Organize, Schedule, and Manage Your Marketing with the Marketing Calendar by CoSchedule

If you have a desire to be more consistent with your marketing this year, then you definitely need this tool to help you organize, manage and schedule your marketing so you can be more consistent!

CoSchedule allows you to organize all of your marketing in one place and from any place! I have been using CoSchedule since 2015. I first found out about it when I was looking for a content calendar to manage my content marketing. After doing some research, my business coach at the time shared CoSchedule with me and I downloaded their free content marketing template and have been hooked ever since.

Now, CoSchedule is a part of the daily suite of online tools that I use to run my business. So why is CoSchedule the BEST Online Marketing Calendar?

Organize

It helps you to stay organized, and I’m all about being organized.

See All of Your Marketing in One Place

With the CoSchedule’s Online Marketing Calendar, you are able to see both your online and offline marketing all in one place. Whether it’s your WordPress blog post, Facebook post, Instagram post, LinkedIn post, Webinar, a Marketing Event or Email, it all shows up in one calendar for you to manage and see all of your marketing activities in one place. You can use color codes to easily identify key activities in a glance.

Use a specific color for your social media posts, use a different color for your emails, and another color for your blog posts. Doing this makes it easy to see your activity in one glance and know what you are doing on a monthly basis.

CoSchedule also gives you the ability to actually integrate to the tools you use to market your business, so you can automatically see the activity on your marketing calendar. For example, when I schedule an email in my email service provider, ActiveCampaign, it automatically shows up as an email marketing activity in my CoSchedule Calendar, or if I post a new blog on my WordPress website, the blog post automatically shows up in my CoSchedule Calendar. The integration with your everyday tools makes it easy to see and track your marketing all in one place.

Manage

You can manage your marketing by managing your marketing projects, teams, tasks all in one place.

Share Your Marketing from One Place

CoSchedule is a great tool to share your marketing tasks with others. Whether it’s your internal marketing support team or if you’re a solopreneur with an outsource Online Business Manager or Virtual Assistant, you are able to share all the marketing tasks, projects, and responsibilities in one place. Everyone is on the same page for the marketing activity for the week, month, or even the year.

You can also build engagement and repurpose your content by automatically sharing your evergreen social messages at the best times and republishing your top-performing messages by using the ReQueue feature of the CoSchedule Calendar. It automatically reschedules your evergreen social media content.

 

Schedule

Schedule All Your Marketing in One Place

There are so many great features and uses for CoSchedule, but the most important is that if you want to get results from your marketing you need to plan and be organized and CoSchedule allows you to do both.

In fact, I like CoSchedule so much, that I’m also an affiliate, so if you’re interested in learning more about CoSchedule, be sure to click here or click on the logo below to sign-up.

The Power of Scheduling

Last week I shared about the power of waiting, if you didn’t read that post be sure to check it out.  I shared five reasons why waiting is powerful, so it may seem contradictory to now write about the power of scheduling. But here is the thing, just because you’re waiting for something to manifest (goals, dreams, visions) doesn’t mean you don’t plan and prepare for the things to arrive, and included in planning is the powerful step of scheduling!  

I heard a quote from Marie Forleo that says “If it’s not scheduled it’s not real.” So, on this journey to achieving all that God has placed in our heart to achieve, we must do our part to accomplish our goals by writing the vision and making it plain and then scheduling the activity and taking Spirit-led action!  

Here are 3 reasons why scheduling things is powerful:

1. Consistency

One of the biggest struggles I hear from people when it comes to marketing and promoting their business is the struggle of staying consistent.  A GREAT way to stay consistent with the marketing activity for your business is to schedule it! If you have a Marketing Calendar and you schedule out your marketing activity on your marketing calendar, you will stay consistent with taking the action needed to market your business.  

2. Commitment

If you really want to be committed to consistently marketing and promoting your business then having a marketing schedule will help you to be committed to your marketing.  Last year when I surveyed my audience and asked how many people want to market and promote their business for the new year, 100% of the survey respondents said “Yes!”.  However, when I asked how many people have a marketing plan and schedule, 95% said they do not have one.  Having a plan and schedule shows that you are committed to achieving your business goals and have committed to a schedule to make your dreams a reality.  

3. Organization

A large percentage of marketing overwhelm comes from not being organized.  Having a set marketing schedule allows you to be organized and avoid overwhelm.  I recommend the CoSchedule Marketing Calendar as it helps you organize ALL of the marketing in one place.  I’ve used it for years and it helps me to stay organized when it comes to scheduling all of my marketing activities.
