Hi! I'm Hope!

I found this unique product from Vancouver based photographer Jamie Delaine. She raved so highly about Co-Schedule, I had to check it out for myself.

I’ve been struggling with blogging, because in order to gain traction, and build an audience you need to be very consistent. And with my work schedule, and just life in general, it’s super hard to keep up with the pace. Co-Schedule makes it easier for me, because of the drag-n-drop calendar feature. As you can see below I can go ahead, and schedule an entire month’s worth of posts, or make drafts to work on throughout the month. It helps me to keep track of all the ideas that are floating around in my head.

But let’s get specific, about why I really love this app. Below I have listed most of the features of this app:

*Plug-In for WordPress Blogs

*Can schedule a month’s worth of posts at a time. (And even more if you have that many blog posts to schedule.)

*Can sync with Facebook Page, and Twitter.

*Can schedule events.

*Can have multiple authors added. (Example: If you share a blog with someone else, or with a group of people. Each one of you can create your own content under your name.)

*Get data about how your blog posts are doing/ranking. 

 

Those are just a few of the amazing features on this incredible plug-in.

My favorite feature is the drag-n-drop post. If I want to feature something different on, lets say Nov. 11th, all I have to do is drag those posts to reschedule. My time that I set the blog post for stays the same, but it automatically changes the date. I absolutely love it!

Another reason I love this company, and their product so much is because they make it personal. They make it a point to contact you first thing, to find out why you joined, and how much you like it or not. For me, that let’s me know that they value my opinion, and they care. The absolute worst thing is when a company wants you to keep upgrading for things you don’t want or need, and never bothers to follow up with you. That does not make me want to stay with a company like that. For me, that’s a red flag to run away.

But are you ready for the best part?

(Especially to all of you who are new business owners.) 

It’s super affordable, for $10/month,and if you want to take it for a test drive you don’t have to put your card number down! If you didn’t like it, you didn’t put your card information on their site, and therefore they won’t automatically deduct anything out of your account.

And get this, they’ve already given you the very best, so you don’t have to upgrade to a price you can’t afford! You get all of this for $10/month.

Whether you work with a team, or you are running your business alone, I cannot recommend a better blogging tool than this.

I hope that you have enjoyed this post, and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Stay beautiful!

Love,

Hope
