Good morning and welcome back to the blog! If you're a blogger/ content creator you know how difficult it can be to come up with ideas constantly and put everything together every day of the year. There's a reason why so many bloggers suffer from burnout and give up on their blogs. I myself have suffered burnout on multiple occasions and have even stepped away from the blog from months on end at times. I have found that having a system in place is the only way to avoid burnout.
I have come up with a way to create one year of content in as little as one month that works for me and hopefully it will work for you as well.
Week One
Spend one week writing down blog post ideas. If you're having trouble thinking of ideas, start with reviews of things you use on a daily basis. You can review kitchen appliances, beauty, skincare, video games, movies, TV Shows, music. If that's not your strong suit you can opt for recipes, favorite snacks, day in the life, write about journaling, pets, outfit of the day etc. When you have exhausted all avenues head on over to your social media sites and see what people are talking about. When you come across a pin, tweet, etc. that captures your interest there's a good chance you can write about something similar. I spent 5 days writing down blog post titles. I have learned for myself at least once I have a title that writing comes quickly and easily.
Weeks Two and Three
Once you have your blog post titles the writing will come naturally. Having a starting point is key. The biggest advice I can give you here is to logout of your social media accounts. I have found that this cuts down on the distractions for me and I manage to get a lot more writing accomplished in a short amount of time. Now I am different from most bloggers in that I do my photography, creating images, etc. at the same time as creating each blog post. I know a lot of bloggers that batch content do all the photography for everything at the same time but it just doesn't work for me. Once I have finished writing a blog post I can't move on until images have been added. That's just how I am. I write around five articles a day for two weeks give or take.
Week Four
I create everything in Google docs on my phone. I add images and everything into the post so when I am ready for scheduling all I have to do is open Google docs and copy and paste my blog posts including images directly into my blog. As I said before, this is what works for me to create one year of content in one month. My blog schedule is to post one blog post a week. I post on Mondays but you will have to find what works best for you. I spend week Four scheduling my posts for the year. Using Google docs allows me to upload and schedule one year of posts in one day. The remainder of the week I spend writing social media titles and links ( also in Google docs) so that I have them ready to go and schedule those as well.
There you have it. That's my method for creating one year of content in one month. You may have to tweak the system to fit your own personal needs. Let me know if this system has worked for you.
