Good morning fellow bloggers! If you’re looking for a colorful, and complete blog planner, look no further. It’s that time of year again… and the new 2015 Blog Planner has arrived! YAY!
And it’s FREE! Double YAY!
And also, what the heck?
Where did 2014 go? Has anyone seen it?
I must’ve been busy homeschooling, because I think I missed it.
Thankfully I filled out my 2014 Blog Planner, so I can look back and see that I actually did do some serious blogging this year, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
So if you’re ready to get going for the new year, keep reading!

As you can see I went with the calendar layout for this planner and added some extra info on the opposing page. It includes Monthly Statistics, websites and inspiration, post ideas and notes, tweets, pinterest pins, and additional notes.
Print & Assemble:
After downloading, I print the planner double-sided by printing the odd pages starting with page 1. Then flip the pages and print the even pages on the backs.
I print on a light weight cardstock, just to give the planner a little more durability. It also keeps the ink from bleeding through when writing on both sides.
Next take the printed sheets to your Office Supply store and have them spiral bind it. I spent about $3.50 for the coil and a clear front cover and white back cover for my planner. This just makes it more durable and holds it together beautifully!
The Insides:
Each month has statistic sheets as well as a monthly view layout where you can list all of your blog posts. If you print double sided like I suggest, you’ll end up with your monthly calendar on one side and the notes and other information for that month on the opposing side.
This new planner also includes several pages for giveaways & reviews…
Blog advertisers and sponsors…
![IMG_9165web_thumb[1]](/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/IMG_9165web_thumb1.jpg "IMG_9165web_thumb[1]")
And pages at the back for general brainstorming and note taking.

Weekly Blog Planner:
For those of you who prefer a weekly view, I also have a free weekly blog planner here.
As you can see if you print the planner front to back, you’ll end up with your weekly calendar on one side and the monthly notes and other information on the opposing side.
I hope you enjoy this planner, as always feel free to send improvements and suggestions to me via email. I can’t promise I’ll be able to attend to all requests, but if it is something that would be useful to most bloggers I will do my best to update the planner!
Happy blogging everyone!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was just thinking about your blog planner in the night and wondered when you might be sharing it! What a wonderful surprise to open up my web browser this morning and there is was!

Hi Jana,
Blogging is what I do, and what you’re reading :o) I write blog posts to share ideas, information, and encouragement. People can start a blog for any number of reasons, some just start blogging to share their daily lives with friends and family, so it’s quite versatile. Anyway, the planner is for bloggers and it’s a way for them to keep track of their posts, write down ideas, keep track of statistics, advertisers, giveaways, etc. :o)
I hope that helps, please email me if you have any other questions!
Thanks so much Erica! This is AWESOME!
I’m so new to blogging and feel very unorganized! This will be so helpful! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Is there actually a place that says blog or is it something you just have to know. I know I must just sound like an idiot, but I would really like to get involved in these kinds of things any coaching would be appreciated.
Thank you
Jana
Hi Jana,
It says “My BLOG Planner” on the cover of my document. If you’ve got questions about starting up your own blog, you can check out my iBlog and iBlog Pro books, or visit http://www.blogger.com to get started.
Hi Erica!
Love the blog planner!! I just have one question, is there a weekly 2015 planner? In your post you mentioned it, but it links to a weekly 2014 planner. Thanks for the help!
Blessings to you and your family!
Hi Tara,
the weekly planner doesn’t have dates on it, it’s just on the cover so i’ll get that updated!
Erica,
Thanks so much! I didn’t notice it wasn’t dated. (Blush) Thank you for the clarification. I really do appreciate all that you do and provide for us!
Blessings~
Oh my!!! You have already updated the cover date! You ROCK!!! Thanks again!
Blessings~
The weekly pages aren’t dated, but the monthly pages are. And I can’t find the link to the 2015 with the updated cover either. Sorry to be a bother, but I LOVE your planner! Would you be able to update just the dated stuff from the 2014 planner? I’d love to have it for next year!! Thanks!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for making this. Totally awesome!
Thanks! I don’t use all the pages with my small blog, but I do enjoy the pages that I have from last year and printed the ones I need for next year!
There are many helpful resources here. Thank you for sharing. It looks like you are doing a great job. One resource we are using at our house is the book called, “Little Things Long Remembered: Making Your Children Feel Special Every Day,” by author Susan Newman, Ph.D. http://www.susannewmanphd.com/. There are hundreds of suggestions broken in convenient timeframes. Perfect for home school.
Planners can be pricey! I love this idea, too, Robert. I appreciate your book recommend as well. My daughter home schools her two boys, and so I will let her know about this one.
Your daughter will love it. It has really improved our time together as a family.
