Survey: How Many Of You Post 5 Times A Week Or More? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I write roughly 6 posts per week.

3 on Finance Fox ( On average each post is 700-900 words, except the last few have been between 1200-1600 words)

1-2 on my 2nd Blog (on average 600-700 words)

2 Freelance Posts

I am lucky to blog with my wife, which cuts the work in half.

So we each try to post 2 "real" posts for week, for a total of 4..

..With 1-2 "fluff" posts on the weekend (roundups, carnivals, site updates, etc)

We really don't do much in the way of guest posts.. 

Altho I would be open to it, if it was helping out a Yakezie friend's blog..

For my blogs (Couple Money and My Financial Reviews) I've been averaging 6 posts a week between them. My goal now is to keep the same pace, but write more whale posts. 

I had in the past but came down to 3 times per week. Tried 4 times again lately with mixed results. Traffic for me was better at 3 times, but post quality went up with fewer posts.

I only have one blog and post five days a week. Because I want to grow my community and have people come back daily, I've set off on a structured course:

- Monday: Podcast (not sure if this counts as a post, but it's content)

- Tuesday/Wednesday: Advisory, straight-forward posts on personal finance topics, 101-style.

- Thursday: Cuppa Joe discussion – my opinion on any topic (tomorrow = bullshit Spirit bag fee)

- Friday: Blog Post of the Week! – humor/roundup

I hope my audience is learning to expect something daily.

If OG or I post on weekends, they're sponsored posts. No sponsored stuff on weekdays.

As for blogs I like to read? More = better. I enjoy a post every weekday. If I know someone is posting more often, I'll come back more. I take the weekends off and read zip.

I write more than 5 posts. 4 on OCAAT and 2 -3 on FPR. All my posts are 800 words plus. All self-written and my English is not so strong, I need to spend enormous time on writing and editing.

Page views at OCAAT is 32,000 per month and at FPR, it is 2,500 per month at the moment. 

I do anywhere between 5-6 times/week. 2 of them are usually fluff posts. Page views largely depends on the day – I've increased my visitors by 150% every month so that wouldn't be a good predictor but I find that the more I post the more traffic I get. 

I don't worry about how many words are in my posts – whatever feels right. Today is a 500+ word post, sometimes they're 1000+ words. I REALLY like reading shorter posts on my favorite bloggers – longer posts are usually better if they're a personal story or something. For my very fave bloggers, I would read 7 posts/week!

I've never written 5 posts a week, and I never will. I think it's nearly impossible to generate 5 solid posts a week with only one author. I've seen very few bloggers that are able do that.

As a reader, I'm not sure I would read a blog 5 times a week. The posts would have to be pretty amazing. I much prefer bloggers that post 2-3 times a week, but have longer and more interesting posts because they opt for a less frequent schedule.
