Blogging business plan

My free online workshop,46-page workbook + weekly business help you monetize and market your mind you like adult homework and careful planning, this post is for you. If you don’t like adult homework or planning out the details of your blog as a business, then this post is definitely for you. If you currently (or ever plan to in the future) regard your blog as a business, or a way to make money, or grow your platform, or enhance your brand, then creating a blog business plan is essential. You don’t have to write the whole plan in one sitting, and you will find that each section is simpler than it looks. Since you probably take your blog + business pretty seriously, i actually think you’ll enjoy filling out the sections business plan for your blog will accomplish many things. It will:Give you new blog + business ideas as you you take your blog seriously as a you to discover and analyze your growth you to carefully plan the ways to make money from your blog that best fit your you to budget and not you through future decisions for your blog as a you a clear picture of how you will promote + grow your blog may not require each section of this plan; you’ll be the one who determines how much to include. However, if you’re running your blog as a business, each section you write is important and should ideally be completed before you invest a substantial amount of time or money in your business. Thorough blog business plan will help you avoid major obstacles and will guide your decisions unlike any other document. When considering a new idea, upcoming blog post, customer request or suggestion, expansion, marketing opportunity, or any other operational item, you will have this plan to ing a blog and a business without a roadmap can hurt your growth potential or cause your reach to grow more slowly than it could have. Quick tip: i recommend reading through your blog business plan at least once each month. Tip: you can write your blog business plan in any order you wish, and in fact it might be easiest to start with the sections you’re most excited about to get the ideas and energy ad: for your own blank template to copy + paste, then fill out, feel free to use this google : you can also get this epic, free, beautiful workbook version of your business plan—36 pages that you can fill out on your computer or print out to work through—by signing up below!

I’ll also send you a link to a free course on blogging that i have as well as a free 80-page ebook on creating a stellar te side note: you’re so welcome that i found this quick video to help you write your business plan “like a champ. I recommend you keep chanting “the champ is here” as you power through your business plan for your blog. To create a unique wedding look book (during each of the four seasons) for quirky/non-traditional three or more keys (or crucial items) to your blog + business success. Create a following on pinterest that will share and promote our unique brand of “hipster wedding” posts, lookbooks, images, quotes, and humor in a way that will keep us on the minds of people planning quirky, cool weddings. Whereas i used to use huge, bright stickers from moo for my blog topics in a traditional calendar/planner (as pictured below), (and i of course now use the epic blog one-year editorial planner), you may use a digital calendar like normal people. And since your blog is your business, make sure you don’t neglect business tasks, such as accounting, marketing, following up on invoices, providing customer service, and so on. My business tasks go in my planner as the square black & white stickers you can see in the planner image above. 4 guest posting you plan to feature guest posts on your blog from other bloggers/experts, create some general guidelines that you can email out or post on your site to make the process smooth and beneficial for your guests and your blog. Make sure to include any services you plan to offer in the near future so you can start planning for them. 3 affiliates + you plan to use any partner, affiliate, or associate programs (where you make a commission if a reader clicks a link on your site and goes to another site where she purchases something), list them in this section and determine how they fit with your brand and culture. You plan to sell ad space to companies yourself or using a service like adproval, decide which types of ads and organizations will be a good fit for your brand. Wealth of information exists in the form of blog posts (such as this one that details 33 ways to get serious about social media), books, and courses to help you learn how to utilize social media for your blog business. I recommend developing a plan to work on “getting good” at one or two platforms at a time. X additional sections for each social account you’ll or remove other social media accounts to your blog business plan as ’s never too early to begin building an email list. Having a list full of readers and potential clients that have opted in to hear your tips, thoughts, and more, is one of the most valuable things your blog business will have. X guest appearances p a plan for other blogs and websites on which you can make some guest appearances (posts, videos, interviews, quick tips, expert articles, and more). 1 offline seems crazy to even think of offline marketing techniques sometimes when there is so much you can do online, but even though you are promoting a digital space on the interwebs, there are likely still things you can do in real life to promote your brand: business cards, speaking engagements, magazine ads, promotions at related fairs or events, partnerships or sponsorships of activities in your community, and more. Think of at least 3 – 5 things you can try that don’t involve an internet , whether marketing online, offline, or a combination of both, write out a sales plan for each additional item (or categories of items) you decide to sell through your lishing goals is fun. Set some goals for continually learning how to become a better blogger as well as how to grow in your niche/ may come in the form of finding five blogging tips blogs to follow, finding five or more blogs and resource sites in your field to learn from, taking some skillshare classes or other seminars and trainings, or going to school to learn more about a particular e the things you will need to launch your blog business. Some of what you buy will be deductible as a business expense, so you’ll definitely want to keep great records of all your purchases . Hosting fees for large videos or you are operating your blog as a business, you’ll want to possibly develop the habit of forecasting sales. 1 monthly blog your favorite tracking software (google analytics is my current favorite that’s absolutely free), track important statistics and changes in your website’s traffic and visitor s you can print out certain reports each week/month and keep them in a binder with your business plan as an appendix. Again, you don’t want to get sucked up into comparison, but as a business, you’ll need to monitor your blog’s reach and are spectacular for making it through this process. I know this is a lot to do for your blog, but you will be glad you spent the time planning out the ng tips, business and pr tips, creating epic content, how to make money online, make money blogging, online brand strategy, starting a biz. My blog isn’t my business but it’s great to have a resource for a blog business plan. Blogging is such a new industry and writing a business plan might be hard to do when there are so many unknown variables. That’s a good point about it being a relatively new industry and therefore harder to create a business plan for. Unknown variables can sneak up and affect even seasoned bloggers, so i think a great way for a new blogger to avoid as many obstacles as can be is to write out a plan that accounts for some of the stuff above. I’m looking to take my blog to the next level and have it be a business, so this was truly a great read!! You have a great web presence as the starting point for turning the blog into a business.
