Aside from writing some posts on August blog post ideas, start thinking about what posts you’ll be promoting in September and October.
These are some of the busiest months when it comes to blog traffic, with so many great topics people are searching for and reading.
The end of July and early August is when you should be:
- Determining your September and October post schedule
- Creating rough outlines for posts
- Drafting first copies, researching and finding the right keywords
- Formatting and finalizing a few posts so that they’re ready to go
Why all this planning?
