As someone who jumps back and forth between posts, this feature has been so helpful in streamlining my process. Once you connect your account, you can simply click on the post you want to work on from the calendar view, click edit, and it will automatically open the post in WordPress. Like I mentioned, CoSchedule works hand-in-hand with WordPress making drafting and scheduling blog posts a breeze. Above is a glimpse of the different types of posts I have. I currently have To-Do Templates for Recipe Posts, DIY Posts, and Partnered Posts so that I can customize the different tasks based on the work needed. It also helps me when I batch blog posts in seeing the amount of photos I need to edit in any given time. Each task is broken down and the progress is tracked, making it easy for me to see where the project is at.īreaking down blog posts like this has helped me get over the mental block of the work involved and has allowed me to focus on one task at a time. With CoSchedule, I can create a blog post “template” that I can easily select any time I create a new posts. In other programs that I’ve tried, I’ve had to manually replicate to-do lists for similar type of posts. None of the other programs I’ve tried out track progress in this way and it’s something I really find beneficial, even if just for the mental satisfaction. So if I see that one post is 90% done and another is 10% done, I can decided whether I want to push the more completed one up a bit. The other nice thing about calendar view is that it shows the progress percentage of each post. Each post you schedule through CoSchedule updates automatically in WordPress so if you decide to shift things around, you don’t have to go back into WordPress to make sure the dates align. And not only that, I can schedule multiple blog posts and social media posts on each day and be able to quickly see what will be going out. What I love about CoSchedule’s calendar feature is that it allows me to easily add and rearrange blog posts in the monthly view. No matter what I’m doing, I have to have things on a gridded calendar so I can envision the weeks and months ahead of me. There are so many great features with CoSchedule, so let’s break them down into my favorite parts! The Traditional Calendar View Not only that, it allows me to connect each of those blog posts to WordPress so that I can quickly jump back and forth between projects and track their progress. Instead of having to keep to-do lists on various different apps (or in my notebook!), CoSchedule allows me to create separate to-do lists for each blog post.

What originally drew me to CoSchedule was that it is an all-in-one marketing toolkit.

That’s when I decided to test out a few different methods and finally decided to try CoSchedule – an editorial calendar portal designed with Wordpress users in mind. I knew that if I didn’t have it scheduled, weeks (or months) would go by and my blog would take the back burner in the midst of all the other priorities. I was tired of rushing to get blog posts done the night before and scrambling to come up with ideas on a whim. When I went back to full-time freelance, I knew I had to get serious about my blogging schedule. There were times when I would create a rough calendar for blog posts but in between trying to manage spreadsheets, Google calendars, and physical calendars nothing quite stuck. Throughout the years, I’ve blogged in between school, part-time jobs, full-time corporate jobs, and now blogging and designing full-time from home. After about 6 years of blogging, it wasn’t until last month when I decided to get serious about my editorial calendar.
