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.

We should guest post at each other's sites more, lol.  That way you can get short and sweet and I can get research posts, lol.  I'd definitely be getting the better deal!  ;-)
 

Hi all,

Stumbled on this article that says A-list bloggers post about twice a day!    Interesting…

Thoughts?

Please, Z-list blogger?  I doubt that.   Yeah still finding my sweet spot.  Haha, yeah there are quite a few writing Terminators out there.  Big difference is the Terminators here have been very helpful.  We'll see how things go.  If things go well with my three times a week schedule, great.  If not, might have to shift into semi-Terminator mode.

Because I am a Z-list blogger , I post three times a week. I started blogging with posts twice a week and when I switched to three times, I definitely noticed a big bump in traffic. But I am not a writing Terminator machine like Crystal or Every Day Tips who post every day. I cannot write THAT much and do a great job like they are doing. I guess everyone should find their sweet spot for posting. When I finally become an A-list blogger, I might consider posting everyday… Might…

I think the important thing is to keep to a regular schedule, whether that's once a week on Mondays, M-W-F, T-Th, Mon-Fri, daily, whatever. That way people who like your blog know what to expect. I know a lot of times if I go back to a blog that I like and they haven't posted, after a couple times of that I just don't go back, either because I assume they've blog faded or because I just plain forget.

Here's to not fading from readers' minds!

You are so right.  Blogs that don't update on a schedule usually fade out of my mind…

Hi maximizingmoney,

Nice website, I see what you mean.  You have a lot of current information.  Thanks for your feedback!

I try to post at least once a day, but often post 2-3 times a day.

I'm more newsy, so it's probably easier to generate posts so easily, but I'll post 5 new articles in a given day if the material is available.

My theory is more content equals more traffic, plus since I do current promotions, I'd rather make the info available to my readers sooner than later.

I started writing 5 days a week, but got bored/lazy and went down to 3. I'm trying to go back to 5. I think once a day provides a good routine, since it resembles a common work/school schedule. Then I have weekends off, or I can run an announcement/link-love type posts if needed.

I'm kind of finding my groove at 3 times a week.  This is turning into a second full time job!   I think someone mentioned before, it's not a job if you love what you do and could do it for free.

Post frequency is going to depend on what type of posts you like to write.

 

Newsy blogs can easily post multiple types a day. If you want to write 5,000 word posts, then 2 or 3 times a week is probably enough.

It's so much to do with writing posts, commenting, networking, negotiating deals that it does feel like a full time job.

Fun second full time job!
