I usually do not review products that are not focused on health and wellness but I had to write this piece about this new tool I’ve been using for about a month for blogging. Now I promise I will bring this back to health and happiness so do not go anywhere!

As a blogger, I’ve learned that you have to really focus on taking care of yourself. The best way to do that, is by finding tools that can help you automate as much as possible to free your time. That’s what CoSchedule has done for me. Learn all about it today!

I learned about CoSchedule roughly 6 weeks ago and it has changed my life as a blogger. I’ve increased my efficiency, productivity and gotten major traffic wins for the site. Plus, they have tons of great posts with free advice that I’ve found very helpful. Lets get to it!

What is CoSchedule?

CoSchedule is is an easy drag-and-drop content marketing calendar that allows you to plan, create, and promote your content all in one place. It saves you time and helps you grow your audience through smart marketing plans and efficient team collaboration”.

If you are working as a team of one this is major. One of the challenges I’ve faced as a blogger has been, how do I share my content on social media over time. Short answer the key is CoSchedule!

How Does it Work?

I can show you better than I can tell you. Check out this quick video before I get into my actual calendar.

Awesome Right? If you aren’t doing black flips yet, you are about to my friend.

Using CoSchedule

I used this tool for organizing content, sharing content, and tracking progress. Let me walk you through some of my favorite features.

 

On the home screen you will see a breakdown of your content with most shares, your upcoming tasks and upcoming blog posts. As you can see I got a lot happening in the next few days. The tasks column is awesome for keeping me on schedule. While I do not use the team piece, you can assign tasks to your team members as well.

Here is my editorial calendar. As you can see I have a diverse set of messages going out every day promoting my content. This is one of the major reasons I love this tool. I can share to every single social media platform except instagram (although they recently announce that is on the way)!

Ever wonder how people create amazing SEO friendly titles? Well you do not need to wonder anymore! CoSchedule has a free tool called headline analyzer that rates your titles based on their SEO optimization. This tool is amazeballs and did I mention is free? They have integrated this with the editing content feature and now you can create awesome titles and see your title history for each post. This is great for promoting.

The Social Template feature alone merits getting this tool. Here You can decide how often you want to promote individual posts. Yes! You can create a template for new posts and share them for the period of time you decide. How freaking awesome is that? See it in action! The best part? CoSchedule will decide for you, when is the best time to share your post. That’s right! Say goodbye to the days when you had to figure out the best posting times for each social media platform!

As a blogger you know analytics are life! CoSchedule integrates with bitly and google analytics great to get a better picture of how your content is performing. They also integrate with evernote but I don’t use that tool.

What has this amazing tool done for me?

It has changed the game! I am much more strategic, my content is consistently promoted and I am saving a lot of time! They aren’t joking. You will get your time back. I’ve been using my extra time to create new content, focus on getting to know my audience better and I even have time to get back to pole dancing. *Que dance music*

As a blogger, I’ve learned that you have to really focus on taking care of yourself. The best way to do that, is by finding tools that can help you automate as much as possible to free your time.
