The truth is that most of us blog as a hobby or a side hustle because we’re passionate about writing and want to share our experiences with the world – whether that passion is about books, beauty, or travel, etc. Given that most of us are blogging on the side, staying organized and planning posts ahead of time is essential to sustain success without burning out.
However, when you have very little free time, the thought of pre-planning can seem daunting when it doesn’t have to be. There is a wide variety of tools available that make this process easy to visualize and organize. Please keep reading for a list of helpful tools that I use to pre-plan for my blog.
