The Badass Blog Planner: Your guide to defining your purpose, creating clarity, and building a year of killer content Paperback – January 7, 2015

The Badass Blog Planner is the perfect tool for any blogger! It's an easy read and helps you get organized and on track. What I love most about it is I can keep everything in one spot. I don't have printed out papers in folders that I have to dig through. Best of all it's bright, clean, and sits nicely next to my desk for easy access. I highly recommend this to any new or seasoned blogger!

I saw this book on Pinterest and didn't read much about it before purchasing, just looked at some of the pictures. First the good parts. I do like the worksheets and I love the design. I think over the coming year or two it will be helpful in brainstorming and tracking my blog progress.Now for the bad. The workbook can't decide if it's for beginners or experienced bloggers. It basically has worksheets to track what you did last year and then plan what you'll do this year. No tips or guidelines, just space to track your numbers and brainstorm how to improve them. As a beginning blogger, I don't even have a previous year to compare with so I'll have to work on that this year and come back to it. Yet other reviews say that for experienced bloggers it's too basic, so I'm not sure who the intended audience is! Also there are so few worksheets for future ideas compared to tracking past performance. I could easily write down past performance in a spreadsheet or notebook. I wanted guidance on making a game plan for my upcoming content!My biggest issue though is the quality. As much as I love the design, if I'd known how poor the print quality was, I would NOT have purchased this book. The cover is cheap paper, not thick like a paperback book usually is. The inside is the same, but the absolute worst aspect is the ink itself. The images on the cover and even the text inside the book is grainy and makes your eyes hurt looking at it. Even the basic text seems to have a greenish shadow behind it like it printed in two colors and it makes it hard to read. Your eyes instantly blur the lines. Perhaps this is a self-published book and if so then I salute them on the design but they need to view proof copies first next time! Even a small printing shop should be able to print text that's actually readable.

This isn’t a blog journal to generate new ideas. This is not a brainstorming activity for new material. This is ONLY a log of your past year. Not only is it completely pointless for anyone who is newly starting out (the title and info given does not tell you this)... BUT ... even if I had an entire past year to journal on... I could have made this list on my own. Do not let the photos fool you. This booklet is smaller than a toddlers coloring book. Each page is designated for a site. Facebook. Insta. Etc. What you did right, what you did wrong. What generated the most activity.... you get the gist.That. Is. It.

This is a great blog planner. The ONLY reason why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it’s for established bloggers. I wish the title or synopsis of the book would have mentioned that.

As a long-time blogger, I have had many, many, MANY blog planners. This one is definitely one of my favorites. It actually probably tops the charts because, unlike the other planners, I didn't have to print an entire ream of paper to get to the good stuff! The Badass Blog Planner is small but mighty - Sarah leaves out the fluff and gets right down to the good stuff, giving you everything you need to plan that badass blog of yours.I would easily buy again, and will likely gift it to friends and clients!

This is an awesome planner, unfortunately it's for a blog that is up and running, not for new blogs. I glad I have it and will use it later on, but since I just set up a new blog, I feel like this is for the next step.

I just received this item and am so disappointed with it. I expected something more substantial for $18, but this is just a very thin workbook. Each page out of the 70+ pages has fill-in prompts without any content on blogging. While I like that concept for a planner, this doesn't present itself as a calendar as real planners do. Those are expected to be blank because it's for filling in your year of activities. This is a "guide to defining your purpose, creating clarity, and building a year (in 70+ pages?!) of killer content." How can a workbook with only prompts promise to accomplish any of that? I think that everyone should just get a notebook for a few bucks and find useful tips on Pinterest instead.Unfortunately I'm probably going to have to keep this since return shipping isn't free (why not, Amazon??), so it'll cost almost half of what I paid, making the return pointless. The two star rating is for the attractive cover and clean design, I just wish it had a lot more to offer.

This is very helpful in organizing your thoughts but not only that. It helps you through the entire process of building a viable blog that may just produce an income. The book covers all aspects of creating and running a digital media platform. Everything from creating meaningful, appealing content, mapping out your work as well as reaching audiences and finding funding. They even touch on the tech aspects of the business. I have had other blog workbooks but his one by far is most comprehensive and user friendly. I must say though that this book is not necessarily a starting point. Research and the development of a strong concept should come before cracking this open, but what do I know! ( amazon does have some great books as a prelude to this!)

It might help me with my blog writing and planning as I wished to when I looked up the subject.

This is giving me the help I need

Consiglio questo planner a chiunque decida di intraprendere la srada del blogging.Il planner permette di panificare la propria attività online e fornisce validi consigli.Molto utile!

Sinceramente mi aspettavo molto di più. Il prezzo è eccessivo per quello che alla fine si ha da questo "libro", che alla fine non è altro se non un quaderno tutto vuoto da riempire. Tanti campi non si applicano nemmeno alle mie esigenze, in rete ci sono tanti pdf stampabili GRATUITI molto meglio di questo.

It's a shame the Amazon Packer didn't give a s*** about the products sold as my copy came in bent at the top AND bottom corner, (non spine), with a large crease across the middle. Remember how the books from Elementary School Libraries looked? Frayed Edges, and creased up? Yeah.. that's the condition of this.. Definitely won't be gifting this as originally planned.But I did skim through it to realize it was not worth the $30. I also want to point out this is not a planner for a new blogger to plan content as perceived, it is in fact for already established bloggers, (unless you want to buy it for 6 pages).What you will get:Pg. 1-11: Review of WHY you BlogPg. 12-27: Two Page Spread of the following platforms to record your most popular posts from the year past: Blog, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube. VERY limited and specific.Pg. 28- 37: Static Pages review, Projects and Products summary, and then 6 pages to write about PAST content and "What Worked Well" and "What I would have done differently.38-61: Recaps of: Advertising, Email Marketing, Partnerships and Sponsers in place/cost.62-72: ACTUAL CONTENT PLANNING IS ONLY 9 PAGES! Content Planning: Spread of Short Term Goals, Spread of Long Term Goals, Spread of calendar for content, 2 pages, (front and back), and then a page devoted to quarters.This magazine sized, record keeper, (hardly a planner!) would have made great for a free E-Book for subscribing to the website! Definitely a waste of money for anyone looking for an actual useful Blog/Business planner!
