Toolkit (FREE Tools)

This template comes with a mini toolkit for:

• Writing

• Pictures

Here are a few tools that I chose to include:

1. Ask The Public

Before writing anything for search engines, you should think about what people are actively seeking.

I found this tool to be the most efficient: AnswerThePublic

2. Google Trends 

Trending topics, trends predictions, and finding related queries can be used to optimize local and video SEO. For instance, you can use this tool to track search volume over time to identify peak seasons within your industry.

3. CoSchedule's Headline Analyzer

The headline will determine whether or not a visitor clicks through to your page! 

With CoSchedule's Headline Analyzer, you can generate attractive headlines that get clicks!

4. Infinite Suggest

Infinite Suggest is a free keyword research tool, that you can use along the side with SEMRush or SEMScoop for keyword analysis as well.

Additionally, you should incorporate a spreadsheet into your SEO strategy to do keyword research as it will save you time and effort.

Blogs Calendar

When you're ready to write a new blog, you'll go to your blog calendar. Here's my personal blog preparation process.

1. Brainstorming Blog Ideas

Content writers are creative! 

The problem is that it is common for you not to write down all of your ideas. 

If you write down every single idea you have, you'll see a big difference!

Here's how you do it:

1. 

2. For the sake of this blog, let's prepare a blog about brand managers. Of course, you won't have a title in mind right ahead (usually), so we're just writing the idea of a "brand manager"

3. In case you work with a team of bloggers: you can choose to whom to assign this blog.

4. Select a blog category

Note: You can and shall change the categories to be in the same niche for better SEO results. 

5.With the post type selected, you can create templates for blogs, youtube videos, and social media posts.

2.  In Progress

When you've decided that your post idea fits your website, you can move it from the "Ideas" column to the "In Progress" column.

• Blog Post Template

Here is the blog template you'll see:

• Research

• Keyword Research

After polishing your keyword research, you can put the main keywords you're focusing on.

• Meta Description

The meta description (tag) is an important part of your writing, which is why I gave it a personalized section. A meta description is crucial for SEO, so I never ignore it.

• Draft

The notion is not a word processor, that's why I have never used it as one. I personally write my posts using Google Docs or Grammarly, then paste them in the draft section. 

3. In Review

Once the drafting is done, I immediately move the card to the "In Review" column.

Then, I would add the blog's picture using the media feature:

Later on, I will be editing the blog and making several changes. 

4. Published

Once a blog a published, I move to the last column, and fill in the details:

Blog Calendar View

Other than the Status view, you can choose two others.

You might choose the "Published" view and only see published content.

Or see your blogging progress using the "Calendar view":
