About 6 months ago, Lynsey and I realized we needed to create a blogging planner. She is extremely organized and has planners, but non fit her very specific needs as a blogger. I, on the other hand, am very disorganized and have post its and paper notes and randomly written “due dates” all over my office. In both ways we were failing. So we embarked out to figure out what we found we needed the most in a day, week, and month while running our blogs and after many (MANY) revisions, I am her to share with you a blogging planner that will make your life that much more simple.
Introducing the
BLOGGING SUCCESS PLANNER
No matter if you are a professional blogger or just starting out, this planner will help you get organized with every unique deadline a blogger has during the month. Goal sheets, post inspiration spots, weekly upkeep, monthly planning, PR contacts, brand events, and blog conferences, all of your blog commitments go in this one easy to use planner that comes in an Executive or Travel size. You can also sign up to be an affiliate and share the blog planner with bloggers you know and make a little bit of cash for doing so!
Why a handwritten planner over an iphone or electronic calender?
Many people really need to write things down. We have become so accustomed to doing things electronically, sometimes it doesn’t actually do what it is supposed to…remind us. We set it and forget it. Then due dates come and go and we slap ourselves in the head. A true planner works for you. It allows you to have brainstorming sessions, future upkeep, deadlines, passwords, brand event information..basically all of it in one easy to use booklet. Plus, you get to use a highlighter and who doesn’t want that?
What sizes?
Lynsey and I battled over the sizing of the blog planner from day 1. I am a big book kinda girl and she is a travel on the go kinda girl. So..we made both! You can see more about the exact sizes here but here is a comparison shot if it helps:
I want to know what it offers..
Sure! You can read all about the specific pages here and we are adding new pictures this week!
I made a video showing the planners, please excuse my hair and all that jazz, but it was just for this post.
If you are interested in learning more, this video may help.
Now we are so excited about our planner that we want to give one away! So feel free to enter into the first ever
BLOGGING SUCCESS PLANNER GIVEAWAY
(Rafflecopter load, may take one moment to show)

Thank you Trisha! So excited I won! Sending email over now. Can’t wait to put your Blogging Success Planner to good use.
I like the bigger sized planner, I’m not a very small writer & I think it would suit me better. Thanks for a great giveaway!
when I moved, I somehow left my whiteboard behind, and I”m finding myself forgetting about a few posts here and there. I REALLY need to get more organized!
http://www.betweenthekids.com
I would love the big one! I find that I’m having trouble fitting enough info on the small size!!!! Thank you!
I would LOVE the bigger size. I am switching to WordPress from Blogger in August and could really use an all inclusive planner! Organization is not a strong suit of mine, and your planner looks like just the thing I need!
I would love the “big” planner. I’m amping up my blogging and this will definitely help me get organized and get cracking!
I would love the executive size!
I need a blog planner because I’m taking it to the next level and organization is a key.
Ooops, forgot http://debi1998.blogspot.com Thanks
The biggest one there is. That is my problem now, that I have too many small ones.
I would love a better way to organize all thing for my blog right now I just use a notebook. My blog is SavingformyFamily.com
My blog is http://MommyTalkShow.com and I’m trying to grow the influence of my blog (nationally and locally in Atlanta). I’m horrible at organizing my life and my blog. I’ve been winging it for far too long.
I would like travel size so I can carry it in my purse
I see the travel size in my future so I can carry it everywhere, especially when I’m waiting at a doc’s office, etc. If I don’t win, I’m definitely buying this. I keep a daily task notebook with absolutely NO organization
I will choose the executive size when I win.
I would love to win this blogging organizer so that I can keep track of all of the ideas that I have for blog posts.
I have blog ideas all over the place and need to get organized in one place. My blog name: http://www.livinglavidanormal.com
I think both sizes have merit but considering I do the majority of blogging and thinking about blogging at home the larger size would work well for me.
I would like the bigger the better! This way the kids wont try to lose it for me:)
I am desperate to have some organization in my life- starting with my blog!
Love the Idea!!
Hugs, jen @ http://www.frazzled

Love the Idea!!

I need a blog planner to use as another great resource for my blogging schedule. I have purchased one but if I win this one, I will be hosting a really big giveaway!
Thanks for the chance.
Blog name: Simple Savings For ATL Moms
If I were to win, I would create a giveaway for another blogger to win the organizer!
One word…. UNORGANIZED!!
