Maybe you need a little help organizing your blog with upcoming post ideas, reviews, and all the expenses that can go along with running a site. Years ago I created a free blog planner that has been a huge help to me and many other. The planner itself is undated so it can be used year after year, but recently I updated the yearly calendar page for my readers as well and thought it would be great to reshare.
Would you like a peek inside my blog planner?
To make a blog planner similar to mine you will need the following supplies:
I use a Mead flexible binder that is a cross between a 3 ring binder and a plastic covered composition notebook. The binder gives me plenty of room to expand and can also use pockets and dividers that fit in a typical 3 ring binder. The planner is set up to print front/back and is not dated, so you can use it from year to year. Each month there is a month-at-a-glance calendar with room underneath to note the most important things to do.
I use monthly calendar to give me a quick snapshot overview and see if there are things I need to move or add in. The facing page has room to track giveaways and/or reviews. I like having all of the company info in one spot {contact info, important links, due dates, etc…} along with space to check off when it is completed. I typically try not to schedule more than 2 reviews or giveaways in a month, but have room for three…just in case!
There is also additional space to jot down extra notes {Note: I custom divided this area in mine to keep track of any sponsors/advertisers that I have for the month}. Along the sides of the planner, I use Avery Write-on Tabs to label the months in the planner, so I can quickly flip to those months if needed.
Having the weeks at a glance is also really helpful to me, so I have two pages that lay flat and give me space to track posts and see them laid out weekly. Each post area also has social media reminders for me to check off {Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+}. Sometimes my brain just needs a few added reminders!
There are a few months that need more than 4 weeks of layouts, and for those weeks, I printed a few extra sheets of the weekly layouts, cut them in half, 3 hole-punched them and added them into those months that needed them. 
Toward the back of the blog planner there are planning pages to help you with any additional details you may want to track {and maybe even a few you hadn’t thought of yet!}. Overall, this 66 page blog planner includes:
- 12 month-at-a-glance pages with a monthly focus list
- room to track reviews and giveaways
- space to jot notes and ideas
- weekly post trackers, including social media reminders
- yearly goals and objectives
- monthly website analytics tracker: RSS, Facebook, Twitter, etc…
- a place to keep track of affiliate program info
- a Twitter hashtag tracker {because there are lots!
- Google communities and hangout tracker
- Pinterest Group boards tracker
- Periscope users and scopes to follow tracker
- Instagram hashtag tracker
- weekly blog meme tracker
- mileage sheet {who thought blogging might involve driving?}
- website username & password sheet {I can’t remember them all!}
- and room to jot down all those wonderful post ideas

Thank you! I’ve been looking for something like this. Cute and functional :)
Jolanthe, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is absolutely WONDERFUL. I will be sharing with all of my subscribers :) Bless you for sharing your wonderful God given talents with the body of Christ and fellow homeschoolers :)
This is awesome thanks. I have been trying to keep track of everything in my life in one book but its not working may give this a try.
this is amazing!!!! i am posting it on my blog so that my readers can find you too! :-)
Thanks! I absolutely love it! The colors and everything…I will be using this for sure…
These look great! They certainly tromp my current sticky notes all over the place method. I have been waiting for somebody to offer something like this, and it is a true blessing. Thank you so much!
most welcome. My sticky notes were cracking me up! It worked, but it was time to get something in place that did the ENTIRE job!
Wow! I just downloaded this and I’m so excited! I love how it looks… Kind of reminds me of my Homeschooling planner :)
I wanted to let you and your readers know about a giveaway I’m hosting on my blog. It’s for educational printables from Little Learning Lovies.

