If content creation feels like a weekly scramble—coming up with what to say, where to say it, and when to post it—you’re not alone. One of the biggest challenges small business owners face isn’t writing. It’s planning.
This week’s training is designed to fix that. In just one focused session, you can plan and draft a full month of blog posts—and set yourself up for emails and social posts that flow naturally from them.
It’s part of a simple, repeatable content system that we’re walking through step by step. If you haven’t yet watched the training on how to build and use a swipe file, you’ll want to do that first—it lays the groundwork for everything we cover here. Click here to read that post.
Today’s focus is the planning step: choosing your blog topics, drafting them quickly, and preparing them for publication. This system will save you hours each month and help you stay consistent across your blog, list, and social channels.

This Isn't Just a Blog Plan
We’re not just talking about blog content in isolation. When done right, your blog becomes the anchor for your other content: your weekly email and your social media posts.
That’s what this system is designed to do—give you one clear message per week that you can expand or shorten based on the platform. From one blog post, you can:
- Send a short email linking to the post
- Create a carousel, reel, or quote graphic for social media
- Repurpose parts of the post into list emails or nurture sequences
When your content is planned this way, every piece supports the others—and you don’t feel like you’re starting over every time you need to “show up.”
The Tools You’ll Use
This system uses just three tools—nothing fancy, nothing new:
- Write with AI: Inside AttractWell, to generate post titles, drafts, and excerpts
- Your Trello Swipe File & Planner: Covered in the previous training
- Canva: For creating simple, on-brand blog graphics using a ready-made template
We’ll show you how to use these together to go from scattered ideas to a month of planned content in less than an hour.
Step 1: Choose Your Weekly Topics
Start by identifying 4–5 blog topics that match your audience and offers. If you’ve already saved inspiration in your swipe file, this step is quick—just drag a few ideas into your “Content Ideas” column in Trello.
If you're starting fresh, use Write with AI to generate blog titles. Tell it who you are, who you help, and the tone you want to use. Example:
“I’m a wellness coach helping new moms use natural products to support family health. Generate 5 blog post titles in a fun, friendly tone.”
Once you have your titles, paste them into individual Trello cards using the long-form content template.
Step 2: Draft the Blog Posts
Use Write with AI again to draft your blog post copy. Start with a prompt like this:
“Write a 1,000-word blog post titled [insert your title]. Speak to [describe your audience]. Use a friendly tone. Include 3–5 tips or ideas. End with a call to action to book a free consult.”
Once generated, paste each draft into its respective Trello card under “Drafts in Progress.” This gives you a clear view of which posts are written and ready for editing.
Step 3: Add Your Excerpts
Excerpts are the short summaries that appear on your blog homepage and in search results. They help readers quickly understand what each post is about and decide what to read.
Use Write with AI to generate these as well. Prompt:
“Summarize the following blog post in one engaging sentence for use as a preview and meta description.”
Paste the result into the Trello card (we recommend adding it as a comment or label so it’s easy to find later).
Step 4: Create Your Blog Images
Use the provided Canva template to create branded blog graphics for each post. Swap in your blog titles, adjust colors and fonts, and use photos or elements that fit your brand style.
Once finished, download your graphics as PNG or JPEG files and attach them to the matching Trello cards.
Step 5: Assign Dates and Review
Assign your planned publish dates using Trello’s due date feature. If you're publishing weekly, assign your posts to Mondays (or whatever cadence you choose).
By the end of this step, you’ll have everything in place: titles, full drafts, excerpts, and images—ready to be scheduled and shared.
This System Saves You More Than Time
This isn’t just about saving an hour this week. It’s about building a workflow you can repeat. You can do one month in under an hour—or go a little longer and plan a full quarter.
It works because it separates the steps: planning, writing, editing, publishing. That means fewer distractions, fewer delays, and less switching between tasks. It’s also easier to outsource if you ever choose to get help.
And because this system is built around blog posts, you’re creating content that can be repurposed—into list emails, nurture sequences, reels, carousels, and more.
