Most of my internet marketing friends and myself write blogs in advance. Sometimes we even write stuff out for content to be published a month out. I currently have 20 articles set to auto publish for the next few weeks and I currently have about 20 other drafts that I am currently working on. We blog for the future because this way we are never worried about the current or present blog situation. We publish content that is ready at the present moment and we write out new blog posts for content we will publish in the future. This way I am never at pressure to come out with urgent content and I can also take time off on a vacation without worrying about content.

I started implementing this strategy at the start of this year and I have successfully managed to post 5 blog posts a week. What strategy are you implementing for your blog?

Thanks for the post! I think it’s a necessity to plan ahead if you’re aiming for a successful blog: figure out which posts should go in which order, planning for a series etc. And planning definitely makes you more relaxed to your blogging approach. Knowing you have relevant content going out relaxes your mind and make your brain invent even more relevant posts. Thanks again for sharing!

Content marketing, and especially blogging, is a tricky game, but if we re-work some old sales jargon, maybe we can make it a little easier.
