    How To Use Trello as a Blogger

    Modified: Jun 14, 2022 Published: Mar 23, 2021 by Jenna Urben · This post may contain affiliate links

    Are you ready to get your blog organized? Do you constantly have a million content ideas running through your mind? Plan your blog content on Trello and stay on top of all your blog to-do's!

    I was first introduced to Trello about 5 years ago at my first job out of college. We had several boards to coordinate the lifestyle of projects. Trello is intentionally geared towards organizing collaborative tasks.

    Even if you're a solo professional blogger, setting up these systems sets you up for success in the future!

    What is Trello?

    Trello is a web-based project manager. Think to-do list on steroids! There are 3 main elements: Boards, Lists, and Cards.

    Trello Board

    You can have endless boards, for broad topics or projects. For my blogging businesses, I only use 1 board with several lists.

    Trello Lists

    Each board is broken into lists. I have one for long-term stretch goals, another for reminders and to-do items, and then the standard kanban components.

    Trello Cards

    Cards live under lists! Now you can assign each task, reminders, idea, to-do item, ect. a dedicated card. Cards can easily be moved list to list!

    How To Set Up Trello Board (EXAMPLE)

    Like I said, I have 1 main board for my blog. I break my lists down into Reminders/Ideas, In Progress, Blocked, and Completed?

    Let's say I have 10 new blog post ideas, they will each have their own card.

    Within the card, I might have notes, attachments, a checklist, labels, due date, and possibly guest members.

    As I start working on a blog post, I will drag that card into "In Progress". When I publish the blog post, I will move it to "Completed".

    Let's say that I run into a roadblock and can't publish until I take a few photos. In that case, I'll move the card to Blocked until I'm ready to start progress on the task again.

    So, what do I do with all my completed cards? I let them pile up for the week then archive the cards I no longer need.

    What if I need to work on that task again? No problem, I can search for it in my board and copy or move it.

    You also have the option to fully delete the card.

    Ways That I Use Trello as a Blogger

    1. Editorial Calendar
    2. Future Post Ideas
    3. Reminders
    4. Stretch Goals
    5. Personal Organization
