If you have decided that your blog will cover Blogger, website building and content development for beginners, the next step is not to write down every title that comes to mind. You need a blog content plan that connects three points: what readers are asking, what result each post helps them achieve and how the next post will build on that result.
By the end of this article, you will have a workable 20-post plan for SaibABC Blog, including titles, primary questions, outcomes, labels, post types, related posts and writing order. SaibABC Blog is a planned illustrative project on Blogger; the table below is a practice plan, not evidence that these posts have been published or that the blog has readers.
First, determine who these 20 posts are for and what they should accomplish
The example’s primary readers are beginners who want to create a blog themselves, write useful content, organize a website and gradually explore the possibility of growing or monetizing it. They may know a little about Blogger but may not yet distinguish between a concept explainer, a task-based tutorial and a troubleshooting article.
That is why the plan does not begin with overly broad topics such as “SEO,” “making money” or “brand building.” Each post should answer a specific enough question that readers know what they will be able to do after finishing it.
This principle is also consistent with guidance from Google Search Central: content should be created primarily to help readers, rather than solely to manipulate search rankings (according to Google Search Central). This is an editorial principle, not a promise that any particular post will rank or receive traffic.
How to turn your blog direction into a post list
Start with groups of questions, not keywords
In your topic-direction plan, you already identified your audience, primary benefit and initial questions. For SaibABC Blog, those questions may cover choosing a platform, creating a blog, publishing posts, organizing content, checking the reading experience and developing articles.
Write the questions in terms a beginner might actually use:
- What do I need to prepare before writing my first post?
- How can I tell whether an image can be used in a blog post?
- How should I set up Blogger labels so they do not become a disorganized list?
- How do I check a post on a phone before publishing it?
- If a published post contains an error, which part should I fix first?
Not every question needs to become a separate post. If two questions require the same outcome and process, combine them. Conversely, if one post must address too many different needs, split it into a foundational post and a specialized post.
Distinguish foundational posts from problem-solving posts
| Post type | Role | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Foundational post | Explains a general concept or process so beginners share the same starting point. | Distinguishing between Posts, Pages and Labels. |
| Practical tutorial | Guides readers through a task with defined inputs and a verifiable outcome. | Drafting a complete blog introduction post. |
| Problem-solving post | Helps readers diagnose a specific issue instead of relearning the entire foundation. | Fixing an image that overflows on a phone. |
| Improvement post | Uses an existing result to review, update or choose the next step. | Reviewing an older post before sharing it. |
A sound plan usually begins with a few foundational posts, moves on to practical tutorials and then expands into troubleshooting and improvement. This approach means readers do not have to jump into advanced settings before they understand the objective.
Define an observable outcome for each post
“Understand SEO” or “know how to write better” is too vague an outcome. Replace it with a product or action that can be checked, such as:
- a one-page direction brief;
- a draft introduction post;
- an image-review checklist;
- a trial label system;
- a tracking table for posts that need updating.
Once the outcome is clear, it becomes easier to decide which post to write first and when its scope is sufficient. Titles should also accurately describe the content; Google recommends titles that are clear, concise and accurately reflect the destination page (according to Google Search Central).
The first-20-post plan for SaibABC Blog
The table below presents a sample roadmap for a blog focused on “Blogger guides, website building, and content development for beginners.” The titles are not mandatory. You can revise the wording after reviewing your readers’ actual questions, but you should retain the intended outcome and logical order if the initial conditions remain unchanged.

Why Is This Order Suitable for Beginners?
The first four posts establish the foundations: the audience, the blog name, and how to introduce it. Posts 5–10 move on to writing and checking a specific post. In posts 11–15, readers begin organizing content, creating pathways between posts, and checking quality. Posts 16–20 focus on work scheduling, feedback, measurement, and deciding what to write next.
This order does not mean you must wait until all 20 posts are complete before publishing anything. If you already have a sufficiently good post, you can publish it earlier. However, you should preserve the dependencies: a guide to creating a roundup page should not point to a series of posts that do not yet exist, and a post about improving older content needs an existing older post as its starting point.
