2016 Blog Planner Free Printable + Christmas Bonus

Another year has flown by and its time to reveal my 2016 Blog Planner FREE printable!  It still has all the pages you would ever need in a blog planner. I have really loved this planner the past year and I don’t know why I didn’t make one before last year.

The pages in the planner are:

• Cover Page and Spine
• 2016 Monthly Calendars
• Future Posts
• Weekly Post Planner
• Expense Tracker
• Paid Sponsor Post Tracker
• Passwords
• Future Projects & Ideas
• Future Post Notes
• Series Post Notes
• Blogging Contacts
• Giveaways & Reviews
• Monthly Statistics

With the monthly dividers you can put what pages you need for each month for the whole year and if you decide to change any out, its easy with the 3 ring binder.   I like having the month on the left side and all my other pages for the month on the right side.  I usually transfer some of the pages over to the next month.  Such as post notes, series ideas, etc.

After the month tabs, I have a section of tabs for passwords, contacts, blog stats and any extra pages I have printed out.  I like to keep all my monthly stats in one area so I can go back and look how I have done over the past months.  I also have last years pages there too.  Its just a great reminder of how well your blog has grown over the years.

Here is how I set up my planner and the supplies I use:

I use a simple 1 inch clear front 3 ring binder because I found that I was constantly changing out sheets each month. You can slide the cover page on the front and in the spin area to make it your own.

I print my pages on 32 pound paper.  I found out early that printing on regular copy paper and using markers would bleed through.  What a mess!  Using 32 pound paper keeps that from happening and its strong enough to stay nice and flat in the notebook.  Remember you will be opening your notebook so many times and you want paper that will last and hold up at the holes.

I use monthly dividers for each month and plain dividers for extra sheets that I don’t necessarily use every month. I used my Epson Label Maker for the labels on the plain dividers, but you can write on them also.  I have some page protectors in the back to keep important website host information and other items I need to quickly glance at.

I also have a large pencil pocket holder in the very front for my pens, paper clips, etc.

I do use different colored pens to help me when it comes to putting ideas on the monthly calendar.  I love these Paper Mate pens.

Just click on the 2015 Blog Planner link below and it will  be a Zip form file with the PDF file for the planner and the cover is a JPG.

Just pick and choose the forms you need for your blog and have fun!!  I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me this past years.

HINT:  When printing out the cover page, if your printer has a setting for borderless, choose that.  Then you won’t have to do any cutting to trim the edge.

BONUS: I am also enclosing a couple of planner sheets for keeping up with your Christmas cards and gifts.  I find it so easy to go back to these year after year to see what gifts I have given and who I have sent cards to and received from.

Enjoy,

Tammy
