The 2018 Blog Planner is Here! Check out new planner and my new website, A Well Crafted Blog.
Last year I designed a free blog planner with the input of the amazing Portland Bloggers team. I was excited last January to release a free printable blog planner for bloggers everywhere to utilize in organizing their blogs. Since then I’ve connected with bloggers from all over that use the planner! It has been such an amazing tool for myself in my own blog, but also in connecting bloggers with each other!
In my connections with bloggers that use the planner and with my own use of the planner I found several little edits I wanted to make. I’ve been working on these edits off and on over the year and am super stoked to finally release them! There is now not one, not two, but THREE different styles of printable blog planners with the updated planning pages.
Pages included in all three styles are:
- Cover (2 NEW Styles!)
- Weekly Blog Planner
- Monthly Blog Planner
- Blog Stats Tracking Sheet
- Blog Post Brainstorming Sheets
- Blogger Collaboration Sheets
- Affiliate Networking Tracking Sheet
- Blog Project Budgeting sheet (NEW!)
- Expenses and Income Tracking Sheet
- Blog Goal Sheet
- Blog Focus Worksheet (NEW!)
- Blog Sponsor Tracking Sheet
- Blog Stylesheet (NEW!)
Check out the three printable sets:
Traditional Style Blog Planner

- Love blogging, but feel like you are selling your soul a tad to promote brands on your blog? Check out this ebook by Ruth Soukup, “How to Blog for Profit: Without Selling Your Soul”.
- Joy Cho’s “Blog, Inc: Blogging for Passion, Profit, and to Create Community” is one of my favorite blogging books. I have it in ebook and paperback form (yes, I’m strange) and have many different quotes and tips book marked to look back on when I need a little inspiration.
The past few years for me have been back and forth and all over the place when it comes to work and family. I’ve been fortunate to have been able to take time to develop my blog and freelance work to really benefit myself and my family. It wasn’t easy on my husband, son, or finances living the freelance life. I’ve appreciated that I’ve had so much support these few years though– I mean, how many people get the opportunity to really work on their dreams?
Losing Focus…
In September I was offered a full-time position as a Social Media and Marketing Specialist at an amazing company that is really doing good in the community. My freelance work and my blog had finally gotten to a place where it was being profitable and I was getting closer to my goals right before this opportunity presented itself. I knew that in accepting the full time position I would have to really step back in many areas of my life. Basically, I was at a fork in the road and I decided to just battle my way through the obstacles in my path rather than deciding to take one road over the other. A whole jungle of opportunity and challenges in front of me and there I was staring it down with my machete no where in sight.
I am disappointed in the way that I handled the transition from freelance to full-time. I let some people down and I certainly let my blog go in the process. Since September I’ve felt like I am in a constant state of juggling priorities. My health has suffered. My state of mind has suffered. My friendships have suffered.
Finding Balance…
I’m just now at a point where I feel like I am getting a handle on life again. I’m learning to say no (even when I don’t want to) to opportunities that come my way that I don’t have time to do properly. I’m working on focusing and prioritizing. Heck, I’m working on learning how to have a day off!
More than that… I’m teaching myself to blog again! I’m trying to get back to the roots of why I began blogging and what I want to get out of blogging. I’m working on regular postings and clear goals for the year.
In my desire to re-focus and prioritize my blog I thought that perhaps others out there may need to work on their focus a bit. So, I created the below printable for bloggers looking to get back on track for their blogs.
