Editorial Calendar
Note: Originally published in November of 2009
Back in July of this year I quickly explained what an editorial calendar is, why it’s important, and how to create one with this short video. I’ve been getting a lot more inquiries as to the specifics of it and so today, I present to you, a 17 minute video on creating one step-by-step. I’m eager to hear your thoughts on it in the comments below. By the way, if you would like to get more tips, tricks, and one-on-one advice from me, subscribe to my “Success Tips!” newsletter by inputting your email address in the box below. Enjoy!

Rod, thanks for some absolutely awesome content! I loved the video, especially the part of how to repurpose older content. I also like the idea of posting something light on Friday mornings. I'm wondering if you have considered a future book you are writing: breaking it down into outline form and writing posts that could be future chapters for your book?
You know what? A book is definitely in my evil plans to take over the world. It's really a matter of doing it at the right time. But, I've got some ideas I'm brewing. . . stay tuned sir!
Good one. i love it.
Thank you, Rod. This was very helpful. I just started blogging for my wedding business and this is a great way to plan and stay organized, which is a MUST for me. I also signed up for your weekly newsletter. Wishing you much success!
Thank you for the well wishes, Darlene. I appreciate it. You and I have similar habits, I like to stay organized as well. Do I always stick to the plan? Not all the time, but it still pays to have one to begin with. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Rod,
thank you for the video demo – great information. May I ask what software you used to create/edit it?
Thanks for making this video, so glad I found it. I'm trying to put together a calendar, and seeing what you have done gave me plenty of ideas. I like how you're using the 'tasks' feature in gcal and putting in the article ideas in the notes. Happy to see another Chrome user as well. Cheers.
Sorry for the late reply, Kristin, I use Camtasia Studio 6 which is friggin awesome as you can see. It also lets you do camera in camera with a web cam so you can train and be seen as well. I love it.
Thanks, Seth, I'm glad you found it as well. I like to maximize ever tool that I come across, and until I find something better, G Calendar will have to do. Chrome wasn't my favorite browser when it debuted, but it's come a long way and I'm using it more and more. I'm still a major fan of Firefox, but If I want to get on the net really quickly, I don't hesitate when opening Chrome. Glad to meet you here, stay connected and be sure to share the video with your friends! Thanks!
Rod,
This is a great video and if doesn't get people motivated to use an editorial calendar–I don't know what will! Another, way I like to give life to my old blog posts is by using the LinkedWithin WordPress plugin (http://www.linkwithin.com/). Great advice!
I think this video is a fantastic example of offering useful content to your readers. Its new and fresh and I am glad I watched it! Thanks for letting us see how you do it.
Hey, Seth, thanks for the great comment. It's my goal to produce quality content that really makes a difference. Thanks for watching and be sure to share it with your friends!

Thank you, Jimmy! Having an editorial calendar really gets my creative juices flowing. I highly recommend it for your blog and business.
Great job. This was so helpful. Did you use Camtasia to produce this video? This was exactly what I needed to help me create my own calendar.
Hey, Susan, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. I did use Camtasia, I love the quality video it produces.
