Back in October I participated in a month long blogahead challenge hosted by Anna over at Herding Cats and Burning Soup. It was a great push to get posts scheduled ahead of time. Since then I have managed to keep 15 - 20 posts ahead of time. Anna is once again hosting a blogahead challenge, this time it will be a mini challenge. Please check out her post for the rules and link up.
Our goal is to schedule an additional 14 posts in this two week time period. Currently I have 18 posts scheduled so my goal will be to have 32 posts scheduled by the 15th of May. This is going to be a difficult challenge since next week is Children's book week and there will be 3 posts a day going live, that is a lot of posts to make up for! The good thing about this challenge is that I have a little vacation coming up and this will help me make sure everything here is good to go while I am gone.
I will be posting my updates here so you can follow my progress.
Update #1: May 4th 1:30pm
Starting Scheduled Posts: 18
Posts that went Live: 7
Posts Scheduled: 23
Current Scheduled Posts: 34
Goal for next update: schedule 8 posts
Thoughts: Thankfully I have had plenty of content and reviews to post so far. I started with 18 posts and 7 went live since signing up. I managed to schedule 23 posts and get to the point I want to reach at the end of this two weeks. In order to maintain that goal I need to schedule at least 3 posts a day, Yikes! I have enough content for at least a couple more days of scheduling and then I really have to get to work!

Ooo good luck!! Whew! yes that is going to be quite the challenge with so many going live this week. You can do it though I'm sure :D
ReplyDeleteI am working hard, I am trying to get at least 10 to 15 scheduled today so that it won't be so overwhelming next week when all of them start going live.
DeleteSeriously?! I'm so impressed. I have two posts scheduled...two. And I was all proud. You rock.
ReplyDeleteI am a planner so if I am not scheduled ahead I start to panic, which of course leads to a lot of unnecessary stress.