Totally! I mean I try, I’ve done online things to keep organized, used my phone, it just doesn’t work. I used to be so much more organized when I used my planner, your right, some people ust have to write things down, but I don’t have my favorite planner anymore cause they don’t make it
so now I need a new one. A Wrestling Addicted Mommy would love to be an ORGANIZED Mommy!
I love the larger size, but I do like the travel size too, I think I’d need both LOL but if I have to choose I’d say the larger, i write really big and it might look a bit less messy in a larger format.
I LOVE planners!! I am an organizer by nature and have been searching for a planner to keep my blogging business organized. I think this one might be what I’ve been looking for!
I’m a big book kinda girl too! I love scribbling notes in margins and have big handwriting. Travel sized planners just don’t work well for me.
I blog at The Attic Girl and I need a planner b/c I sign up for events and forget to write them down. Or if I do write them down, I write them on a list of paper that I usually end up losing.
I’d like the executive/larger size! Such an awesome way to keep organized. I have mommy-brain so I need it!
Even if I don’t win the contest, Imma still get one of these. Very nice!
I need one to keep me organized…right now I have like lists everywhere…I need ONE place!
Crunchy Beach Mama
I think I would choose the executive…the more notes the better!
I need a planner to be me on task! I need to better manage my time and my blog – http://onescrappymom.com
It’s hard to say. I think I would go with the larger one. The smaller one would be easier for toting, but I tend o add notes every where to everything so the extra space is probably a good thing!
i’m relatively new at blogging and would really love to get more serious, and organized with my blog! since i’ve got two little ones and work full time, i think the travel size would be awesome. thanks for hosting this giveaway!!
I have horrible ADD so it really helps to have a planner. Making notes is the only way I can remember to do things. Having it all in one place would make blogging so much easier for me!
Blog Name: Well-Read Reviews
I have “larger” handwriting and prefer bigger books to write in. I think it’s awesome that you offer two sizes! The 8.5×11 would be the size for me, though.
I need this because I do so many reviews/giveaways (Shop with Me Mama), it is a necessity to have EVERYTHING written down! If I forget to write down one thing, it could be bad!
Definitely the big book one! I write big
I need one because I get ideas of what to blog – but then sometimes i forget. I put it online, but then never check! I need something that is pen and paper – as I used to have tons of post it notes all over my desk with post ideas and when I wanted to do them.
I hate not being organized, and with a baby coming, I could use the help getting organized – as I want to have posts already ready to go while I’m occupied with a new baby.
Thanks!!
I would LOVE a large one! I’m a big book kinda gal too!
In addition to running several different blogs I’m a contributor at a few others so I desperately need this blogging planner!
I’m love to have the large one
My “blog,” (which I write in quotes because you can’t officially call it that yet since I haven’t posted) has just been set up. The blog’s name is ramsaygrace@blogspot.com. Winning a blog planner would be FANTASTIC, and a TREMENDOUS help to someone like me….just starting out. Thank you for this opportunity to enter!
I’m JUST setting up my blog, so this couldn’t come at a more perfect time. Thanks for the chance to win! I’d LOVE the biggest size you have.
I would love the travel size. Perfect to fit in my purse for ideas on the go!
I would love this because I’m always loosing the papers I try to write a blogging schedule out on.
I NEED this because I have due dates for posts I need to keep track of and payments I need to record come tax time! My site is: Mama Luvs Books ~ and I would LOVE to WIN this!!!
I want the biggest one they have!
I think the travel size would be super handy!
I would love the 8.5 x 11 size, thanks for the chance to win!
I need one because I have one online – but a pen and paper one is more my style, honestly.
My blog name is Good Girl Gone Redneck. :>
I would love the smaller one: 8.5 x 5.5
I’ve been looking at how to organize how my blog stuff into one area. This is the perfect solution for me. I love to write things down in a notebook, but I have about 5 notebooks where I’ve randomly been writing blogging notes in. So this is why I need one =)
I would love the 8.5 x 11 size
I’d love the large one…or the small one…I can’t make up my mind. Ummm the small one, I think
I’d love to get my hands on this! I’ve tried several different blog planner formats and so far I haven’t found the right fit.
When I first saw this, I thought the small one would work for me–so I could carry it in my purse. Unfortunately, I tend to carry everything in my purse (ok, its more of a suitcase/briefcase than an actual purse). I actually have the small sized one right now and am really loving it!
