My Favorite Blog Posts to Write

Blogging has been such an interesting thing for me. I have been blogging for Eco Modern Concierge for many years. Many of times it has been off and on. This past year it has been on more than any other years. I've never had any intentions of blogging as a career. I do it because clients and potential clients like to see that I am current and up-to-date on many things. As you probably know, my blog posts are usually pretty short, which is what works best for me and is manageable for me.

My favorite blog posts to write are probably the quick gift idea ones and the organizing posts. Since I sign confidentiality agreements with many clients there are some things that I can't post or write about, but really wish I could because there are some really cool day-to-day things that I get to do from time to time.

What are the type of blog posts you would like to see on the Eco Modern Concierge blog or which ones that I currently write do you like best?

Organizing The Eco Modern Concierge Blog: Scheduling Blog Posts

So one of my goals last year was to consistently blog for Eco Modern Concierge and schedule blog posts. I started finally doing it most consistently the 2nd part of the year and man it was wonderful. During the holidays and when I was super busy I did not have to worry about posting content. I try to have things scheduled at least a month in advance, but of course change / move things around when I need to. I am not trying to be a full-time blogger. I do it mostly for Eco Modern Concierge to stay current and up-to-date. So far, have gotten good feedback. I go over professional organizer / organizing projects in Houston,  personal assistant tasks tips & tricks, eco products, concierge must haves, Houston related content, etc.

Here is what has helped me stay organized with blog content:

• First I write down subjects / topic ideas that I want to post about. Currently I have 43 drafts of content that I want to eventually publish. 
• I choose days of the week that I want to post. For me I chose Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I totally change that from time to time. 
• I print out blank calendar pages and that is where I write down what I will be posting on what days, if I need a photo for the posts, etc. I scratch all kinds of things out and move posts, etc. 
• I follow a loose editorial calendar.
• Mondays: Made in the USA, EMC business happenings, personal assistant tasks, etc.
• Wednesdays: Organization, tips, projects, etc.
• Fridays: Eco, Houston related posts, small business highlight, gift ideas, concierge posts, etc. 
• I then gather photos or take photos for the blog.
• Lastly, I schedule the posts. 

Having calendar pages and keeping track of posts is what keeps me most organized when it comes to the Eco Modern Concierge blog. I am a visual person and like to see things on paper.

Is there any particular type of blog content that you would like to see?

New Blog Layout

Finally updated this little ol' blog of mine by switching up templates and tying to make it more streamlined and fresh. I am still trying to work out the kinks and figure out how to not make my pictures so big and losing picture quality. Who knows I may not update often because lets be honest I'm not too good at updating regularly, but I am trying to be more consistent. I just get caught up in work through the business and honestly just don't feel like it some times, but I do enjoy it. I have these mini series like, Made in the USA, that are challenging and fun to post plus it highlights some of my favorite items I use. I will TRY hard to take before and after pictures of my projects like organization. I have high hopes of doing a lot of things in the new year like I do every year, so we'll see.

Personal Blog

So I have another blog that is a personal blog about my husband and I's life happenings. It was first started in January 2012 to document our wedding planning, but that went by the waste side quick, so I am slowly, but surely posting several things leading up to our wedding and will eventually post pictures from our wedding. The whole process was not nearly as stressful as I thought and I loved every minute of it especially our wedding day.

I'm back....

Once again I let my blogging slide and haven’t posted since February. I know there isn’t an excuse, but I have been swamped with work and some very exciting projects. For many of people it can become hard to juggle it all, which in my case I LOVE everything I do so I do my best to juggle it all. Luckily for me most of the time I know when enough is enough and I need to take a break. This is something many people struggle with including several of my clients that lead for busy lives.
