Writing December Blog Posts In October & November
With so many things happening in December, you’re bound to find little time for blog writing.
So October and November are ideal for writing and scheduling posts. It takes about a month for Pinterest and Google to index your posts. Always give yourself a bit of leeway for this. It also gives you time to create social media posts to promote your new content.
Batch your social media content to promote your posts and you’re saving time during this busy season.

If you’re planning to publish a post about New Year’s Eve, AVOID using the hashtag #NewYearsDay on Instagram. It’s on the list of banned Instagram hashtags. Using it may get you blacklisted.
And if there’s a snowstorm during your Christmas break, don’t use #snowstorm.