I just think that the larger size would work better for me, because I could find it better in my bag (I also have Lynsey’s other planner for business, and get the 2 mixed up). As soon as I got my business planner, I blogged about it; I’m almost done with the post for my Blog planner that I received this week (but I still want the larger size!)
I would love to win the larger one–that way there’s tons of room to write EVERYTHING down!
I would LOVE a blog planner! I am relatively new to blogging and a blog planner will be perfect for me!!!
I think the big book size will be perfect, more room for brainstorming!!!
Awesome idea!
I would like the executive size!!!
I would love to have this! The Executive size, since I am so blind LOL!!!
I have one of these, but would love to win a new one for when this one is completed!
I just started blogging last month and this planner would be a great complement to he me sort it all out. I didn’t realize there was more to blogging than writing. There is SO much planning involved.
This is so cool. I would love to have a Executive size.
I need a planner specifically for blogging. I have tried a couple of different planners but none of them have been the ‘perfect’ planner thus far. I would use it to stay organized at 31 Days Early I Rise.
I think I would like the executive size, because that would force me to sit down and work my planner. Plus it wouldn’t be the same size as my personal planner so it would stick out like a sore thumb beckoning me to give it attention.
I printed a calendar yesterday. Tried to plan my blog activities for the month, jot down writing ideas, and tasks, and it ended up looking like a puzzle. Not helpful. I’m a big book girl so I would want the Executive Size.
I am just planning my blog right now, and this would be soooo incredibly helpful to me!
Oh yes, why I need a blog planner… I keep meaning to blog about so much but have notes and ideas scattered everywhere. I want to focus and get my blog sorted as I want to write about more than just my photography business. I am passionate about pregnancy, birth, children and mothers as well as women and women’s rights. I want to write more about issues we’re confronting and confronted with and I want to share our wins as well. But right now I often wind up simply sharing some images because I’m always stealing moments to get some blogging done. with some planning I think I could do it!
What a great idea! Tempted by the larger size but definitely could use the travel planner! Woohoo!
I need a blog planner so I can have a planner JUST for the blog. I’ve tried to combine blog planning with my day to day planner and when you have four kids, all with appointments on top of your own, it just doesn’t work too well and ends up MORE disorganized. I am trying to expand For The Love of Baby! so any help I can get to lay things out I can definitely use.
I’d pick the Executive Size
I blogged about the Blogging Success Planner. http://www.resourcefulblogger.com/the-blogging-success-planner/
I need one because, at Small Steps On Our Journey, (www.smallstepsonourjourney.com), I’m always coming up with new posts and need a way to schedule them. I also have a second job as a writer for a magazine’s website, and need to stay on top of my 3x/week posts there, too.
Travel size for me! This would be super helpful for me – I write everything on my home calender, and schedule it on my phone, but it gets to be a bit much sometimes.
I need this for sooo many reasons, but the biggest one being that I am totally unorganized, and I am a bit of a scatterbrain at times. More often then I like to admit, I have forgotten about deadlines or remembered with just hours to go. This would be super helpful at getting me organized and increasing my productivity. Thanks for the chance!!
(MomVantage.net)
I would love the full sized planner!! It looks AWESOME!!
I’d love to win this to stay organized much, much better. This would really come in handy for my To the Motherhood blog.
I’d love to win the Executive Size.
I’m in the midst of rebranding as Mile A Minute Mama & could really use this to keep all things straight from the jump. I’m not organized & I think this planner really meets the needs I have and would be an awesome help!
I want the travel size so I can keep up with it better. I LOVE the layout & set up of it.
I like the BIG planner
Organization is my downfall lol. Creativelyb is taking off thankfully but I always feel like I forget to get a giveaway up or review is late and it irritates me since my notes walk off it seems.
I always use a planner to keep my ideas and tasks organized and with in easy reach.
I’m definitely a big book girl so the Executive Size, Blog Planner would work best.
I am a big book type of gal also so I’d love the bigger one!
I LOVE this idea!
I would like the travel size planner
I need a planner because my spreadsheet is great, but not something I can take with me everywhere. I need something portable (even though I want the big one)!
I would like the full size planner
I love to stay organized, but it’s really hard for me to come up with a system and stick with it, when it comes to blogging. I could really use this!
I like the Executive size.
I’d love to try a paper system. I thought about making my own for a while now.
