Blog Post Writing Checklist Free Printable!

I was sick and tired of trying to remember everything that I wanted to do for each blog post that I wrote! There is so much that goes into a blog post that I don’t think that most readers realize! There is making the project, taking the photos, editing the photos, writing the post, amping up the post, and sharing the post and frankly, sometimes it is easy to forget what you have and haven’t done for each post. I decided to ask some of my blogging besties what they would want in a checklist for each blog post and they had some great suggestions! I took those suggestions and created blog post writing checklist that is free for you to print out and use for yourself too!

Isn’t it pretty?! Now to talk details… There are sections for before, during, and after the blog post is written. Before, you need to take specific pictures of your project/subject. You also need to edit those photos and add watermarks to them. You should also be researching what SEO keywords to use while naming your photos and what SEO keywords to use in your blog post. During your post, you need to truncate (if you do that), add a name to the photos, add “no follow” links on paid posts, label you post, add keywords, check for typos, and link back to any similar posts that you have done in the past. As for after your post, you need to add the pin it button if you don’t already have it, share on social media outlets, share with brands that would be interested, link up to link parties, and share with feature sites. I left open spots to name the specific feature sites you want to share with.

 

I was sure to leave plenty of open space so that you can really personalize this list for your blog. Obviously we all have different blogs so some feature sites are better for some people, while others are better for other people and some bloggers may need to do more before, during, and after the blog post. It is made for you to customize! I hope this can help you as much as it helps me!
