How Often Should You Update Your Blog?

December 26, 2006

The other day a friend asked me via email, how often should he post? Because he was writing about 2 post per week sometimes 3. Well at that moment I told him that there are no strict rules about how often to post, but I also told him that if he want to be a successful blogger and make money with his blog he should consider updating more frequently, why? He asked me, because there are about 50,000,000 of blogs and your readers and subscribers are always waiting for you to update and to post, therefore if you update lets say 1 post per day this mean that your visitors and readers will visit your site every single day and this will increase your stats.

If you don´t update your blog frequently then the readers and subscribers you used to have will leave and they´ll start looking for other alternatives. It is a fact that almost 80% of bloggers don´t update their blogs frequently this gives you more opportunities to get readers and traffic.

But I know that it´s not easy to be constantly updating a blog or a website that depends on many factors like:

  • How many blogs you have
  • How many readers and subscribers you have How old is your blog
  • Your blog topic
  • The length of your posts
  • Your free time
  • And much more…

Let me give you an advice if you want to make real money with your blog , create yourself an schedule and stick to it, let´s say Monday to Friday from 8 am to 11 am write posts and update blog, the rest of the day (not the entire day of course) look for new ideas and topics for the next day.