Girlfriend, you rock! Love all the extras!!! I will for sure be adding some to my planner next year!!!
if you think of any extras I need to add, let me know. :) I was having so much fun using some of the forms this week. It’s already been super helpful to me!
Thank you for this. I hope that this will help me keep posting regularly on my blog.
I can’t make promises!! :)
What a great planner!! I’m pinning this and printing it now!! Thanks for all your hard work on this and for sharing it with all of us!
That is awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for creating this. I need to ramp up my planning. This will be a great help.
Wow, I was planning to print off a calendar today for some blog planning – I’m so glad I stumbled across this blog post! Thank you for creating it.
thanks
Just what I needed! Thanks for sharing!
I loved watching the progress on this! I need to get it printed out and start using it now!!
This is fantastic! Thank-you! :)
Love this! I think it’s exactly what I’ve been wanting!
I love all the extras! I have one that I’ve been using for the basics such as what posts I have scheduled, upcoming reviews, etc. but I was looking for something that would help remind me of link-ups and social media things and I love the sheets for mileage and expenses. Many thanks! This is going to be so useful for me!!!
So glad to hear that, Sharla. :) Have fun with it!! It’s already helped me a lot!
WOW you dont know how bad I needed this! (God knew..)! Thanks so much Jolanthe!
have fun printing and planning. :)
Bravo!!! I just knew you would have something soon for all of us begging for a Blogging Planer. Thank you, it is just beautiful!
enjoy!
I just downloaded your blog planner. I am looking forward to using this. I get all these ideas in my head, and then loose them :( I was wondering…what is the purpose of using Google Plus? I am still trying to wrap my arms around this social media thing. Why do people use, and how can it benefit my blog? There are so many things to keep track of! I enjoy receiving your posts, and have learned so much. Thanks!
I’m still wrapping my brain around the entire Google+ thing, but essentially it’s another platform to help promote things that you enjoy ~ different audience, etc… and because it’s run by Google {think search engine} it can be really beneficial to helping others ‘find’ things that they are looking for.
Thank you, Jolanthe! i really needed this! :)
Blessings!
Alycia
oh thank you thank you thank you! I needed this so badly!!!
This is just wonderful! I have random blogging organizational tools I’ve put together, but nothing as nice or as comprehensive as this.This is THE best blog organizer I’ve seen! Thank you, if you were here I would hug you!
So glad they will be a help to others too!! :) Have fun using them {and I felt the virtual hug!!}.
Wow! Thanks–you are amazing! I am going to share your site on FB with my home school friends (I am not currently home schooling, but I have a special place in my heart for those who do!)
WOW!!! This is perfect – and cute too!!! Thanks so much for sharing your hard work!!
Thanks so much for offering this pretty, functional planner. Can’t wait to use it!
wow!
i googled some ideas for chore planners (i’m just too lazy to make my own!) and came across this, totally awesome! thank you for sharing it and it being a freebie…though i’d happily have paid for this!!

Thank you so much. This is a great download!

Question:
After I printed and was using the weekly plan sheet, I was wondering what the “SEO:” was that was in the box each day. I’m sure this stands for something, but I can’t seem to figure it out! Could you explain what this is? :)
keywords that I may want to target in searches, etc… for example, this post might be ‘free blog planner’ :)
Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m on several stamping design teams and this is going to make my life so much better.
Enjoy, Deanna! :)
I love how your planner looks and all the it includes. Thanks so much!

Wow! You are amazing to share this wealth of information! I am an aspiring blogger and this will help but me on the right track, from the start! Love it!!

thanks so much Shauna. :)
Thanks so much for this. While I didn’t use everything, I did use quite a few of your printables to make my own blogging binder.
I must have visited this page 20 times before I printed out the planner. I absolutely love it. The only question is, what do you put for SEO?
choose the keywords that you want to use for SEO
This is absolutely amazing – thank you so much!
Holy Toledo! I’ve been sort of a casual when-I-feel-like-it blogger, and I’d really like to step it up this year. I figured I’d have to piece together a plan or create my own. I NEVER expected this! Thank you so much. Very, very cool of you.
I just printed off your blogging planner… I found you at http://www.fabnfree.com/2012/08/30/20-free-printable-blog-planners/ after God revealed to me a desperate need for this valuable resource. I have always maintained my schedule in other simple ways. But times are changing! Your planner had all the main features I needed most and I am looking forward to using it as I seek to be transformed in blogging during 2013. Thank you for this wonderful resource!
God Bless!

I absolutely LOVE your blog planner design!! But, I’m sad that it doesn’t fit my planner. I use the Happy Planner and the pages are too big. Are you able to offer different sizes?
Love this planner, do you have a 2016/7 update?
The current calendar in the file is for 2016/2017. :)
great I must have an old one.
I’ve been trying to update the calendar every year – thanks for the reminder! :)
Hi, I was wondering if you were going to do an updated yearly calendar for the planner. It’s almost the end of January and I still haven’t found it. 2018-2019 is the years. I just love your color scheme and layout so I don’t want to change out my planner. I just need it all to match. Thanks Joy Z.
This is great. I needed something like this.
Thank you!
I need to get this printed now.Lol
Thank you, you are a rock star. I’ve been looking for planners that are either free or cheap and someone recommended your site
enjoy!
Thank you! So pretty and simple.
I loved this! I had moved away from my Google calendar, but now that I am blogging regularly, I probably need to re-visit to save my poor handwritten planner the pain of being scratched and scribbled to death. I love your suggestion about keeping track of brainstorming right in the description- genius!
Thank you for sharing this blog planner! It’s so helpful to have a well-organized tool to keep track of ideas and posts.
Thank you so much for sharing these printables
