1.  Marketing Calendar–

   Having all your marketing activities in one place on one calendar will help you to see what is going on with your marketing and when things will be happening.  These activities can include your articles, blog posts, webinars, email marketing, social campaigns, e-books, e-course, newsletter, podcast, videos, events, and more.  It’s an easy visual of your marketing activities to keep you organized and consistent:

   Plan out your business blog posts for the week, the month, the year, and schedule it in your CoSchedule calendar, this will help you to stay organized with your content marketing strategy and to see all of your blog posts in one place.  Plus, CoSchedule is integrated with WordPress, so if you have a WordPress website, you will be able to access your calendar in WordPress and when you schedule your blog posts in CoSchedule it is automatically added as a post in WordPress (super cool and efficient)!  You can even create a workflow for each blog post so you don’t miss any of the steps that it takes to create a blog post or you can assign certain blog tasks to different members of your team (ie. copywriter, graphic designer, publisher, etc.), even if you are the one doing all the tasks for each blog posts, the workflow helps to make sure you don’t forget a step!
