Wondering How to Plan Your Blog Content?

Yes it’s true that content is the centerpiece of your inbound marketing strategy. However, planning then writing then marketing a blog post can quickly become a puzzle.

Below I’ve mentioned 5 essential tools to help you with how to plan your blog content

1. Feedly

Feedly.com is an RSS feed aggregator. This tool can help you when it comes to curating your content. You just log in to Feedly, follow the relevant sites and blogs in your field, and at a glance, you will have access to the latest posts from each of the followed sites.

This information shows you quickly how to identify the hot topics at the moment. This will give you ideas for articles for your blog, freebies, and social media topics.

Also, you instantly have access to to the latest news in your area so that you can share it with your audience. Feedly is also available as a mobile application, which is great for when you’re looking for inspiration on the go. Feedly is available on the web, IOS, or Android. 

2. Trello

Trello is a very easy to use project management tool that I personally use for help when it comes to planning, collecting, and organizing my ideas for my blog content and production schedule.

It is also a very practical tool when several people are involved in creating content because it allows you to follow the progress of everyone’s work and share ideas for articles and plans.

Trello is very useful for structuring your work. If you’re struggling with how to plan your blog content and organize your ideas, Trello may be the answer for you.

3. Canva

Canva is an online design software that I use literally every day for my blog. With Canva, you can easily make cool designs to illustrate your blog articles, product sheets, or post on social networks. I’m talking everything from Pinterest Pins to Instagram and Facebook graphics. Canva is a very interesting graphic tool, giving you access to a large bank of images, icons, illustrations, fonts of all styles.

The free version of Canva is very useful but paying for CanvaPro is so worth it because the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can do with it. Canva is very easy to use and practical when you do not have a graphic designer or web designer on your team; this tool is accessible to everyone and is by far my favorite blogging tool.

4. Infogram

Infogram is another online tool that allows you to create your infographics quickly and easily. You have access to a wide choice of proposed designs. You can easily insert graphics, maps, photos, videos to your infographics. Then all you have to do is share your infographics with your community on your social networks or blog.

Infogram is an important tool to have on hand, given the effectiveness of infographics in content marketing. In addition to its free version, Infogram offers four professional subscriptions that give you access to various additional options, for example for the Business subscription.

5. Buffer

Buffer facilitates your sharing on social networks by allowing you to manage your social networks through a single interface. In addition to saving you time, Buffer’s great advantage is that it allows you to plan your posts and shares for your various social networks. This tool also allows you to analyze the performance of your different posts. Thanks to Buffer, you can manage your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and now Pinterest accounts all from one place.

Blogging can become complicated the more you get into it but these tools will help make it easier.