I’d want the big one if I won.
P.S. My blog is Reel Mama
I think this is an amazing organizational tool. Every blogger needs this at her fingertips!
This is a tough call–but I have to say I think I’d choose the large! What a fantastic idea. I really need this. Writing ideas on Post-It notes, scraps of paper, and yes, even napkins or receipts just doesn’t cut it!
I wanted to Pin this on my Giveaways Galore board, but I couldn’t get your Pin It to work. http://pinterest.com/barbaralplatt/giveaways-galore/
If I know your Pinterest name I can add your name and you can Pin it yourself.
I will try to send you an invitation in case you don’t have one yet.
Excellent Idea!
Like you stated, the sheer number of actions one has to undertake to keep a blog of this kind up and running could be overwhelming. Organizing them in this way is a great way to stay on top of things. Great initiative!
I am so disorganized. I have a ton going on with my blog, but with my health issues I am always behind. I wish I had a helper. But, at least with this, maybe it would help me a little.
Barbara’s Beat
Executive Size, Blog Planner
Full-size please!
Great idea! I have little slips of paper EVERYWHERE!
I need a blog planner just to keep everything straight on Southern Yankee Mix (http://southernyankeemix.com). It gets hard to keep track of *everything* that goes into making a blog run well. I’m excited to see a planner made by people who know the ins-and-outs of what we do everyday. Plus, when you have more than one blog it gets even more confusing, LOL.
I use the home calander and it is too much
I would love the Travel Size
I would choose the larger planner.
My blog is Read. Write. Mom! and I need a blogging planner because I am SO disorganized at the moment. I haven’t found any planner that will keep up with everything I need as a blogger.
I need a blog planner because I am incredibly disorganized. I don’t even write anything down as far as a blog schedule and when posts are due, etc. I just keep a list in my head. And yeah, we all know how well that works.
Its a tough choice but I thin I would go with the full size.
I need a blog planner for my MommieDaze blog so I can keep track of my editorial calender. It’s so disorganized right now. I meant Lindsey recently on a blogger trip and she told us about the planner. So excited to use it!
I’d like the large executive size.
I need a blog planner because now that I’m working to blog full-time and getting more sponsored posts, keeping deadlines is a must.
Blog – The Thriftynistas
I’m a big book kind of gal too! LOL!
I’d love to win the larger executive planner
I like the executive size. I need this so bad. It is amazing!
I’m a big planner fan. I have a BlueSky one I got at Target, but ever since I saw you mention this planner, I’ve wanted one! I wish I had thought to make it myself
Thanks for the chance to win one!
I need a blog planner to help me organize. I’m currently using my email inbox folders to keep track of everything. Not the best idea. I would love to have everything in one place in a planner!
I would love the Executive Planner, I have messy writing and need the larger pages to scrawl all over!
I need a blog planner because I have more than one blog. Having things in one spot would go a long, long way for my organization. But I need to get my personal blog at BusyMomma.com and my cooking blog at OnceAWeekCooking.com coordinated the most.
I’m a big book girl as well. It would have to be the executive so I have lots of room for notes and doodles.
I’d love to win the executive size. Since I don’t have a laptop I think that would be best to keep next to my desktop lol.
I’m really in between the two, and while the travel size seems more convenient, I’d realistically make more use of the bigger one and tote it around if necessary.
I need a blog planner to keep up with PR contacts and income produced from my blog. I’ve been receiving more opportunities lately and I want one place to keep track of everything. It will make tax time a little easier too
If I win, I’d like an Executive size planner – I write big too
My dad always said I had pregnant writing…nice huh?
I need a blog planner because I am both a blogger and a sahm and I need to be able to keep my blogging life organized and my phone planner doesn’t cut it
I am torn which one I would prefer…probably the executive one.
While I love my technology, I much prefer to use a paper planner to keep things organized. This way everyone in my house can easily glance at it and be in the know.
I guess I’m “old fashion” but I use good ole’ paper and pen to keep track of everything already. This planner would be even more organization for me!!
I would love the bigger one!!
I need one to keep track of everything – when posts are due and what posts are coming up & definitely contacts & events! My blog is Toddling Around Chicagoland – http://www.toddlingaroundchicagoland.com
I think I’d prefer the travel size.
I need a blogging planner because, like everyone else here, organizing is a pretty hard thing to do when you’ve got kids, deadlines and event planning – without the right stuff.
