Introducing the easy way to create a newsletter editorial calendar

Before you create the first issue of your newsletter, take the time to create an editorial calendar that lists the topics for your first 12 issues.

This is the easiest way to avoid the stress associated with "deadline madness," which occurs when you suddenly realize your newsletter is overdue.

Choosing your newsletter topics in advance, and occasionally referring to your editorial calendar, puts your subconscious mind to work. While driving, sleeping, or doing other tasks, your mind will be coming up with ideas for upcoming issues. By the time you sit down to write each issue, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much work has already been done!

The best way to create an editorial calendar is to use a Mind Mapping software program like Mind Manager. Mind Manager helps you see the overall picture of your newsletter program, while keeping track of ideas for each issue.
