Why Should You Start Your Gift Guides By September?
If you’re a blogger who does Holiday gift guides or wants to do them, September is the latest when you can start pulling together your gift ideas.
Ideally, you should be publishing on September blog post topics in August. By the end of September, you should be publishing Holiday posts to get indexed on Pinterest and search engines.
To get blog inspiration and update your blog content calendar.
In some cases, you can seek samples for your own photography (recommended), and your social media push.
Putting together amazing gift guides takes longer than regular posts.
NOTE: Take advantage of gift guides to use affiliate links where it makes sense. Monetize your gift guides!