This blogging planner is amazing and something I could definitely use for Blogfully.net
Thanks for the chance to win!
It’s a toss between the two really because I love them both. I like the mini because I can take it with me where I go, but I love the big one because, like you Tricia, I like the bigger end of things.
Would love to win!!!
I need the executive size! I’m a big planner kind of girl, too!
I just went out an bought a planner so I could keep track of all the great opportunities at Momdot as well as all the affiliates and ads I am now running. You know, it just doesn’t cut it! I need something JUST for my BLOG, Virtually Yours at http://www.kellystilwell.com! What a brilliant idea! (Wish I had thought of it!)
These look awesome! Last year around tax time was a nightmare for me. It would be great to have everything together in one spot this time around. Also, love the page for remembering passwords.
I need a blogging planner because I need all the help keeping organized that I can get! It’s difficult to keep up with all the reviews and posts I have due at moodymamasays.com. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would choose the Executive size.
My blog is The Shewbridges of Central Florida and iI am trying to expand it to make myself better known to more people and this would definitely help.
I would definitely LOVE the travel size… I’m like Lynsey, I take my book with me everywhere. I can’t live without it. =)
If you could see my desk now you would be able to see why I need it! I only started blogging since April and have so much paperwork already I can’t imagine how bloggers that have been blogging for years stay organized. My problem is I write down the information I need then when I try to find it I can’t locate it. Now what good is that doing me? It’s not! Uggg… SO frustrating. I think the Blogging Planner would help me to store all the information I need as a blogger and then ta da!! The magic…. I would be able to find it. My website is Resourceful Blogger.com. ( http://www.resourcefulblogger.com ) Thanks so much for inventing a product that will help meet the needs of bloggers.
The Executive size! I need a lot of room for my notes. Right now I use a 3 ring binder and would love to win the Blogging Planner to help me stay organized!
I think I’d like the Executive size – bigger is better.
I need it because I am a scatterbrain!!! Seriously! NotSoAverageMama.com
I would want the BIG ONE! I think it will be much easier to find!
I’m with you, I’m an executive size kind of girl.
I have been searching for something to use to get me more organized. YellowTennessee.com is getting busy and I can’t keep up.
I would need it to keep track of the reviews and giveaways I have going on for Shawn Ann’s World (http://shawnann.com) along with keeping track of advertising and everything else blog related!
I’d probably get the Executive, although a travel would be nice! I’d probably go for the Executive though!
I would definitely want to win the Executive size : )
I need one of these so I can stop covering my desk in post-it notes!
I need a blog planner to help keep track of what is due & WHEN at itsgravybaby.com.
I would go for the executive.
Travel size please
I’m torn, I think both sizes are awesome but I think I’d use the executive size more often just because I write big.
I need a Blogging Planner because I have little notes everywhere!
oops, forgot to put my blog name: Fabgrandma
I am forever coming up with ideas in my head late at night and by the time I wake up in the morning they are gone. I’d love to be able to just grab a planner & write my ideas down so they wont be completely forgotten. Also I am horrible, absolutely horrible at planning content for my blog Shanamama.com
If I win, I would want the travel size planner.
I have big purses and tend to loose small items so I would want the Executive size.
I can’t tell you how many times I have tried to create something like this for planning blog posts and related tweets, likes, etc. Thank you! I hope to win one – the small one would be ideal for my crazy posting schedule!
I would like the small size.
I need a blog planner because Brian and I both write at Simply Budgeted so a planner is the only way we keep track of who is doing what posts and when!
-Simply Budgeted
I would like the bigger size.
I need to get much more organized so that I can take my blogging to the level I would like to achieve.
I would pick the travel size!
I can’t always stay on track with all my posts, etc. on Life with Lisa
I’d love the executive!
Love this…I have actually been promoting it everywhere…awesome!
i would actually like the large one!
My blog is The Life of a Home Mom and now that I am finally done with college I want to spend tons of time shaping it back up before it went to the back burner. I want to do reviews, interviews, post certain topics on certain days and remember, live chats with a schedule and giveaways. Basically I need something to look at to remember everything I want to do and this looks like it would help.
I like both sizes but if I must choose one I’m going for the executive size because I write big.
My sample size that I got at Brandcation will run out at the end of October. I need one to keep me organized!!
Frosted Fingers is my blog
I would like to win the executive size
