20 Summer Lifestyle Blog Post Ideas

This year I made it my mission to create and maintain a content calendar for my blog. I had tried creating and using a content calendar before, but I ultimately failed because I didn’t stick with it. Because I didn’t stick with updating and using my content calendar I had an inconsistent posting schedule and stagnant blog growth.

The great thing about a content calendar is it gives you a bird’s eye view of your blog’s content. This helps with keeping your blog content organized as well as your social and email content.

Since I’ve been consistently updating and using my content calendar I always know what I’m blogging about and when. This has made blogging so much easier.

My content calendar is especially helpful when I have weeks or weekends that are really busy. When this happens I don’t have time to work on my blog as much as I need or like to.

Without my content calendar, I wouldn’t have blog posts created and scheduled during those busy times. Instead, I would end up scrambling to create half-cocked blog posts or I have some weeks without any posts going live. Not something that would help the upward momentum my blog has been having.

So far I’ve been doing a good job of keeping my content calendar updated. In fact, I have blog post ideas that can get me through the end of June. So I won’t be running out of blog post ideas anytime soon!
