Social Media Tracking Insert (and best blog planner printables)

I've been a bit quiet for a while eh - I'm just nearing the end of m my third month at my new job and spent a month training my colleague while continuing with my normal role - so I've basically been trying to do a two person job and teach at the same time. I'm not complaining but I'm weary it's leaving me little time and energy for my hobbies including the blog!

Anyhoo,  I reckon it's pretty important, if you're going to commit to developing your social media, that you somehow track your progress. 

There are some amazing printables out there which I'll quickly share below, but these are all surplus to my needs. At the moment I just wanted to track my followers, my posts, my most popular posts. SO here is what I came up with, as an insert for my filofax:

(again, I'm printing in magenta as that's all the ink I have (we don't do much printing in this household and we're frugal with the ink and paper!))



When it's all cut out and stuck in the month names fall sort of in the centre, so there's no need to duplicate that column and you get an extra column for stats.

This is a double sided sheet so you could use it to record more on the other side - facebook, twitter, instagram, all the other things most other people do that I don't use often (if at all). Of course, you can also change the months to begin where necessary. I'm so eager to complete the July column!!!!

If you think this sort of set up would assist you, you can download it here (free of course):

So here's a quick little gallery (with links) to some cool planners others have made, they may or may not be free and/or printables but check them out and you might come up with some ideas of your own!

I just found this article which details the pro's of a lot of the planners above and links to other bloggers' opinions on them so I highly recommend checking that out, because let's face it, mine is just a stats sheet! What are your thoughts? Comment below!
