
Blogging isn’t cheap! There are lots of expenses that come with it. It’s basically impossible to have a blog without spending a fair amount of money nowadays. And some of those expenses are recurring, either monthly or yearly. It’s best to keep track of all of those recurring expenses and subscriptions.
To make sure you are on track with all of your expenses and you don’t forget any of them, write them down in your bullet journal!
5. Password Tracker
To get traffic to your blog, you’ll need social media accounts and lots of them. The real problem with that is the passwords and usernames. There are far too many to keep track of without writing them down. A spread can help you to remember your passwords when you need them.
However, if you choose to add this spread to your bullet journal, you’ll want to be careful. Don’t lose it or show this spread to others!
6. Work Schedule
Work, life, and blogging can be overwhelming. You’ve got so much to do and little time to figure out a balance. Life can get in the way, so why not create a schedule so that you can get your blogging done?
Your schedule doesn’t have to be extensive. Some people prefer to plan out their whole day whereas others just want to pick a time of day to work on their blog. Either way, a schedule can help you stay on track with writing, social media, and other blogging activities.
7. Content Planner
Content planners are spreads for blogging that lots of people use. Bloggers can plan out their content in their bullet journals. It can mean planning out your blog posts or your social media posts. It’s much easier to plan your content than to do everything last minute.
A lot of blogging stress comes from not having a plan. It’s best to plan in advance!
8. Content Tracker
Before you decided to start a content planner, you probably wrote quite a few articles and posts. Once you have enough posts, it can be hard to remember what you have already written. And you don’t want to write about a topic over and over again.
To stop this from happening, why not have a spread with all of your articles? You can write down the titles and maybe a few words on the subject. It helps you to avoid repeats.
9. Priorities
Blogging quickly takes up lots of your time. You have to write articles, plan social media, create social media content, etc. The list is never-ending! As soon as you finish something, new problems arise or new activities need to get done. There isn’t always time for a break.
Before you get too invested (or now that you have), it might be time to plan out your priorities. Don’t ditch everything in your life to get your blogging done! Make sure you know what’s important to you so it doesn’t slip through your fingers.
10. Freebies Brainstorm
Freebies, for those of you who don’t know, are the things you give away for free in exchange for engagement or an email address.
They are an important part of blogging. It’s difficult to get the kind of engagement you need without giving something to your audience in return.
You’ll need lots of brainstorming spreads for blogging just like this one. You’ll create lots of freebies over your blogging career, so you’ll need a space for all of your ideas.
11. Keyword Tracker
Keywords are such an important part of blogging. Having a spread for your keywords can only benefit you! Keywords are what help you to get a ranking on Google and other search engines (like Pinterest). You need the right words to get traffic to your blog.
You want plenty of traffic for your website, so spreads for blogging keywords are exactly what you need to get the best results on search engines!
12. Things to Learn
You will never know everything when it comes to blogging. There is always something to learn. Algorithms, apps, platforms, and people’s interests keep changing. As things change, you need to as well.
When you discover new things you need to learn, you can simply jot them down and get to them later. When you think you’ve run out of things to do, you just need to go back to your list and find something new to learn.
13. Master To-Do List
A master to-do list is incredibly important. There are always more things to do when it comes to blogging. Your list of things to do will never end!
A master to-do list can be a great tool to help you get on track with all the things you need to do. Blogging is so much easier when you have a plan and a list of everything you want to get done.
14. Writing Tracker
Habit tracking is a big part of bullet journaling. People track plenty of habits, like water intake, vitamins, etc. And if you already have a habit tracker, why not add some things to help you with blogging?
I love tracking when I write for my blog. It keeps me informed on how often I write and when I need to start writing more. You might not notice you have been in a lull when it comes to writing but a tracker can keep you motivated to work on it.
There is so much more to blogging than writing. You have to run your social media accounts, research and create wonderful content, and so much more. It’s good that there are lots of resources out there to help you! Bullet journal spreads for blogging can be your best friend! You’ll be organized and ready to work on your blog to your heart’s content. What blogging spread will you be implementing in your bullet journal?
