If you are a blogger you’ve probably heard about CoSchedule and if you’re anything like me you’ve wondered if it’s worth it. I know when I first heard about CoSchedule, I had no desire to try it. Why should I pay money for a calendar when there are 100’s of free calendars available online.
Then, my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to give it a try. CoSchedule offers a free trial which is awesome for really giving it a fair chance before you make a commitment. By the way the free trial doesn’t require a credit card!
CoSchedule Review
Before I get into my thoughts of this program let’s go over some features of CoSchedule.
- Drag and drop calendar
- Ability to assign tasks to team members.
- You can schedule your Google+, Facebook and Twitter updates without leaving your blog!
- You can reschedule old blog content.
- The plugin is lightweight and doesn’t take up a lot of your WordPress resources.
Sounds cool, right? So how much does this cost? CoSchedule is $10 a month.
I’ve been trying CoSchedule out under their free trial and I have to say I’m really impressed. It was so easy for me to go in and plan out all my blog posts for the next few weeks. When I log into my blog and look at my calendar I love the clean feel of it. I’m able to quickly see what is scheduled to post that day, what I need to work on for the upcoming week and I can even see what social media updates will be going out.
At this time I don’t have a team of writers but if I did I’d be able to assign each team member tasks! This is a huge bonus for larger blogs. No more emailing back and forth and hoping they remember the tasks you assigned. You can now do it right from your WordPress dashboard.

I’ve been a Co-Schedule user for a little over a year now and I’ve never regretted the investment. You can read my full review on Co-Schedule here. […]
