If you know you should be blogging but the whole process feels like a tangled mess of brainstorming, writing, and wondering what to do next, this episode is going to be your new best friend. I sat down with Amy Reinecke and Jennifer Draper of Spark Media Concepts to talk about how to actually build a blogging workflow that fits your real life and real schedule.

Amy and Jennifer have over 16 years of combined blogging experience and run Spark Media Concepts, which helps women create blogs that support real business goals. They coach students through courses, memberships, and their own podcast, The Ultimate Blog Podcast.

What you'll hear in this episode

• Why knowing your business "why" is the first (and most overlooked) step in building a blogging workflow
• How to take a time inventory so you stop guessing where your hours go
• The one thing that keeps creative business owners from documenting their process (and how to get past it)
• Which project management tools work for blogging and how to pick the right one for your brain
• How much time you actually need to blog consistently (the answer might surprise you)
• A realistic take on how long it takes for blogging to drive real traffic to your website
• The AI and blogging conversation: where the line is between helpful tool and content crutch
• Why consistency will always beat volume when it comes to long-form content
