Business Blogging 101: How to Develop an Editorial Calendar [Quick Video]

The following video is the last of six snippets from a presentation we did on Business Blogging. So far, we've covered:

1. Why you should start a business blog
2. How to get started
3. Creating content your audience will love
4. How to create content with limited time
5. Why consistency is the #1 key to content marketing success

To wrap up the series, there's one more important topic to cover. Once you've started your blog and have a quality plan in place, you need to keep track of it all by creating an editorial calendar.

In the quick video below, Donna explains why the editorial calendar is a vital tool and what you should include when developing yours:

• Blog Topic or Title
• Notes on the Blog Topic
• Author
• Internal Deadline & Publish Date
• Target Audience
• Intended Call-to-Action

She explains how recording these things in one place can help your team stay organized and help ensure your blog content is fresh and varied.
