Free Blog Planner Printables

Over the past six months or so I've decided to start blogging but I wanted some way to keep my ideas and blog info organized. Being a planner addict I figured what better way than a blog planner. I searched the web and local stores for some sort of planner I could convert to a blog planner but couldn't find anything that would suit my needs. Then I looked into planner printables and found a ton. I saved some of my favorites and when I went back to decide on one, I still couldn't find one that had everything I wanted in it. I wanted something colorful, so I would be drawn to use it, a monthly calendar, weekly plan pages, note pages and trackers. This is what I came up with.

I ended up with three different planners that had all the properties I wanted, so I took bits and pieces from each one and created what I wanted out of a blog planner.

I definitely wanted a year at a glance. So I printed one on the back of the cover on cardstock.

Next came an undated monthly calendar. I wanted undated so I could use it year after year without having to find a new printable since I really love the design of this one. Another great attribute to this one is the focus for the month at the bottom.

Then came the weekly plan pages from a completely different set of printables. I especially like this one because it's undated, there's room for three post ideas a week, a to do list, weekly stats and room for future ideas. This works for me because this is pretty much my weekly plan schedule anyway.

This is one of my favorite pages also. Here again I have a notes section with a contact check list. There is room for my three weekly posts and info on each with check boxes to make sure the images and links are done and also doubles for giveaways.

The next page is for my extra info. Here, I can track my weekly or monthly stats, websites & inspirations, tweets, pinterest and again....more note space.

This page is strictly dedicated to notes. Yes, I like plenty of room to jot down ideas and scribble them out if I like. This is were I can do that and then put my final ideas on the previous pages. I created five sets of these pages, printed double sided, for each month. I know each month doesn't have five weeks but I don't like my months to run over to the next week.

In the back of my planner I printed one double sided Income/Expense page. We all know it's going to cost something to keep a blog running especially if you have giveaways and possibly can make some money from it one day.

After the Income page, I printed another double sided giveaways page. With six spaces on one side that gives me enough room to track one giveaway a month for the whole year, which is what I'm planning. Each section lets me track what I'm giving away, start and stop dates, the cost, the winner and so forth.

The Website Analytics page allows me to have an overview of all my stats at the end of the year.

And lastly, is the Website & Blog password tracker. I don't know about everyone else but I can't remember my login and passwords for every site I go to, so I thought this would be handy to have at the very end. I gathered all these pages and put them in the order I wanted them and had them bound at Office Max with a clear frosted front cover and black vinyl back for around $5.00. I like the spiral binding they do because it lays flat when it's open and I can fold it back on itself and use one page at a time.

Now, as I wish I could take credit for fully designing this planner, I can't, I'm not that talented. As I found all the printables I was choosing from these three were my favorites and came from different blogs from ladies who were gracious enough to have free downloads. The majority of my planner came from Jolenthe at Home School Creations and can be downloaded here. My weekly plan pages came from Beckie at Infarrantly Creative and can be downloaded here. The extra info, giveaways, and brainstorming pages came from Confessions of a Homeschooler and can be downloaded here. These are extremely talented women and have wonderful blogs that are definitely worth checking out. Each planner is great all on it's own but just works better for me all put together.
