Beginner Editorial Calendar Template

An editorial calendar is a road map for your blogging or social marketing. It's a plan of attack, a game plan, a plot, a method - whatever word works for your brain, an editorial calendar is a really easy way to organize your posts and stay accountable to those posts!

In this post, I'm going to talk about editorial calendars for blogging: you don't even really need to a calendar to have an editorial calendar. This little formula is one of the easiest ways to build one.

Step 1: Pick 6 broad subjects - below are some examples. You can substitute in any subject matter, whether it's about your hobbies, your passion or your business. 
  • Music
  • Movies
  • Fitness
  • Books
  • Quotes
  • Photography 
Step 2: Pick a day of the week that is usually quieter than other days, like Tuesday afternoons

Every Tuesday afternoon, you're going to write a blog based on your content for that week. 
  • Week One: Music
  • Week Two: Movies
  • Week Three: Fitness
  • Week Four: Books
  • Week Five: Quotes
  • Week Six: Photography
  • REPEAT!
And voila! You've got your first editorial calendar! For the first six months, stick with one post a week until you really get into the rhythm of posting regularly. It's a marathon - not a sprint. You don't want to post 15 blogs in 4 days and then get burnout and your blog goes silent for 3 months.
