Post Frequency Sweet Spot | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I think my sweet spot is 3 times a week so each post gets at least 2 days. One day to post and one day to promote.

I'll probably do a weekend link round up once in a while, but I'm probably not going to do it every week.

Yeah I think most people (unless they are large blogs with groups of writers) probably do a new post every 2 days.  So that works out to about 3 posts per week.  If you are in a chatty mood, just schedule those posts for another day!

I'm one of the weird ones that posts every day.  Sunday is super easy and I now accept one guest post a week (sometimes 2 if something pops up).  I haven't burned out yet and it's been 9 months, but I also don't write 1000 word research pieces.  I think it's all a matter of comfort.  I like short, chatty posts daily so I can get my commenters going every day.  I'm sure I surprise them with "real" info once in a while, but it's usually just my ramblings.  :-)

I post anywhere from 4-7 days a week.  I definitely have  a regular schedule of what type of post is on which day.

I'm kinda falling into that schedule, too.  Never thought about that, one day post, one day promote.  Sounds like a good plan to me.

Duh!  I should have thought of that.  I'm now using my drafts folder to keep ideas in storage.  Thanks!

Nice that you're so motivated, but if you think you need to slow now, you may have to listen…  I'm trying to find that sweet spot for myself, hence the question.

I have been posting everyday myself, but I need to slow it down I think…

Like I was saying, feeling like a media outlet…  Up to the minute headlines…  Here's breaking news!

I write almost every day.  I post M/W/F + a roundup most Saturdays.

From what I've seen, daily posts get more traffic than every other day, but twice daily doesn't necessarily beat once daily.   It doesn't matter, because I don't think I can maintain daily posting.

Khaleef and Crystal,

 

You guys are the dynamos!  Once a day, impressive.  I'm trying to figure if I am a researcher or a rambler…  I think I'm more like you Crystal.  I like to rant and ramble, most of the times.

It's very hard for me, because my style is that of a researcher. I have no problem writing a 2,000 word post! However, I have changed up my style to incorporate more rants or breaking news types of posts. I'm also trying to figure out what works best to start up a conversation.
