Publish Your April Posts In Early March
If you can, publish your April-theme blog posts by no later than early March, so when you submit your post to Google Search Console for indexing, it starts ranking quicker.
This also gives people enough time to plan and do some research. A good rule of thumb is to post no later than a month before if you’re writing on seasonal topics.
Spring Clean Your Blog!
Did you know that the summer period is the time when people spend the least time on their blogs? There’s so much to do! But if your blog includes tips for summer activities or events, Spring is the best time to write and publish.
However, what do you do when your blog is in need of an overhaul?
If you’ve been thinking of doing some upgrades to your blog, this is a good time to do it before the summer season keeps distracting you from your site!
Spruce up your:
- Blog theme with a new look and design – I recommend you check out Bluchic for elegant feminine themes, 17th Avenue, or Envato’s ThemeForest for an array of WordPress themes.
- Fresh images for a cohesive look! Check out Ivory Mix, Styled Stock Society, Pixistock and one of my new favourites – Stocklane – for gorgeous, feminine stock photos that go beyond the typical stock photos. Read more about my 10 favourite places to get stock photos.
- Boost your site speed with one of the best caching plugins: WP Rocket has greatly speeded up my sites, going from approximately 39 on the Google Page Speed Test to 85+, loading it quickly for site users.
- Interlinks and backlinks (make sure they aren’t broken, by using Broken Link Checker plugin)
It’s also a good time to update old blog posts that need fresh information and new links.
And don’t forget to update keywords and tweak your on-page SEO for blog posts – especially older ones that have been sliding in ranking over time.
Get my free on-page SEO keyword worksheet and checklist to help you organize your updates.
Finally, don’t forget to create a new batch of Pinterest pins – it’s always good to keep these fresh.