For SaibABC Blog, “5 Things to Prepare Before Creating a Personal Blog” is sample material already defined in the project. You can use it to illustrate outlining, image selection, link checking, and pre-publication review. Do not treat this 20-post plan as a requirement to add 20 more posts to the “Blogger from A to Z” series; it is an exercise in content planning for a practical blog.
Choose a Publishing Pace That Fits Your Available Time
Do not start with a schedule that works only when you have plenty of time. Choose one of the following three paces:
| Available time | How to proceed | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Limited time | Complete a small part of one post each week. | Write posts 1–5 first, keep the scope narrow, and use a checklist. |
| Consistent schedule | Complete one post or one update each week. | Alternate foundational, practical, and review posts. |
| More available time | Prepare multiple drafts, but publish them only after reviewing them. | Create clusters of related posts rather than publishing many nearly identical posts at once. |
For example, if you have only one evening each week, divide one post into four sessions: define the question, create an outline, write a draft, then review and publish it. This schedule is a practical suggestion, not a required timeframe for the blog to grow.
How to Check the Plan Before You Start Writing
Open the content plan and check each row using the following questions:
- Audience: Do I know who this post is for?
- Question: Does the title address a specific need, or is it trying to cover too many issues?
- Outcome: What can readers do, create, or check after reading the post?
- Scope: Does the post overlap with another post's content?
- Links: Does the related post already exist, or is it still only part of the plan?
- Label: Does the label accurately describe the content group rather than simply repeat a keyword?
- Sustainability: Do I have enough time and information to write this article?
Mark an article as “ready to write” only when you have its question, intended outcome, brief outline, and required inputs. If it still depends on a page or article that does not exist, record that dependency instead of creating a placeholder link.
Common mistakes when planning the first 20 articles
Writing 20 articles that all answer the same question
Changing a few words in the title does not create 20 different reader needs. Compare the question, audience, outcome, and example. If all four elements are nearly identical, merge the articles or take a different angle.
Listing only titles without recording the outcome
A title may sound appealing while still being too broad. The “reader outcome” column forces you to define what the article should help readers do or decide.
Adding nonexistent items to the menu and links
In the sample project, items such as “Learn Blogger” or the “Content Writing” label may be part of the plan without having been created yet. Add them to the menu only when the page or label has a real, accessible destination from the reader’s perspective.
Setting a schedule you cannot maintain
A demanding schedule that you can follow for only a few weeks will undermine the plan. Choose a publishing cadence you can maintain for many weeks, then adjust it based on your actual workload.
Exercise: Complete the plan for your blog
You can copy the template below into a spreadsheet:
| Order | Working title | Question | Outcome | Label | Dependent article | Planned date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [Tiêu đề] | [Người đọc muốn biết gì?] | [Họ làm hoặc kiểm tra được gì?] | [Nhãn] | [Bài đã có hoặc “không có”] | [Ngày] |
| 2 | [Tiêu đề] | [Câu hỏi] | [Kết quả] | [Nhãn] | [Bài liên quan] | [Ngày] |
Fill in all 20 rows, then classify each article as foundational, practical, problem-solving or improvement-focused. If too many articles fall into the same category, review the order. A new blog usually needs a balance of explanation, practical work, and review; there is no need to force a fixed ratio, but you should not write only broad conceptual articles.
What to do after completing the planning table
Choose the first article for which you have enough inputs and a manageable scope, rather than the one that sounds most important but cannot yet be verified. For the SaibABC Blog plan, you can begin by reviewing Articles 1 and 2, then use the results to create the next draft.
If you want to move from topic planning to writing a complete article, see the Blogger and Blogspot explainer for an example of how to limit the scope and define the reader outcome. In this series, the next article will use this plan to develop a specific draft:
How to Write a Useful Blog Post: Turn Questions into Actionable ContentBefore moving on to the draft, save the planning table, record the update date, and mark ideas that are still only tentative. A good plan is not a permanently fixed list; it is a tool that helps you choose the next article for a clear reason, avoid duplication, and know what you need to verify.
