Placeit.net
We all liked the way some of Graham's pieces were presented. That's where placeit.net comes in.
It's a paid service, but there are flexible options that may work for you. Even if you just wanted to do a few singles of your best work, it's $8 a piece. Totally worth it, when you consider that this is the vehicle that is going to launch you into the career of your dreams. ;)
Editorial Calendar wha?
Go here and read: http://coschedule.com/content-marketing-editorial-calendar
This will give you a good overview of how and why to use an editorial calendar. I gave a brief overview at the end of class, but for those who missed it, this is a great way to plan your content over time. Why are we doing this? Because you're going to schedule out delivering your in-page copy content over the next few weeks... You know, the way bloggers do it. What? You didn't think they just wrote off the cuff about whatever they wanted did you? They have their topics planned out waaaaay in advance.
So. For next week, I need to see individual blog posts on your blog representing each page of content you will be creating. Each post will have a due date (ideally the day before each class period), spread out through week 10. Let me know if that doesn't make sense.
Trello.com
I use Trello for scheduling out projects all the time. It's what it's for. It's also free. Have a look at the project I created and you'll see what I mean. It's super easy to create categories (backlog, in-progress, done... Whatever makes sense to you). From there you can create cards, and assign dates to them, , and drag the one you're currently working on into the in-progress lane. You'll need to add the calendar power-up from the "show menu" to the right of your board. You'll see what I mean. Anyway, when you're finished with your copy content, you can add it to the description or as an attachment, mark as done, and drag it into the finished lane. Trello... It's what's for dinner.
