A5 blog planner inserts for posts, keywords, calendar and income

This A5 blog planner is a set of 20 undated insert pages for A5 and Half Letter ring binders and discbound planners, designed as two-page spreads. You get an A5 PDF, a Half Letter PDF, print-and-cut files for A4 and US Letter paper that fit two pages on each sheet, and a Read Me First guide, all as an instant download.

From niche to monthly numbers, your blog finally has one calm home on paper.

How the A5 blog planner brings focus to your blog

Begin with the foundations: one sentence that defines your niche, a picture of your ideal reader, your goals and four content pillars, so each post exists for a reason. Gather 30 ideas, sort keywords by intent, volume and difficulty, and then give each article its own spread with a working title, focus keyword, opening hook, H2 and H3 outline, links, alt text, call to action and meta description.

A six week editorial calendar, a 17 point checklist for publishing and a promotion checklist with its own log move every post from draft to shared. Monthly stats, an affiliate and income tracker, a collaboration tracker and a review page show you what is working. Nothing is dated, so reprint any spread when you need a fresh one.

Who these blog inserts suit

• Bloggers who carry an A5 six-ring, a Half Letter binder or a junior discbound planner and want their blog plans inside
• New bloggers choosing a niche, defining pillars and building a first keyword list
• Food, travel, craft, family and lifestyle writers who publish a handful of posts each month
• Hobby bloggers and niche site owners who like tracking views, affiliate income and sponsored work on paper

Design, sizes and layout

• Minimal and elegant: white pages with soft blush pink accents that use little ink
• Generous margins, so home printers keep everything
• Portrait A5 (148 x 210 mm) and Half Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in), plus print-and-cut sheets for A4 and US Letter
• Undated, so you can begin in any month and reprint the post planner, checklists, calendar and trackers again and again
• The editorial calendar begins on Monday in the A5 and print-and-cut A4 files, and on Sunday in the Half Letter and print-and-cut Letter files
• Mirrored margins: 14 mm on the binding side (left on odd pages, right on even) and 8 mm on the outer edge
• Lines and table rows spaced at least 6.5 mm apart, with text no smaller than 8.5 pt, so writing on a small page stays comfortable
• A dashed center line and cut ticks on the print-and-cut sheets, so one cut makes two pages
• Use in a binder or on a clipboard, or spiral bind at a print shop

Good to know

• These are PDFs for printing, not a hyperlinked digital planner, though you can import them into most note taking apps and write on them.
• You receive digital files only. Nothing physical is shipped.
• Colors may look slightly different on paper than on screen.
• For your personal use only. Please do not share, resell or pass on the files.
• Digital files can't be returned. If a file will not open or print correctly, email us and we will help quickly.
• Ring spacing varies between brands, so there are no punch marks. Punch the wide inner margin with your own A5 6-hole, junior or disc punch.
• This is an organizing tool for your blog, not financial, tax or legal advice. The stats fields are blank, so you can copy numbers from whichever analytics tool you use.
