For the last regular post before Blogmas starts I wanted to share my top tips for planning for Blogmas and how I plan it.
PLAN AHEAD
The biggest tip I can give for planning for a series as busy as Blogmas is to make a plan way in advance. As crazy as it sounds I started jotting ideas of down around August (maybe even earlier) this will be way too early for some people however I like to have a rough guide of posts I wanna write over a space of 4-6 months.
WRITE AHEAD
Although I plan my content months in advance I will usually wait until closer to the time of posting to write the post. I usually start writing a plan for a post around a month before the post goes up, this is so I have the bare bones of the post I wanna write and am then able to go back closer to the time and edit it. Having something written out already that just needs adding to is incredibly helpful, especially when you know you won't have alot of time.
DON'T DO TOO MUCH
Another tip is to really think about how much you can handle and the kind of time you have. Everybody is different and the best thing to do is to work out what will work best for you. If you want to share a post everyday go for it, if that's too much, post every 2 days, a few times a week or even once a week.
DON'T PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOURSELF
No matter how regularly you choose to post this Blogmas don't put too much pressure on yourself. The whole idea of Blogmas is to have some festive fun and share it with your readers. Don't put yourself down if you miss a post or are unable to post as much as someone else.
WRITE & PHOTOGRAPH IN BULK
Writing posts and taking photos in bulk can be very time consuming however you can also get ALOT done in one sitting which is great for those who don't have much spare time in their day. I usually spend one of my days off bulk writing posts for the upcoming month and the other day getting pictures for both blog posts and Instagram content.
